Description

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this wonderful Montblanc Writers Edition Honore de Balzac Fountain Pen, which comes with its book style Montblanc presentation box (the sleeve and outer are missing). The pen has never been used and is presented in virtually as new condition. Only 10000 were produced and this is number 08036.

Ever year Montblanc honour a great literary figure, as part of their writers limited edition. In 2013 it was Honoré de Balzac, the French novelist and playwright.

The design of the pen is inspired by Balzac’s style, with his pointed shoes being reflected in the shapre of the cone. The striped black and grey barrel are a nod to the “cutaway”, which was an important part of his wardrobe. The clip and clip ring reflect the decorated walking stick that he carried. Balzac’s signature is engraved on the cap.

The pen is fitted with an 18k medium nib and it’s a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled ink.

The important details are as follows…

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”.
