The Montblanc Writers Edition Leo Tolstoy fountain pen, released in 2015, is a limited edition writing instrument dedicated to the renowned Russian author. This pen measures 14 cm in length and features a distinctive barrel with a hammered, silver-plated finish designed to symbolize Tolstoy's philosophy of working the land.
The cap is crafted from dark gray precious resin, topped with the signature Montblanc white star emblem, while the cone is fashioned from blue-marbled resin. Platinum-plated fittings complement the overall color scheme, which is inspired by the covers of Tolstoy's significant early works. The cap ring showcases a traditional Russian woven pattern, and the author's signature is engraved onto the cap. This writing instrument is equipped with a piston-loading mechanism and an F tip, featuring an 18kt white gold nib (marked 750) engraved with the Tolstoy family coat of arms.
Presented as a limited edition numbered 2157/9000, the set includes the original box and documentation.
