This is a valuable discontinued item, manufactured around 1998-2001. It's a stylish ballpoint pen perfect for casual use. It's in very clean condition. Of course, there are no cracks, chips, malfunctions, or engraved names. It is capable of writing. It uses a twist mechanism. Many fakes and broken Montblanc pens are circulating, but rest assured, this one has been authenticated and its functionality has been confirmed. In the unlikely event that it is a fake, a full refund (including shipping costs) will be provided. Please note that this listing is for the pen body only. If you would like a box, please let me know. The box in the first image (may be sold out) is available for 2500 yen. A different Montblanc box is available for 1500 yen. Also, for an additional 500 yen, I can ship via Takkyubin Compact.
