    Mont Blanc - which model is this?

    Can you help me finding a model number for this?

    Around the nib it's says 14ct 585
    And the gold rim says - 'Mont blanc classic - Germany'

    The outer box says 'Siena Lederetui' but I assume that refers to the leather box/pouch.

    It's around 17yrs old as bought for me as a leaving present. Just found it clearing a drawer out.

    If you Google the model number 30301 on the outer box, it appears that the outer box was originally for a leather pen pouch.

    I think it's a Mont Blanc Classic (not to be mistaken with the Meisterstuck Classique) in Bordeaux. 14kt nib.

    Cheers matt

    There are no series numbers or anything on the pen.

    Maybe , they bought me a duff?

    Hi Morrisey, it's not necessarily a duff. I don't have a Classic to hand to check, but I've got and handled lots of no-serial numbered Mont Blanc. A dedicated pen forum will likely be able to date your pen better than I can. Classic was and still is a decent pen, enjoy!

    PS I've just found an old Mont Blanc Noblese, which is a similar age to yours, no serial.

    Matt,

    Cheers for the reply, I don't think it's s duff either.

    Feels lovely, my daughter (although 12) loves calligraphy.

    My OCD just wants to silo it. Maybe I should relax

    If you truly had OCD, you'd know that Mont Blanc is a mountain. The pens are made by Montblanc.

    Try Vintage Fountain Pens: https://vintagefountainpens.co.uk/ I've bought from them before and they can value and service your pen too.

    As per one of Brian's suggestions (above) - I believe that may well be a Generation model.

    Take a look at a review here, for information, although the reviewed model has "Generation" stamped on the cap band -

    It looks like it may be a variation of these.


    Enjoy : )

    The box would suggest otherwise

    The box merely shows the logo. It does not show the name of the manufacturer.

    Still can't find the exact pen. The roller pencil one is £145 - so I'm tipping a bit north of that.

    Nights do some further research to see exactly what I have an pop it to trade in a month or so.
