Hi there, got lots of great vintage Pelikan and Montblanc to sell. All have fully smooth, working pistons and write/fill nicely.
Bump, 15% off listed price on everything
Please read before buying!!
- I have pointed out the flaws of each pen to the best of my knowledge. I have a generous return policy outlined below, but you should know that these are vintage pens.
- Caveats of buying vintage:
- All have the usual microscratches from usage. You can polish them out, but I'll leave that up to you. Major scratches or cracks, I have tried my best to point out.
- Avoid posting the cap: Personally, I post mine anyway (very gently!!) , but know that this risks cracking the cap. Cracks as a result of posting the cap will void the return policy completely
- Gold trim wear: I've tried to take representative pictures and give representative descriptions. Gold trim on these is rarely excellent; would go as far to say rarely even "good." If flaws on gold trim irk you, I would say that affordable vintage
pens won't be your cuppa. Mint ones would be a good deal more expensive than the ones I have listed here
- Flex: I've shown what I consider to be "safe" flexing in the writing samples. Don't be fooled by listings out there where the nibs have been over-pushed to exaggerate the flexibility.
Sprung nibs from over-flexing will also void the return policy completely.
- THESE ARE AWESOME NIBS !! Nothing modern compares. :D

Montblanc 34
$80
14C B/BB stubbish nib
Like the next pen, these were made to be super smooth, so not much flex.
Has a crack in the cap, but if you don't post it, should be fine.
Heavily worn clip, but can be polished to as shiny as brass will get.
Great affordable start to a vintage Montblanc collection

Montblanc 14
$175
18C EF/F nib
These were made to be super smooth, so not much flex.
Excellent overall, little or no gold trim wear. B
Great writer and the last really "vintage" generation of the true Masterpiece/Meisterstuck Montblanc's
