Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Restored Wartime Circa 1942 Montblanc 304 Black Hard Rubber Safety Eyedropper Fountain Pen. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and now is in fantastic writing condition.

I have ultrasonically cleaned the nib and feed. I hand-cleaned the hard rubber cap and barrel with mineral oil. I replaced the old cork with a new, properly sized one and the barrel is airtight now. I hand-polished the gold-filled clip and cap banding and the #4 Montblanc steel nib.

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition showing no chips, cracks, or repairs with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. The cap has a gold-filled clip that displays very minor wear. The gold-filled cap banding also displays just a hint of wear. The side of the cap has the heat-stamped Montblanc logo. The barrel imprint is nearly worn but one can make out, "SIMPLO" imprint. The top of the cap retains the snowcap logo. The turning knob securely fits and is stamped with, "304". This Montblanc 304 size measures 4 5/8" in length capped and 6 1/2" posted with the nib fully extended.

The Montblanc comes with the wartime steel  #4 stub nib. The nib iridium point is measuring roughly 1.35mm when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample provided in the image ranges from a fine medium stroke that measures .61mm on the horizontal lines to a double broad stroke of roughly 1.58mm with medium to firm pressure on the downward strokes when I measured with digital calipers. I can verify this Montblanc steel nib writes extremely smoothly, it will compete with he best of the 14K nibs out there. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Blue Ink.

This War-Time generation Montblanc Fountain Pen is increasingly difficult to secure with this type of NIB which makes this an excellent collector variant to add to one's writing arsenal collection. I would grade this Montblanc 304 in Fine to Very Fine Condition. Certainly, if you are a Montblanc collector this is one of those types of pens you will want for your collection that is amazing to write with.
