Condition and information:
Extremely rare Montblanc pen, model 246 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, therefor 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 40's and very early 50's 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 product 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, one of their flagship pens and a very 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 absolute mint condition, nearly impossible to find in this shape, no scratches, no dings, no chips, no cracks, no bite marks, no gold ware off, perfect condition. The pen is one of the rare Montblanc push buttons with bladder/sac. These are such and easy to maintain pens, that everybody can open it, clean and even replace the sac. The sac had been replaced so it will work like a charm for the next 20 years. The push bar is very responsive and precise, fills the pen to its optimum capacity. The nib is elongated, size 4 by old measurements, one of the biggest nibs next to size 6 and size 9 used on 149. The tip is F size by today's standards. However the real star of the show is the nib. A fully flexible nib which simply melts on the paper, a true joy to write with, feels almost as a paint brush. This nib will produce all bigger/thicker line size with little to no pressure, up to BBB on down strokes and other lines depending on the way its held and used. It is smooth, does not scratch and its suspended on an ebobite 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. Nothing compares to these old Montblanc pens, they embody everything a fountain should be and how it should preform, a pure writing joy.
