Product Description
Type Fountain pen
Product Name Montparnasse, mid-size
Manufacturer and Year S T Dupont, Paris -- late 1980s.
Length 5-3/8"
Filling System Parker-style cartridge or converter filled. A Parker converter is installed. The section/nib is internal, and released by a latch on the end of the barrel. Lift the little latch and turn it counter clockwise; this releases the section and allows access to the converter.
Color Silver-plated in a lined pattern. There are no hallmarks, so it's probably not solid sterling. We're guessing it is silver-plated or palladium. Gold-plated trim with a black lacquer inset on the clip. The serial number 55JAD06 is stamped on the clip.
Nib 18k Medium nib. When the section is unscrewed, just above the threads it is labeled M for medium. It's smooth and looks good.
Condition Excellent + condition. No dents or dings. The pen is smooth and shiny, but there are small hints of wear at the end of the barrel, as well as on the gold-plated barrel ring. The imprints are sharp. No box or paperwork.
