MONTBLANC: Greta Garbo Commemorative Limited Edition 100 Fountain Pen

A tribute to one of Hollywood's most glamorous and enduring stars, in solid 18 karat yellow gold inlaid with mother-of-pearl. The pen's profile suggests a cigarette holder, and the clip is adorned with a luminous pearl. This special limited edition is studded with brilliant-cut diamonds beneath the grip and on the cap, and the captop star is ringed by diamonds and set off by mother-of-pearl. One of the most alluring pens ever created by Montblanc. 18K rhodium-plated gold nib with heart-shaped vent (nib size not indicated, but appears to be medium). Outer box, display box, booklet. Limited Edition: 074/100.

See session page for enlarged view of captop star.
