Montblanc Meisterstück Classique Bordeaux Ballpoint Pen

This is a Montblanc Meisterstück Classique ballpoint pen featuring the distinctive burgundy or 'Bordeaux' precious resin barrel and cap, a colorway that was discontinued by Montblanc in the early 2000s, making it a sought-after collector's item. The pen is accented with gold-coated trim, including three rings around the center—the largest of which is typically embossed with the 'Montblanc Meisterstück' lettering—and a gold-plated clip. The top of the cap is adorned with the iconic white Montblanc snowcap star emblem. Physically, the pen exhibits a streamlined, aerodynamic shape typical of the Classique line. The condition appears to be excellent with a high-luster finish on the resin and no immediate signs of deep scratching, brassing on the gold plating, or cracks. It is accompanied by a clear plastic cylindrical protective case with white end caps, used for safe storage and transport. The craftsmanship is evident in the seamless transition between materials and the precisely machined twist mechanism for the ballpoint tip. This model likely dates from the 1990s to the very early 2000s, representing a classic era of Montblanc manufacturing quality.
