The Montblanc two-digit model number pens were replaced in 1968 with the Classic line-up. The pens reverted back to a three-digit numbering system. The pens were offered in Matt Gold, Matt Silver, Matt Black, Polished Black, Grey, Red (Burgundy), Green and Stainless Steel. The pens were offered in just one size. Pens produced from 1968 through 1973 used the initial feed design which utilized a hole for airflow. In 1974, the feed was redseign and the hole was deleted. This feed remained in production through the end of the line in 1979.
The No. 221 is in the Medium Range tier. The pen features an 14k Gold nib. The pen is in (B) Very Good condition. There is a name engraved on the grip section. This is an early transition No 221. It retains the butterfly nib of the No 22/24, but has the No 221 on the cap. The cap and sections are not interchangeable between the 22 and the 221. We have seen a few examples of this transition model. The three digit series did away with the smaller No. 22. This pen is similar in size to the No. 24. Nice piece of Montblanc history that is less common than its No. 24 and No. 221 siblings.
This pen has been serviced by our pen repair team. The piston unit has been lubricated to Montblanc specs to ensure proper filling action. Serviced pens come with a 90-Day Warranty against any workmanship defects.
