The 1970s and 1980s were an era when the population of fountain pen users dropped sharply. In order to compete with other new-generation writing instruments, major manufacturers continued to stimulate creativity. Among them, Montblanc also launched the Noble Series in the late 1970s, which is the protagonist we will introduce today. :Montblanc Noblesse.
This Montblanc Noble was produced around 1976-1980: brushed stainless steel pen body, gold-plated clip, 585/14K K gold nib, flat and narrow blade type iridium dot polishing, cartridge-type ink/ink absorber dual-purpose ink.

Compared with Montblanc’s previous products, this pen is smaller in size and is relatively more suitable for women or people who like a delicate grip. The overall shape was also considered to be leading the trend at the time. Not only dunhill was also OEMing pens with similar shapes by Montblanc at the time ( In fact, Montblanc was already a member of the dunhill group at the time), and even some boutique brands, including Cartier, CD, ST Dupont, etc., launched products of similar sizes.

Due to the success of the Noble Series, this series continues to expand with new members, including not only metal poles, but also matt painted poles, marble painted poles, steel tips, 14K gold tips, 18K gold tips, etc. I have probably only owned A little more than half, and other styles have to wait for the right opportunity to get them.
