Monte Rosa Information

[Alexcat]

Hoping for any help in finding out about this.

 

Git it some time ago, and all I know is it's a Monte Rosa,has - I think - Minte a Rosa etched on the cap, no cracks, nib says Monte Rosa, and on the end piece there's a dot( white?) and numbers which may be 0486.

 

When I got it, the nib was a wee bit scratchy, and I tried to smooth a little, but left iy when I didn't seem to be making any progress, and didn't want to do damadpge. I'm pretty certain that a nib eister could have iy up and rock and rollin' in no time at all

 

Anyway.....could anyone let me know what model it is? Have enclosed pictures as best ?I cab( eyes bad just now.)

 

Thanks

Alex

 

PS I'm hoping to sell it....if there's anyone here who would like to give it a new home, that would be great....eBay is a hassle and my concentration isn't great. I'd much rather just a straightforward private sale. And please excuse me if its cheeky saying that here. I have no idea how much it's worth, nor ant memory of what ?I paid for it( again with the health stuff.....stroke affected memory)

Put it this way. New in box examples are not uncommon, and go for about US$100 in the states.

It came in two versions, 042 (gold plate nib), and 042g (14k nib).

 

Best regards.

Not every "Monte Rosa" was made by or for Montblanc. There also was an independent Swiss company with the name "Monte Rosa" which produced fountain pens too. But this is pen is a real Montblanc school pen.

 

I don't think that you should expect more than £ 35 to £ 40 for it.
