Rich, warm brown pens aren't common from Montblanc, but in the bright light this special edition Montblanc Heritage Rouge et Noir Tropic Brown is a stunner, especially with its rose gold trim. We believe this pen to be New Old Stock. The nib appears to be undipped, and the blind cap is still stickered for a medium nib. Its piston smoothly pumps down then up. Guaranteed authentic, you get all of this pens original boxes and papers. The photo doesn't do justice to the ruby-chip eyes on of the snake on the pocket clip.
