Period
1996
The Montblanc Alexandre Dumas (Fils) fountain pen is a distinguished limited edition writing instrument from the company's 1996 Writers Series. This piece is part of a limited production run of 20,000 units, with this specific pen marked 7,340.
The design is notable for utilizing the large 149-size nib, a feature shared with only two other pens in the Writers Series line. The pen is equipped with a medium 18K two-tone nib and features a reliable piston-fill mechanism. The design incorporates the 'fils' (son) signature of Alexandre Dumas, corrected after an initial recall of pens featuring the incorrect signature. In terms of dimensions, the pen measures 5 3/8 inches in length, extending to 6 3/8 inches when posted.
It is presented with its original box, outer box, documentation, and protective cardboard sleeve, reflecting its status as a collector's item within the literary-themed Writers Series collection.
