Product Description
Type Vintage ballpoint pen.
Product Name Clip Click 28
Manufacturer and Year Montblanc, Germany -- 1974-77
Length 5-1/16"
Filling System It has a lever actuated system to extend and retract the tip. The lever is in the clip. Move the little tab down the clip and it extends the tip. Move it up the clip and the tip retracts.
The pen originally required Montblanc Giant ballpoint pen refills. They are no longer manufactured. When the refill was being phased out of usage, adapters were produced to allow current Montblanc ballpoint refills to work. The refill included with the pen has such an adapter, so you will need to retain this adapter and transfer it to a new refill-- don't throw it away! Th refill currently installed is dry and does not work. (You'll need to stick with Montblanc-made refills, as the adapter may not fit refills made by other maufacturers that they claim to be compatible. We found Monteverde refills don't allow the adapter to snap fully into place and so the tip doesn't retract completely. We are including a new Monteverde refill in a tube, and we left the dried up Montblanc refill installed in the pen. AGAIN, DON'T LOSE THE ADAPTER, BECAUSE IF YOU NEED TO RETURN THE PEN TO US WE CAN'T GIVE YOU A REFUND IF YOU DON'T RETURN IT WITH THE ADAPTER.)
Color The cap and barrel are black. The trim is gold plated. The Montblanc emblem is in the top of the cap.
Condition Very nice condition. The lever actuated system to extend and retract the tip works well. The pen has moderate to heavy scratching throughout with the heaviest scratching on the barrel. The clip looks very good. The cap band has some wear. No cracks, chips, dings, or dents. The imprints are clear.
