I thought it might be fun to look at some examples of Montegrappa guilloché over the last few decades and to start with the pattern from the 302s and 402s. In this picture the 302 is above a Sheaffer Targa,
The difference between the 302 or 402 is that the 402 series had vermeil furniture, end caps, banding, clips and sections.
The Reminiscence series used a Greek key on the octagonal line and a wavelike form on the round model.
For the second round Reminiscence series Montegrappa returned to an angular herringbone pattern and renamed the pen "Heritage".
The early Eleganza and Privilege pens continued to use the Greek key design ...
... but with the Privilege Deco they went with a complex Art Deco pattern.
