I would be very grateful for the help and expertise of the members of this forum. We have just inherited a fountain pen from my mother's estate. She was gifted it by her boss around ten years ago. On doing some homework we believe it to be the 2005 Pope Julius II (4180) which was issued to Patrons of the Arts by Mount Blanc. The issue is that this pen appears to be silver (with a reddish brown lacquer) and a silver nib. However I can't find this particular pen on-line anywhere, only the gold one. This pen does have precious stones around the top and on the clip too. Can you point me in the right direction as to how we can correctly identify this particular pen and get an approximate valuation. Thank you for your help!

Famed neurologist Dr. Oliver Sacks passed away this week. After reading his book "Uncle Tungsten" I wrote him to say how much I enjoyed it, and how the section where he talks about his memories of the pens his mother used resonated with me. He was kind enough to write back where he explains that he too is a pen lover, and still hand writes all his manuscripts with pen. I thought you may enjoy reading his letter. Bart
