MONTBLANC SKELETON STAR-year 2001

The next version of the Skeleton Demonstrators is what might be called the bargain model, the 333 Demonstrator. The MB skeleton star is a tribute, true to the last detail, to this first-ever skeletonised fountain pen. It is the only skeleton pen which is not made of solid gold.

MONTBLANC JOHN HARRISON-year 2003

This pen commemorates the inventor of the marine chronometer -- essentially the man who made it possible to accurately navigate at sea. Taking this theme, the Harrison Skeleton depicts a map of the world in 18K gold covering both the cap and barrel.

Those MBs easily blow Montegrappa and Omas limited editions in terms of craftsmanship.

Hello Axel,

Indeed a fantastic collection. The MB skeleton pens are my favorities. They are really pieces of art. They are by far the best pens available in the market nowadays. By the way, I was wondering which is heavier MB skeleton 75th anniversary of the MB Magical Black Widow?

Best regards

Ahh, I'd never seen it from that angle. I'd have recognized it if I'd seen the figure on the pen.

That first 149 skeleton does cast somewhat of a shadow on the others... it doesn't look like it is in the same league to me.
