MONTBLANC ROUGE ET NOIR NR. 6

Montblanc Rouge et Noir safety pens were marketed in Italy only for a very limited span of time.

Sizes available were the same as  the standard Montblanc safety pens with white star which were marketed in Germany.

The Rouge et Noir brand was registered in Italy in the first decade of 1900. The official Montblanc Agent for Italy was Mr. Walter Kessel. Very limited pieces of information exist about the development and management of the Italian market for Montblanc pens.

This Rouge et Noir nr. 6 is in excellent condition with very deep imprints o the cap and the barrel. 

The only defect on this pen is that the cap has been shortened by approx. 1 mm.  I left it the way it was as I deemed the originality of the cap was much better than a restoration which would then be probably visible anyway.
