[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 5980686, member: 360"]So, I nabbed this on eBay at the start of the month, and it arrived today, all the way from Japan. It's sterling silver with an 18kt gold fine nib, and lovely gold-filled details on the cap and barrel. It's ca. 1991, and is marked "W. GERMANY" [SERIAL NUMBER] "METAL" on the clip-ring, and "925" above the cap-rings. Yes, it was quite expensive, and yes, I saved a long time to buy this, and no, it wasn't in great condition when I got it, but I knew if I didn't grab this now, I'd never get the chance to own one. Considering what they're selling for, it was far too good a price to pass up, and didn't have any flaws in it which I couldn't deal with. It took half a day to polish it and tweak the nib to get it writing properly, but it finally operates as a sterling silver Montblanc should! My fingers may look like I spent all day pleasuring a smurf...but I got it working!!
