MONTBLANC Rare Vintage Classic Fountain Pen 3-42G

MONTBLANC Montblanc products, often featuring the iconic white star emblem on the cap or leather goods, are among the most beloved and high-end brands in fine writing instruments. This emblem symbolizes the snow-capped summit of Mont Blanc, Europe's highest peak at 4,810 meters, a number frequently referenced in Montblanc designs. Inspired by the pristine snows of the Swiss Alps, Montblanc embodies the spirit of reaching the pinnacle of success. In recent years, the brand has successfully expanded into accessories, becoming a leader in sophisticated men's lifestyle items. ◤ Produced around the 1950s, the piston filler area on the barrel is marked "3-42G" (where "G" in German signifies "Glanz," meaning "glossy" or "shiny"). The 14K nib is marked (please see photo for inscription details). The 14C Kugel nib exhibits a slight upward curve. Features a blue ink window. The first iteration of the 342 model had a relief emblem on the cap, rather than the white emblem. ◤ Materials: 14C Gold nib; Acrylic resin barrel. ◤ Dimensions: 12.5 cm (with cap). ◤ Weight: Approximately 16 g. ◤ Origin: Germany. ◤ Price: $20,000. ◤ Quantity: One of a kind (rare collector's item, in excellent condition). ※ The outer packaging box may show slight signs of wear or age, but this does not affect the item itself. Those who are particular about perfect packaging should refrain from purchasing. ※ Product colors may vary slightly due to computer monitor settings; actual product color is final. ※ These early vintage pieces are all unused new items. Slight darkening of metal components over time is a normal phenomenon due to aging and is a testament to their history. For buyers who demand absolute perfection, we recommend visiting our physical store for selection. Thank you.
