Dostoevsky Limited Edition Ballpoint Pen, No. 6832 of only 8,000 produced worldwide. Presented in New, Mint Condition, this beautiful example comes complete with its original Montblanc inner and outer boxes, International Service Certificate, and original literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1997 Montblanc F. Dostoevsky Writers Series pays tribute to one of the most influential literary figures of the 19th and 20th centuries. Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, author of Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot, and The Gambler, was renowned for exploring the complexities of the human condition. Montblanc translated that literary legacy into one of its most distinctive early Writers Series designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dostoevsky is beautifully executed in black precious resin, complemented by elegant gold-plated trim. The cap band and barrel feature intricate ornamentation inspired by the Russian Empire era, giving the pen a particularly refined and historic character. The cap bears Dostoevsky's engraved signature, while the distinctive Montblanc white star crowns the top of the cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most captivating details is the gold-plated clip with its domed sapphire-colored stone, providing a subtle flash of color against the black resin and warm gold trim. It is a wonderful design detail that immediately distinguishes the Dostoevsky from a standard Montblanc writing instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular example is Limited Edition No. 6832\/8000 and is stamped on the left side of the cap, individually numbered as one of only 8,000 Dostoevsky ballpoint pens produced worldwide. The limited production, combined with the fact that Montblanc's Writers Series editions were produced for a single year before moving on to the next literary figure, gives these early editions considerable appeal among Montblanc collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ballpoint measures approximately 5 1\/2 inches in length and weighs approximately 0.86 ounces, providing the classic proportions and comfortable balance expected from a Montblanc writing instrument. The twist mechanism operates properly, and the pen comes fitted with a working black refill, making it ready for immediate use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is exceptional. The black precious resin and gold-plated trim remain beautifully preserved, with no cracks, chips, dents, scratches, or repairs. There are no monograms, engravings, or personalizations. This is a New, Mint Condition example that has been carefully preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompleting this offering are the original Montblanc inner presentation box, outer storage box, International Service Certificate, and original literature, making this a particularly desirable complete example for the collector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 1997 Montblanc F. Dostoevsky Writers Series Ballpoint is an especially attractive combination of literature, history, and Montblanc design. With its Russian Imperial-inspired ornamentation, Dostoevsky signature, sapphire-colored clip stone, black precious resin, gold-plated trims, and individually numbered production of only 8,000 pieces, it remains one of the more memorable early Writers Series editions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI would confidently classify this 1997 Montblanc F. Dostoevsky Ballpoint Pen as New, Mint Condition, complete with its original presentation materials and documentation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique Digger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49268859994420,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1862\/4123\/files\/1997MontblancWritersSeriesDostoevskyLimitedEdition6832of8000BallpointPen1.jpg?v=1787784719","url":"https:\/\/antiquedigger.com\/products\/1997-montblanc-writers-series-dostoevsky-limited-edition-6832-80000-ballpoint-pen-mint","provider":"Antique Digger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
