Montblanc Azurite Blue

Thank you for showing - nice find :-)

By now I have learned that the material is not celluloid but rather casein.

Cheers

Really? That azurite is casein? Where did you learn that? I always thought it’s celluloid!

[Michael R.]

Softens in water, does not dissolve in acetone, feels different, smells different.

 

Also the original ad states that it is not made from celluloid ;-)

BTW who was the restorer? He really knew how to bring that pen to life.
