The fountain pen's gold-plated cap ring is detailed with an engraving of notes from his original manuscript of Brandenburg Concerto No. 5. The clip is fashioned in the shape of a Clef symbol.

This Montblanc fountain pen uses a piston-filling system. I have tested it with water and works as it was designed to. There was never any ink inside the pen and when flushed with water it always came out clean with no ink residue.
The 18-karat two-tone nib is engraved with the profile of Bach's likeness and is marked. "4810, 18K, MONTBLANC". This nib is a Medium and the iridium point measures .84mm when using digital calipers. I have never inked this fountain pen nib to keep it in uninked, unused condition for the next collector. But you know it will write with a smooth, juicy, wet line!
Johann Sebastian Bach, a prominent composer of German baroque and Protestant church music, was widely recognized for his exceptional musical compositions. His works were notably original and distinct, earning him praise from the likes of Ludwig van Beethoven, who likened Bach's music to the vastness of the sea due to its limitless and intricate harmonies. One such noteworthy composition is "The Well-Tempered Clavier", which is a testament to Bach's unparalleled creativity.
The original box contains five facsimile sheets of music from the manuscript for the Brandenburg Concertos. The box is complete and in excellent condition.
This fountain pen from Montblanc's Special Edition collection features a stunning design and a comfortable grip. It was expertly crafted in Germany and is in impeccable condition, which I consider to be in New Old Stock, Never Inked, Mint Condition. This Montblanc is ready to write with your favorite ink or just add to your writing arsenal collection!
