Identifying Mont Blanc Pen

[Maags]

Hi. I am sorry for my bad English. I hope it is understandable.

 

My father inherited a Mont Blanc pen and pencil and is now curious of what models they are, as there is not much information except “Made in Germany” on the pen itself.

Through some google-searching I found a picture with a pen looking like the one my father has named “RED & GOLD TRIPLE STAR MONTBLANC SL FOUNTAIN PEN”. Looking up that name only shows a few results though, so I am not sure whether it is correct or not.

Because of the star on the pen I tried looking up Mont Blanc Starwalker pens but could not find a match here either.

I hope you can help me identifying what models the pen and pencil are.

 

I have attached two pictures that I hope can make it easier identifying them.

 

 

Thanks in advance

Best regards, Maags

IIRC, a SlimLine.

The red pens in the pictures are from a model series called "SlimLine", also sold by Montblanc under the names "SL" and "S-line".

 

They were available in a number of colors in this finish: black, red, blue, brown, white and maybe more. They were also available in stainless steel. They're a very simple and durable design, and the fountain pen will fill with either the original (but not current) Montblanc converter, the Pelikan converter, or Standard International cartridges.

 

They are related to the earlier Noblesse and VIP series, and a little bit to the later Noblesse Oblige series. The SlimLine models specifically have the black plastic button at the end of the clip with a little Montblanc star on it; if there's no plastic button, it's a Noblesse.

 

The VIP, Noblesse and Slimeline models were made in the 1970s, part of the fashion at the time for slim metal pens with minimalist, modern appearance (for a similar design from another maker, search the net for the Aurora Hastil). They were positioned in the middle level of Montblanc's offerings at the time, below the Meisterstuck and "numbered model" series and above the Carerra/Caressa series. You can think of their market position as "office grade".

Thanks for the information; I have the black one. On the nib, there is no indication of its size.
