Hello - I have inherited Mont Blanc Noblese Slimline from my father's estate. At least that's what I think it is. Can anyone confirm that is what the model is and what it might be worth on the used market? My father would have purchased it new in the early 80's and it has rarely (if ever) been used.
I want to sell it but need to know more about the model and value. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

This is indeed an early-80's Noblesse, a cartridge/converter filler. The clip style (with the plastic button with a white star on it) is that of the end of the 70s/beginning of the 80s. There were many variations of color; it looks like the one pictured is in black matte with chrome trim.
In general, the Noblesse/SL/Slimline pens (all three names were used in different markets) are all-metal including the section, with plain stainless, black or colored finishes, steel nibs (flat and folded over on the sides). They're quite durable, basic pens, and were often sold in sets with ballpoint and sometimes ballpoint and pencil.
If it has the steel nib, it's worth about $70-85.

Thank you for the info - just what I was looking for. The nib does look like gold but must be gold plated because there is no marking on it other than "Mont Blanc".

I have one of these pens that I won in a lot on eBay. Mine is a burgundy colour with a gold coloured nib and is a nice writer, but the pen itself is a little skinny for my hands.
Here is a thread where mine was also identified as a Noblesse/Slimline/SL.
