On offer is a stunning Dupont Montparnasse Chinese lacquered fountain pen, brass body and cap, with an 18-carat solid gold nib (FINE graded) with gold-plated trim. The pen uses a cartridge/converter (original converter included) ink system. It includes original presentation case. Around 1989, Dupont launched one of its most successful pens, the large to extra-large Montparnasse range, which remained their flagship model until the introduction of the Olympio range. Similar to previous models, the Montparnasse came in several types of finish over its solid brass body: precious metals guillochè and Chinese lacquered. All the nibs are mono-tone 18-carat gold. Since the section of the fountain pen is internal, Dupont devised a specially designed swing out handle that sits on the base of the barrel and allows for the section to be unscrewed from the barrel - once again, an inspiration from their lighter range. The Montparnasse range included two ballpoint pen variants (a medium-sized and a large girth version), a rollerball pen and two sizes of the fountain pen (medium and the XL).
