Danish production No. 275 button-filler. Rolled gold cap, alternating pinstripe and plain line pattern, raised captop device with white Montblanc star on black field, black resin barrel, section appears to be black hard rubber. The pocket clip repeats the pinstripe pattern. 14K gold No. 4 Montblanc circle-vent nib, very nice flex. A splendid pen, seldom-seen, modeled after the German-produced Montblanc No. 644 but with an elegant flexible nib suitable for calligraphy, rather than the "flugelfelder" (wing nib) typically found in the 644. Light age wear to cap, two hairline scratches to captop star; section faded to brown; a lovely example of this Danish oddity, not tested internally.

Scarce. Not listed in Rösler/Wallrafen's Collectible Stars: Montblanc Writing Instruments from 1946 until 1979. In conversation, Jens Rösler remarked:  "We will have this rare pen in our new book CS2 which will be published at the end of this year".
