Description

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this wonderful Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Homer Fountain Pen, which comes with its Homer Montblanc presentation box (including outers) and unstamped information booklet. The pen has been carefully used and is presented in overall excellent condition (some light marks on the section). Only 9800 were produced and this is number 3013. The fine nib was swapped to a broad, likely at initial purchase.

Launched in 2018, as the yearly offering from the Montblanc Writers Edition, the Homer is one of the most striking and recognisable pens from the series. This tribute to the author of the epic poems, the Iliad and the Odyssey, is a wonderful creation.

Taking its design inspiration from the story of the Trojan horse, the overall shape is a nod to the horse itself, with the back and clip reflecting the spear of Achilles. The engravings found on the cone and rings use motifs found on the traditional Greek pottery, with the colour of the pen also reflecting the colour of the pottery of that time.

The pen is fitted with a #9 18k broad nib and it’s a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled ink. The Homer is always particularly coveted due to the #9 nib, which on Writers Edition is only found on this, the Hemingway and Dumas.

The important details are as follows…

• Excellent Condition

• Book Style Presentation Box

• Broad Nib

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”.
