For your consideration, we are pleased to offer for sale this exceptional 1993 Montblanc Writers Series Imperial Dragon Ballpoint Pen, Limited Edition No. 1054 of only 3,500 produced. This magnificent writing instrument is presented in Mint Condition and comes complete with its original inner and outer Montblanc boxes (everything you see in the images), International Service Certificate, International Reply Card, and Personal Service Card. The ballpoint is fitted with a working black refill and is ready to enjoy.
The Montblanc Imperial Dragon is one of the more distinctive and visually striking editions from Montblanc's early Writers Series. Drawing inspiration from the legendary dragon of Far Eastern mythology, Montblanc created an elegant writing instrument that combines the restrained sophistication of the Meisterstück design with beautifully executed dragon imagery and precious-metal appointments.
The centerpiece of the design is the Sterling Silver Dragon clip and cap detailing. The dragon displays remarkable character, while its two ruby-colored eyes provide a subtle but captivating touch of color. The sterling-silver appointments are hallmarked 925 and contrast beautifully against Montblanc's classic black precious resin.
This particular example is Limited Edition No. 1054/3500, and stamped on the left side of the cap, making it one of only 3,500 Imperial Dragon ballpoint pens produced worldwide. The individually numbered edition adds an important element of collectibility and distinguishes this pen from standard-production Montblanc writing instruments.
The condition is exceptional. The black precious resin cap and barrel remain free from cracks, chips, scratches, dents, or repairs. The sterling-silver trim is beautifully preserved, with only a light natural patina consistent with age and long-term storage. There are no monograms, engravings, or personalizations.
The ballpoint measures 5 1/2 inches in length and weighs 1.00 ounce, giving it a substantial yet comfortable presence in the hand. The twist mechanism operates properly, extending and retracting the refill smoothly, and the pen is fitted with a working black Montblanc refill.
Completing this exceptional offering is the original Montblanc presentation box, outer storage box, International Service Certificate, International Reply Card, and Personal Service Card. The inclusion of the original packaging and documentation makes this a particularly desirable example for the collector seeking a complete representation of the Imperial Dragon edition.
For generations, the dragon has represented power, wisdom, protection, and good fortune, particularly throughout East Asian culture. Montblanc's interpretation captures that symbolism in a remarkably elegant form, transforming the mythical creature into an integral part of the writing instrument rather than simply adding it as decoration.
The 1993 Montblanc Imperial Dragon remains a memorable example from the Writers Series, combining Montblanc's iconic black precious resin with sterling silver, ruby-colored dragon eyes, and individually numbered limited-edition production.
Limited Edition No. 1054/3500, Mint Condition, original boxes and documentation, and a working black refill—this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly distinctive early Montblanc Writers Series Imperial Dragon ballpoint pen and an excellent addition to a serious Montblanc or fine writing instrument collection.
I would confidently classify this Montblanc Imperial Dragon Ballpoint Pen as Mint Condition, exceptionally well preserved and complete with its original presentation materials and documentation.
