MontBlanc 585

Mont Blanc 585

Color: Burgundy
Material: Resin

Filler: Piston
Date c. 1970

Nib: M 14K
Working? Yes

My first MB, and an appropriate one for that. Known as the “economy” MontBlanc (as if!) this is still a very nice piece of writing equipment. Thirsty piston fill and a smooth 14K nib. The screaming blue visulated section is a little odd, but this seems to be a solid pen that will get its share of use.
