Montblanc Meisterstuck “Tribute to Mont Blanc” Classique Rollerball

SOLD

For Sale: Tribute to Mont Blanc Classique Rollerball (US Only)

Absolutely stunning, near mint-condition, limited edition Montblanc Meisterstuck “Tribute to Mont Blanc” rollerball pen in Classique size.

Although it has the same silhouette as a standard 163, I’m amazed by how much better the build quality is. You can literally feel how much more substantial and weighted the pen is in your hand.

Released in 2010 and inspired by the mountains in Montblanc’s namesake - Mont Blanc is the highest peak in Europe.

Pure-white lacquer

Platinum-coated

Star emblem made of snow quartz

Front of pen (under cap) is engraved with a panorama of the Mont Blanc mountain range.

Comes with brand new, unopened MB rollerball refill and original box (but no papers/documents)

Pelikan P50 Goya

Released in the late 1980s when thin pens were all the rage, this P50 has a pretty cool green and brown marbled lacquer over brass body. It doesn’t come with a cartridge converter because it was designed to be able to easily fit two international cartridges in the body (one as a spare). I’ve never tried to put a cartridge converter in it but I hear it can take them. Out of all the fountain pens I own, this is easily the most consistent writer when it comes to cartridges. While my other pens will hard start or skip when cartridges are involved, this one has never let me down. Uncap and write and it just goes.

Gold covered steel nib that’s marked as Medium (M) but it writes very much like a Fine (Fine).

Condition: B-/C+

Price: Open to offers. $125 $110 $100 shipped but negotiable (comes with original Pelikan box marked Triari)

Long shot but looking for a replacement nib for my Waterman Gentleman after breaking mine.

If it’s the nib unit, might consider that too if it’s in black or blue.

Or if you just have a really beat up Waterman Gentleman that is rated Condition D or for parts.

Please let me know!
