This particular fountain pen is Limited Edition number 1215 out of 4810 and remains in Mint condition. This fountain pen is fitted with its original 18K\/750 Fine nib measuring approximately .56mm at the tipping when measured with digital calipers. This example comes complete with the original Montblanc lacquered wooden presentation box, outer factory boxes, Montblanc literature, International Service Certificate, and original protective plastic sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Montblanc Patron of the Art Series was created to honor important historical patrons of the arts, and The Prince Regent edition pays tribute to George, Prince Regent, who served as Prince Regent of the United Kingdom from 1811 until 1820 before becoming King George IV. His passion for architecture, decorative arts, fashion, music, and culture helped shape the distinctive aesthetic of the Regency Period. Montblanc captured that influence beautifully in this writing instrument through its elaborate fretwork, crown motif, deep blue precious resin, and vermeil sterling silver construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap and barrel are beautifully preserved with no cracks, nicks, dings, dents, wear, or repairs. The cap always secures tightly to the barrel, and there are no monograms or personalizations anywhere on the fountain pen. The deep blue precious resin remains rich and vibrant, while the 925 sterling silver vermeil overlay has been carefully polished and retains a beautiful, bright appearance. The intricate fretwork surrounding the barrel and cap provides a striking contrast against the blue resin and gives this fountain pen a very distinctive and elegant appearance. The crown motif on the top of the cap is a particularly fitting detail for an edition honoring the Prince Regent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap is stamped on the left side with \"MONTBLANC GERMANY 2038\/4810, 925, StØD,\" along with the appropriate sterling silver balance-scale and duck hallmarks. The fountain pen measures approximately 5 5\/8\" capped, 6 3\/8\" posted, and weighs 1.55 ounces. This is Limited Edition number 1215 out of 4810, and the production number is beautifully preserved on the cap. There are no personalizations or monograms to either the cap or barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Montblanc The Prince Regent utilizes Montblanc's traditional piston filling system, which I have tested with water and found to work exactly as designed. I have removed the piston and properly lubricated the mechanism so that it operates smoothly. This fountain pen retains the desirable brass piston mechanism. There were no signs of ink inside the barrel or on the nib, and the filling system showed no evidence of previous use. I have intentionally not inked or dip tested this fountain pen so that it can remain in its original New Old Stock, Never Inked condition for its next owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fountain pen features its original 18K\/750 Fine nib, measuring approximately .56mm at the tipping when measured with digital calipers. The nib is beautifully engraved with an insignia inspired by the British monarchy and the Regency Period. The nib is stamped \"4810, 18K\/750, Montblanc Logo, 1995, and MONTBLANC.\" I have never inked or dip tested the nib, again specifically to preserve the New Old Stock, Mint, Never Inked condition of this fountain pen for the collector who ultimately acquires it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccompanying this fountain pen are the original Montblanc lacquered wooden presentation box, original outer factory boxes, Montblanc International Service Certificate, original Montblanc literature\/booklet, and the original protective plastic sleeve. The complete presentation is exceptionally well preserved, with the boxes, literature, certificate, and accessories all remaining in excellent condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Prince Regent edition is a wonderful representation of the early Patron of the Art Series, combining Montblanc's craftsmanship with a subject deeply connected to the history of British art and culture. The elaborate sterling silver vermeil overlay, deep blue precious resin, crown detail, and beautifully engraved 18K gold nib create a fountain pen that is both an exceptional writing instrument and a small piece of decorative art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI consider this Montblanc The Prince Regent to be in Never Inked, Mint condition. The fountain pen displays no signs of use, and the original finish, vermeil overlay, nib, trim, filling system, boxes, and accompanying documentation have all been exceptionally well preserved. With its Limited Edition number 1215\/4810, complete original presentation, brass piston mechanism, and untouched 18K Fine nib, this is a wonderful example for the Montblanc collector who appreciates the Patron of the Art Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Montblanc The Prince Regent is a spectacular writing instrument that was crafted in Germany and represents an important early chapter in Montblanc's Patron of the Art collection. It has never been inked, displays no wear, and is ready to become a fabulous writer for someone who appreciates the history behind the Patron of the Art Series and enjoys the distinctive feel and beauty of sterling silver vermeil in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique Digger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49285346197812,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1862\/4123\/files\/1995MontblancPatronOfArtsPrinceRegentLimitedEdition1215-4810FountainPen1.jpg?v=1789145751","url":"https:\/\/antiquedigger.com\/products\/1995-montblanc-prince-regent-patron-of-the-art-limited-ed-1215-4810-fountain-pen-never-inked","provider":"Antique Digger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
