Hoping for any help in finding out about this.

 

Git it some time ago, and all I know is it's a Monte Rosa,has - I think - Minte a Rosa etched on the cap, no cracks, nib says Monte Rosa, and on the end piece there's a dot( white?) and numbers which may be 0486.

 

When I got it, the nib was a wee bit scratchy, and I tried to smooth a little, but left iy when I didn't seem to be making any progress, and didn't want to do damadpge. I'm pretty certain that a nib eister could have iy up and rock and rollin' in no time at all :)

 

Anyway.....could anyone let me know what model it is? Have enclosed pictures as best ?I cab( eyes bad just now.)

 

Thanks

Alex

 

PS I'm hoping to sell it....if there's anyone here who would like to give it a new home, that would be great....eBay is a hassle and my concentration isn't great. I'd much rather just a straightforward private sale. And please excuse me if its cheeky saying that here. I have no idea how much it's worth, nor ant memory of what ?I paid for it( again with the health stuff.....stroke affected memory)post-110936-0-10310300-1466498503_thumb.jpegpost-110936-0-53266600-1466498537_thumb.jpegpost-110936-0-45417900-1466498663_thumb.jpegpost-110936-0-69809000-1466498692_thumb.jpegpost-110936-0-81190900-1466498720_thumb.jpegpost-110936-0-20085500-1466498759_thumb.jpegpost-110936-0-53430700-1466498815_thumb.jpeg

I have no idea how much it's worth....

 

 

Put it this way. New in box examples are not uncommon, and go for about US$100 in the states.

It came in two versions, 042 (gold plate nib), and 042g (14k nib).

 

Best regards.

Not every "Monte Rosa" was made by or for Montblanc. There also was an independent Swiss company with the name "Monte Rosa" which produced fountain pens too. But this is pen is a real Montblanc school pen.

 

I don't think that you should expect more than £ 35 to £ 40 for it.

      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
