Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this circa 2004 Montegrappa Miya Yellow celluloid fountain pen fitted with an 18K medium nib. This fountain pen is in mint, never-inked condition. It is considered new old stock with all the original boxes and documentation/literature.

NOTE: This Montegrappa Miya should not be confused with the later Montegrappa Miya 450 or the Montegrappa Extra 1930 model. This Montegrappa is from 2004. The earlier models are quite rare and difficult to acquire. Some folks confuse the Miya with the Extra - the Miya is an Ink Converter/Cartridge Filler, whereas the Extra is a Piston filler. The Miya and the Miya 450 you will notice the difference in the cap banding where the Miya is open filigree and the Miya 450 is engraved.

The fountain pen is made from celluloid with sterling silver trim. The cap and barrel are in mint condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. The Sterling Silver trim has been polished brightly and is in perfect condition with no scratches, dings, dents, or repairs. The barrel and cap have the Yellow celluloid pattern, which is in perfect condition. The cap is always securing tightly to the barrel. The Sterling Cap Banding is marked with "MONTEGRAPPA 925 *1140MI" and "925" on the section. This fountain pen measures 5 5/16" inches capped and 5 7/8" inches posted. The pen weighs 1.31 ounces, which is a good weight in the hand.

The fountain pen uses an ink converter or ink cartridge filling system. I have tested the piston filler with water, and it works as it is designed. I have refrained from adding ink to the pen only because the pen has never been inked, and I wanted to keep it Mint for the next owner. The fountain pen come with te Montegrappa Ink converter and 3 Montegrappa Ink Cartridges.

The 18K Gold nib is designated "MEDIUM" and displays "18K/750, MONTEGRAPPA, M" on the nib. The iridium tipping measures .84mm when measured with digital calipers, which falls into the range of Medium that the nib is designated. This fountain pen has never been inked, and I wanted to leave it that way for the next collector.

This fountain pen comes in the original Montegrappa factory boxes and Literature/Documentation booklets. The vinyl covering on the inner box is starting to peal away in areas. 

The Montegrappa Miya Fountain Pen is a spectacular luxury writing instrument. These are well-made fountain pens from Celluloid, and bright Sterling trim which collectors covet. This is going to a be a Mint, Never Inked example for your writing arsenal collection!
