Overview

Montblanc began producing Dunhill pens in the 1980's, engineering parts before handing over the design aspect to Dunhill with their signature lacquering and logos. 

This fountain pen is based on the Montblanc Noblesse and has the Noblesse section and nib. But it is a distinctive design for Dunhill, which they call “Gemline”.

The 18k Nib is buttery smooth and the tortoishell lacquer finish is lovely. The pen comes boxed in its original Dunhill hardcase. 



Condition

The fountain pen is in very good condition.



Servicing

The pen has been cleaned and dip tested and the nib fine tuned. 

All our pens come Grand Vision Guaranteed: guaranteed to write beautifully out of the box and to provide long lasting writing service.



Imperfections 

There are no major imperfections to note, no chips cracks or engravings

The outer box has a small mark on the top, and the pen shows wear from everyday use, micro-scratching present throughout. But overall a very nice example, ready to write. 


Writing Style & Nib Appraisal

The nib has been tuned to ensure smooth writing experience.

The nib is a delightfully smooth Broad nib, which in western terms is a slightly finer broad than say a Montblanc Broad.

The Namiki #10 solid gold 14k Broad nib is inscribed with the silhouette of Mt. Fuji as well as the Namiki pentagon logo. Namiki 14k gold nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, or Left Oblique

 

Recommendations

Recommended for everyday use, calligraphy, greeting cards, signatures, journaling, and all forms of appropriate use. 

Why not pair with a bottle of J Herbin ink? Caroube de Chypre would suit this pen very well in our eyes!
