Montblanc Pens – The Limited Editions

It’s 2018 and we are still the best independent source of information on Mont Blanc Pens in the limited edition variety.  In this “Digital Age” pen collecting has become more and more popular in recent years and Mont Blanc is the most popular of all pen brands. I’ve included pictures and stats of all the most popular pieces down below.

Where To Purchase

Buying Montblanc pens and watches can sometimes be a risky business. Many sellers fail to disclose all details that effect the value of the pen such as the fact a ballpoint was converted from a mechanical pencil (creating two ballpoints with the same serial number) and numerous other small details.

Some sellers may even unknowingly sell a virtually identical replica. I recommend only buying from a reputable Mont Blanc Pens Dealer or from a well-known collector known as being a reliable and trustworthy expert. I’ve also had going dealings overseas from pensinasia.com As a last resort you can always check the Official Montblanc Site for new releases but expect to pay more than you would (list price) than from an Independent Dealer.
