Netherlands Dutch Gold Hallmark On A Montblanc?

[gusto]

 

Has anyone seen a Dutch Netherlands 18 carat (750) gold hallmark on a recently made solid gold Montblanc pen?

 

 

I am used to seeing the 750, STOD, and the two smaller stamps on solid gold examples online.

 

 

I am also familiar with the similar vermeil and silver hallmarks (Ag 925, STOD, and two smaller stamps) on two Montblanc pens I own (75th pinstripe, and a vermeil).

 

 

However, the example I am considering has STOD and Au 750, but instead of the two smaller stamps I see a larger stamped rectangular box, with cropped corners, with a rose and the number 750 inside, as depicted in the links below [kleine voorperwen (small articles) 750 gold].

 

 

Has Montblanc recently changed their gold hallmarking?

 

 

Please advise. Thanks!

The latest mark is Au750. Au is the gold hallmark. There are several other threads about it.

Hi,

 

Do you have a picture of the pen / nib?

Thanks, I see threads on nib hallmarking, but not so many on solid gold pen cap hallmarks.

 

There appears to be a Dutch/Netherlands 18 karat stamp on the cap of a Montblanc pen, that is approximately the size of the STOD oval, that appears below STOD and below the Au 750 stamp.

 

It is a stamped rectangle, with cropped corners and has a rose and the number "750" inside.

 

I have never seen this before on a Montblanc solid gold pen.

 

Picture attached. Please advise. Thanks!

yes they changed / added the hallmark supplier, I would say 6 years ago. It is a tulip with 750, for 18kt gold.

 

kind regards

It's now a perfectly normal gold hallmark
