Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this 1994 Writers Series Montblanc Oscar Wilde Limited Edition Fountain Pen with 18K Medium Nib. This pen does come with any boxes but no literature. This Oscar Wilde fountain pen has been cleaned internally, polished, and back in great writing condition.

Oscar Wilde once said, "I have simple tastes; I am always satisfied with the best." Every pen in the Writers Edition created in his honor reflects this sentiment. The barrel is unconventionally decorated with many details that hint at Wilde's passionate spirit. The clip and mountings are made of gold-plated 925 sterling silver, and the cap features an engraved signature of the author. The handcrafted 18-karat gold nib is highly detailed and engraved in the style of Wilde's era, completing this exceptional tribute to an extraordinary person.

The cap is adorned with Sterling Vermeil fittings and clip (marked on top of the clip shown in image 8), all have been polished to shine brightly again. The upper left side of the cap is stamped with the limited edition number 00407/20000. The right side of the cap is engraved with Oscar Wilde's signature. The cap and barrel are in perfect condition with no cracks, nicks, or repairs. The cap is always securing tightly to the barrel. The fountain pen measures 5 3/4" capped and 6 5/8" posted.

This Montblanc fountain pen uses a piston filling system and I have tested it with water and works as it was designed to. I cleaned the inside of the barrel and greased the piston for smooth operation. 

The 18K Nib is marked with, "4810, 1994, 18K/750, Montblanc, and the Montblanc Logo". This nib is designated as a MEDIUM and the point measures .84mm when using digital calipers. When creating a writing sample, the NIB writes with a very smooth fine to a broad stroke/line. The writing sample provided in the image has the fine stroke measuring at .52mm and flexes up to a broad stroke at 1.08mm with medium to firm pressure when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Blue Ink. Again, it is a spectacularly smooth writing nib!

Oscar Wilde was a prominent figure in London society at the end of the 19th century due to his unique views on society, his advocacy for aesthetic and moral freedom, and his rejection of convention. Despite facing criticism for his decadent lifestyle, Wilde left a lasting legacy through his influential works, including essays, poems, and plays like “The Picture of Dorian Gray” and “The Canterville Ghost”.

This Oscar Wilde Montblanc Writer's Edition Fountain Pen comes with boxes. The boxes were meant for the 3 piece set. The fountain pen is the only writing instrument that will accompany the boxes. The other pen and pencil are no longer with this set.

This Montblanc Oscar Wilde Fountain Pen is a very stunning writing instrument crafted in Germany. I would consider this Montblanc Limited Edition Fountain Pen in Excellent to Near Mint Condition. The pen has been inked and displays very little wear. This will be a fabulous writer for someone who appreciates the Writer's Series collection and loves the smooth writing nib of this pen.
