Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Montblanc Meisterstück 149 75th Anniversary Limited Edition 1924 Fountain Pen, which comes with its large Montblanc presentation box (including outer) and booklet. The pen has never been used and is presented in virtually as new condition - the M sticker, denoting a medium nib, remains on the barrel (this was obviously swapped from a fine, as the outer sticker on the box mentions F). Only 1924 examples were produced and this is number 1832.
For full disclosure, we're slightly biased as we'd consider this one of the greatest 'modern' Montblanc pens!
The 75th anniversary writing instruments were released in 1999 to commemorate 75 years of the Meisterstuck range (launched in 1924). There were two main editions available, one being the unlimited yellow gold ‘special edition’ pens and then the rose gold ‘limited edition’ pens, of which only 1924 examples were produced. This is the rose gold limited edition, which features a glorious mother-of-pearl snowcap.
To distinguish these anniversary editions from the usual offerings, you’ll find a second gold band around the top of the clip, in which is mounted a diamond and the inscription ’75 years of passion and soul’ – with the diamond being the ‘o’ in passion.
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 writing instrument 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".
