The 2014 Montblanc Writers Edition Daniel Defoe fountain pen celebrates the literary genius behind Robinson Crusoe. This masterfully crafted writing instrument blends 18th-century nautical inspiration with Montblanc’s legendary precision, making it an essential centerpiece for any serious pen collector or literary enthusiast.
The Silhouette: The pen features a unique, bulbous barrel shape inspired by the wooden oar Robinson Crusoe used in his desperate attempt to escape his island.
Materials: Crafted from dark brown-black precious resin, the body boasts a subtle wood-grain texture and intricate engravings reminiscent of traditional book bindings of the Enlightenment era.
The Parrot Clip: The ruthenium-plated clip is elegantly shaped like a feather, a direct nod to "Poll," Crusoe’s loyal parrot.
18K Gold Nib: The heart of the pen is a ruthenium-plated 18K gold nib, intricately engraved with a portrait of the famous parrot. The nib is medium width, the factory sticker to confirm this is present.
Limited Edition: One of only 10,000 fountain pens produced globally. The individual edition number is engraved on the cap alongside Daniel Defoe’s signature.
Piston Filling System: Features Montblanc’s iconic integrated piston mechanism for use with bottled ink which works correctly.
Condition: This is a pre-owned pen and shows some signs of use but is generally in good condition.
Provenance: Includes outer box cover, original book-style presentation box and documentation. The number engraved on the pen matches the number on the dealer stamp in the booklet (not pictured but will be supplied with the pen) and the number on the original Montblanc stock sticker on the outer box.
