Can Anyone Identify This Sterling Montblanc?

Recommended Posts

Thanks in advance for any help! I am hopeful that someone can identify this Montblanc fountain pen.

 

Barrel & Cap are both sterling silver (hallmarked) in a twisted decagonal form with gold plated lattice bands and black resin caps

Gold plated clip is set with a cabochon gem, maybe a Ruby?

Nib is bi-tone but not marked for quality of gold, and has a compass/cruciform with letters RIKS or KRIS some other combo of those letters

Cap has etched numbers 0727 over 4810

Underside of the clip reads "GERMANY" and "PIX"

Cap on, measures about 5.5"

You’ve got a Karl de Grosse Charlemagne Patron of Arts with a nice nib. Can’t tell from the angle of the picture, but it might be an OBB. Should be a lovely writer.

GP is spot on. That nice, wide nib is fairly uncommon. I hope you are able to enjoy the pen. I'd like a nib like that.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

If I may ask, what would the value be of such a pen new or used? I'm guessing over $3k.

 

There are a few results on LiveAuctioneers with the pen selling on average between $1-2k, but Ebay tends to get better results in my experience.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
