Montblanc - Masterpiece 642 - Fountain pen

The Montblanc 642 fountain pen shown in this lot is in a very notable state of preservation, with an overall elegant and well-preserved appearance, typical of an instrument that has been cared for over time. The gold-plated cap, with its characteristic vertical striped finish, retains a deep and uniform shine. The surface maintains its original luster very well, showing only light micro-scratches from surface use, normal in a vintage piece, with no visible loss of plating or notable dents. The clip is straight, firm, and correctly aligned, maintaining its original tension. The black resin barrel presents an equally very clean look, with a deep polish that reflects light well. Fine micro marks from use are visible, typical of the passage of time, but there are no cracks, deformations, or structural damages. The engravings of the model “642” and the “M” mark on the rear of the body remain crisp and perfectly readable. The Montblanc emblem on the top of the cap is in very good condition, with well-defined outlines and no appreciable material loss. The 14C Montblanc gold nib, engraved with the classic mountain motif and the inscriptions “14C – Montblanc – 585”, remains visually in good condition, although the bi-color has worn. The tines are properly aligned and the iridium point shows good integrity. The ebonite feed shows a clean and well-preserved state. The pen has been inspected and tested, ensuring proper writing functionality. Taken together, this is a very well-preserved specimen, with a highly attractive aesthetic presence and with discreet signs of use consistent with its age.
