Description

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Montblanc Writers Edition Franz Kafka Fountain Pen, which comes with its Montblanc presentation box (including outer), unused polishing cloth and booklets. The pen never been used and is presented in virtually as new condition – the M sticker, denoting a medium nib, remains on the barrel. Only 18500 pens were produced and this is number 11635.

 

 

 

Every year Montblanc honour a great literary figure, as part of their writers limited edition. In 2004 it was Franz Kafka.

 

 

 

The barrel and cap are crafted from a semi-transparent dark red resin, with the trim being sterling silver. The design is inspired by his most famous work “The Metamorphosis”, with the tapered barrel making this one of the most interesting designs from the series.

 

 

 

The pen is fitted with an 18k medium nib, which features an engraving of a cockroach. Due to the shape of the barrel, the pen is fitted with a captive converter, so your choice here is bottled ink.

With every pen that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial / limitation number and date it was purchased from us. We do this because our customers like to have documentation showing that it’s been purchased from a trusted seller. As the Financial Times said recently in their How To Spend It publication – “izods is an e-cache of ultra fine fountain pens”.
