Condition and information:
Flagship and probably one of the most rare 1960's Montblanc pen set, especially sets where all three pieces come together in their original box and papers, like a just discovered time capsule, NOS new old stock condition, one of the best Montblanc pens of 1960's. The quality is unique, materials are best there are. This highly processed plastic unlike other plastics, simply does not crack. It's very thick but also has some elasticity. This tiny elasticity makes it very hard to ding, so dropping the pens does not damage what so ever. The cap on the Fountain Pen and the upper bodies of the Ballpoint and the Mechanical pencil are solid steel, with a thick silver plating, deeply brushed, simply very heavy for good balance and protection, meant to last for generations. The silver plating is even applied to the inside of the bodies, meaning the pens cannot rust, or have any kind of damage what so ever. It is hard to believe that brushed silver can have such a shine and glow, no matter what light falls on the pens, they simply reflect. This brushed silver also does not leave fingertips or finger oil thus the pens always stay clean and shiny.

These models were produces only for 1 or 1.5 years, in 1969-1970. The pens are in perfect mint condition. The set comes in its original presentation box, still with the original plastic wraps for the pens and nib sticker. The set comes in a original carton box which is marked by the factory of the contents inside, also instructions for use and care.

Mechanical pencil is precise clicks and perfectly tuned mechanism, very heavy as 90% of the pencil is steel. Same goes for the Ballpoint, with the unique lever mechanism, Montblanc patented and also marketed as the "11th finger" system, as the pen will always turn it self off when hanged in to a pocket. The ballpoint's pen mechanism works perfectly as well.

The Fountain pen has a precise fit on cap with a very sharp "click" sound the closing the cap. The posting of the cap gives it a very very good writing balance, one rarely seen on the Fountain pen. The nib is solid 14K 585 white gold, very sharp true Extra Fine size, very smooth on the paper, simply a perfect writer with a decent semi-flex, it can write F or even M lines if gently pressed when writing. Piston is smooth, and takes a considerable amount of ink. Due to the brushed surface and heavy upper bodies all pens have a perfect grip, feel right in the hand and make for a very good writing balance. The white star is located on all pens, on the FP is located on top of cap and top of the turning knob. The box is a masterpiece it self, hard box genuine leather coated outside and silk inside, and also with stainless steel brushed frame, giving it very beautiful appeal. Highest quality, exceptionally rare, unique appeal, flagship Montblanc pens of the 60's!
