Condition and information:
Extremely rare Montblanc pen, model No.2 made in Denmark. Montblanc had a plant in Denmark since 1914 that produced the same instruments made in Germany, but also other models that were made in Denmark only, such as this one, therefore these are now one of the most collectible Montblanc pens as they were produced in much smaller numbers and short periods but also with unmatched quality. The plant was run by Mr. Alfred Oberg and Montblanc even kept it secret from 1933 till 1964 that they produced German pens in Denmark. Some years after WWII, the production of Montblanc pens in Denmark spiked and resulted with most of the Montblanc pens made in the late 40s and very early 50s being made in Denmark; one of the reasons was due to the post war restrictions on importing goods from Germany, so the Denmark plant exported Montblanc products to other countries, mainly Scandinavian.

This model was produced very briefly as most of the Denmark models were, (they were only produced in a duration of 1-2 years). This pen is one of the best pens of the Denmark production, very reliable, easy and pleasant to use writer. This pen is featured in number of Montblanc books and catalogs due to its reliability, features and design. The pen is in mint condition, nearly impossible to find in this shape, minimal signs of use. The pen is a push button with bladder/sac, easy to maintain, clean and even replace the sac. The sac had been replaced with new one. The push bar is very responsive and precise, fills the pen to its optimum capacity. The nib is size 2 by old measurements and is EF size at the tip. It is semi-flexible and will produce bigger/thicker line sizes up to BB with some gentle pressure, depending on the way its held and used. It is smooth and suspended on an ebonite feed with great ink flow. The feed is a low profile "ski-slope" shape, which allows a very low angle writing but also a great viewing space. Wonderful shiny crisp coral red color and crisp imprints, no discoloration. The Denmark models are becoming one of the most sought after Montblanc pens, and are truly one of the best Montblanc pens ever made. These pens embody everything a fountain should be and how it should preform, a pure writing joy.
