The tenth Montblanc Writers Edition pays special tribute to the American writer Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
In 1992, Montblanc launched the "Writers' Series", a now very successful collection of writing instruments. The first pen in this collection was Hemingway's pen. Coincidence or not, the tenth and last issue of this series, like Hemingway, is named after one of the most important writers of the "lost generation", Scott Fitzgerald.
The first thing you notice is the torpedo shape of the feathers and the white marble body. Perhaps most striking are the increasingly wide rings around the cap and tip of the pen, a typical element of the Art Deco style. These silver-plated rings, together with the low-set clip, contrast perfectly with the deep black base colour of the cap and pen tip. The cap features the silver-plated signature of F. Scott Fitzgerald. The nib is made of 18-karat gold, rhodium-plated and elegantly engraved in Art Deco style.
The nib is only available in F. In addition, as with the previous author's editions, the nib is marked with the Montblanc height - 4810 metres - and the year of issue. The limited edition of the collection includes 18,500 fountain pens.
