Jens Rösler comments:
"There were three of these tiny pens forgotten in a drawer in Montblanc's claims department. My grandfather, Ernst Rösler, found them while cleaning up damage after an air raid in 1944. Montblanc pens with enamel overlays are extremely rare; in this size, there are probably not more than 20 examples in existence worldwide."
Provenance: From the Jens Rösler Montblanc Collection.
