Found this item whilst browsing through eBay:

 

Must de Cartier eBay link

 

It caught my interest because I believe I have the matching rollerball pen in my possession - see photos below.

 

There are no markings on my pen indicating whether it is rolled gold, gold plated or gold filled although there is some kind of stamp on the top of the cap. Presumably my pen dates from a similar period but can anyone else tell me anything else about it?

It should be gold plated, the rings too. The one you spotted on ebay usually goes for 80-120€ on french ads sites.

Cartier are one well made pen and very underestimated in my opinion. I had a Cartier Dandy some years ago and it was a great pen in all departments.

Thanks for your help. I am quite impressed with the quality of the finish of my Cartier rollerball pen. Perhaps people are put off from buying Cartier by all the cheap fakes around?

 

Is my pen known as the Must II model? It looks similar to the one pictured in the eBay link below, although the finish is different...

go to in a cartier boutique and have it authenticated

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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
