For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Near Mint 1996 Writers Series Montblanc Alexandre Dumas Fountain Pen Limited Edition 17018/20000. This is the Alexandre Dumas Fountain Pen with the correct signature version that was made later on in the production cycle. The incorrect signature type was made earlier in the production cycle and had the son's name inscribed on the cap.

Alexandre Dumas was one of the most important novelists and playwrights of the 19th century. He knew better than anyone how to combine effective dialogue, dramatic tension, and lucid description in gripping stories. His intellectually stimulating and ambitious works still captivate a large readership all over the world – Dumas wrote nearly 300 novels, including such world-renowned classics as “The Three Musketeers” and “The Count of Monte Cristo”.

The design of the pen incorporates subtle references to his works including a clip in the form of a sword and the cap ring adorned with a French lily. One thing neat about this piece is that the fountain pen comes with a huge nib (the same size as on the 149 Diplomat size pens), larger than all the other Writer Series nibs (except the Hemingway.)

This Alexandre Dumas is a limited edition number, "17018/20000".

The cap and barrel are in perfect condition with no cracks, nicks, or repairs. The cap is always securing tightly to the barrel. The gold-plated trim is excellent and has been polished to shine brightly. The fountain pen measures 5 3/8" capped and 6 3/8" posted.

This Montblanc fountain pen uses a piston filling system I have tested with water and works as it was designed to. I have taken apart the piston to clean and grease it along with cleaning the inside of the barrel. The piston works as it should and smoothly.

The 18-karat, rhodium-plate nib has a Fleur-de-lis motif and is marked. "4810, 18K/750, Montblanc Logo, 1996, MONTBLANC". This nib is designated as a MEDIUM and the point measures .88mm when using digital calipers.

This Dumas fountain pen does not come in the original box.

This Montblanc Alexandre Dumas Fountain Pen is a very stunning writing instrument crafted in Germany. I would consider this Montblanc Limited Edition Fountain Pen is in Near Mint to Mint Condition. The correct "Alexandre Dumas" signature really makes this fountain pen correct and proper for the discerning collector. This will be a marvelous addition to your Montblanc Writers Series arsenal collection.
