The Montblanc 254 looks more like a modern pen than a vintage pen, but it likely is a vintage pen, as it was made in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Our pen is in excellent condition. No cracks or deep scratches. Just light wear from use. The piston filler is still smooth. You will write a nice extra-fine to fine line with its 14k gold nib. Click the headline for close-ups. Some gold paint still fills the cap imprint. 13cm capped.
