Filling Mechanism: Ballpoint

Pen company Montblanc pays tribute the mountain that the company is named after with the Montblanc Tribute to Mont Blanc. Guaranteed authentic this pen appears to be New Old Stock complete with all of its original boxes and papers. Loaded with a working blue ballpoint refill, it is ready to rock your world. We love the opal or pearlescent "snowflake" logo at the end of the pen. You'll see the nose cone of the pen features the height of the mountains around Mont Blanc in the Alps. 13.7cm.

Blessed are those who love writing with a pen from Vatican City. This collectible ballpoint from the Vatican Museums sports themes of landmarks and images from all around the Vatican. It comes with its original box and paper. It features a "Vatican Museums" refill, which is really a Parker-style refill easily found anywhere in the U.S....and probably everywhere else. The Holy Pen Designer seems to have had a thing for modern Parker Duofold ballpoints. The pen is nicely weighted and shows a little light wear from use. 12.9cm.

Fine waves of guilloche ripple under the blue enamel surface invoking the ocean in the Montblanc Writers Series Jules Verne ballpoint pen. Best known for his book "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" Verne was among the very first science fiction writers setting his adventure on a deep-sea submarine exploring the last depths of unknown earth. When he first wrote the story, submarines were hand powered and barely dipped a foot or two below the surface of the water...often sinking and killing their crew. As for this preowned luxury pen, it was barely used and looks pristine. It come complete with its original boxes and papers. It also sports a working blue ballpoint refill. 13.7cm.

We'd take a Cross Peerless 125 ballpoint pen any day over a Montblanc LeGrand ballpoint. Large for easier gripping, we love its 23k gold plate and metal construction. There's a Swarovski crystal in the cap jewel. Plus, it takes more affordable, easy-to-find ballpoint refills. This pen is almost perfect with only a couple small scratches. No dents. It comes with its original box and papers. It also has a snazzy acrylic block display. Also includes a working, black Cross refill. 14.5cm

The Parker 51 was such a wildly popular pen, the company has tried several times to bring it back since the 1990s. This is their second attempt, which they called the Parker 100. We actually think these pens were quite elegant and should have been more popular than they were. This ballpoint version of the Parker 100 has a dark-blue barrel, and dark-pearl-grey cap and gold plated trim. The brushed gold nose cone has some scratches, but the rest of the pen only shows light wear from use. We installed a brand-new Parker style refill with black ink. The pen has a little weight, which makes it a really smooth writer. You also get its boxes. 13.7cm.

Sleek black gleams against the silvery trim of this Dunhill Cubist ballpoint pen. It has a great faceted design for an easy grip and unique look. Complete with its original box and papers! It comes with a working refill that writes a nice black line. 13.8cm.

One of our most tragic presidents, John F. Kennedy gets honored with the Montblanc JFK ballpoint pen. This special edition pen comes complete with its original boxes and book. This is the burgundy model and about as large as a LeGrand ballpoint, maybe a shade larger. We just installed a new turquoise ballpoint refill. Our preowned pen has a nice heft to it, too. Minimal wear, but we're sure you can see it is engraved with "FIZ" in the photo. Guaranteed authentic. 14.4cm.

Did you know that Parker Sonnets come in a miniature version? We didn't until this Parker Sonnet Mono Refresh arrived on our doorstep. It is an adorable little pen whose design pattern is called "chisled carbon." Click the headline for a close-up. Twist the nose cone to advance or retract the ballpoint. These actually don't take Parker-style refills. It takes a stick refill! This one comes with a working black refill, and the pen appears to be in excellent condition with minimal wear. 10cm.
