Please Help Identify A Mb Mechanical Pencil

[T-Jo]

Hello! Can anyone help me identify and date a MB mechanical pencil? (Or at least presume is genuine MB)

 

The color is black and pearl. Numbers on the pencils "body" are 481237 and there are also letters D.R.P. Near the pencils clip is another inscription L53.

Two friends and I looked for a similar vintage Montblanc pencil, crayon, bleistift.

We found one grey hexagonal barrel pencil with Montblanc D.R.P. 481237.

It was superficially different but had a moderately similar tip.

I hope that you'll be able to obtain a definitive identification.

T-jo, it´s a black and pearl marbled L53, made between 1932-1936 (according to "collectible stars 1"), a nice pencil.

And the D.R.P. stands for "Deutsches Reichs Patent" and the # 481237 ist the register number of the patent for a propelling pencil.

The Fountain Pen Network Montblanc Forum is a helpful place.

Thanks to both farmdogfan and penparadise it's now clear what your pencil is.

We all learn from this, to better understand vintage Montblanc pencils.

I hope that you'll enjoy using your venerable precious pencil.

Happy Writing!
