Description

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Montblanc Daniel Defoe Writers Edition Fountain Pen, Ballpoint Pen and Mechanical Pencil Set which comes with its trio of folio-style Montblanc presentation boxes (including outers) and stamped information booklet – confirming first purchase on 14th July 2014. All three writing instruments have never been used and are presented in virtually as new condition. They all have a wonderful low limitation number of 0006.

Launched in 2014, as the yearly offering for the Montblanc Writers Edition. The Defoe takes its inspiration from his famous novel ‘Robinson Crusoe’, which was released in 1719. The barrel and cap are crafted from a swirling brown and black resin, with the cap being shaped like a feather, which is a nod to ‘Poll’ his parrot. The shape of the pen reflects the shape of the boats paddle draft. The pattern on the cap ring and piston cone are a reproduction of the pattern used on the first edition of the book.

The fountain pen is fitted with an 18k extra fine nib (this was swapped from a medium in 2023 and the paperwork is supplied) and it’s a piston filling pen, so your choice here is bottled ink. The ballpoint pen will come fitted with a new refill and the pencil has 0.7mm leads.

With every set that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial / limitation number and date it was purchased from us.

As the Financial Times said recently in their How To Spend It publication – “izods is an e-cache of ultra fine fountain pens”.
