Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Montblanc George Bernard Shaw Writers Edition Fountain Pen, which comes with its Montblanc presentation box (including outers) and unstamped booklet. The pen has never been inked and is presented in wonderful condition - the F sticker, denoting a fine nib, remains on the cone. Only 16000 were produced and this is number 15245.
Every year Montblanc honour a great literary figure, as part of their Writers Edition series. In 2008 it was George Bernard Shaw, the Irish freethinker. The set is inspired by the character Eliza Doolittle from his most famous play Pygmalion. Just as Eliza, a poor flower girl, is brought up to be an aristocratic lady, so the platinum trim on the pen is replaced more and more towards the cap by the opulent dark green of the precious resin.
The beautiful deep marbled green represents the lush fields that Shaw left behind in Ireland. This is one of the most eye-catching of all the Writers Editions and will be a fine addition to any collection.
The pen is fitted with an 18k fine nib and it's a piston filler, so your choice here is bottled ink.
The important details are as follows...
- Fine Nib
- Montblanc Presentation Box
- Wonderful Condition
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.
