Montblanc - 252 with Scarce 14K OB (Oblique Broad) Nib - Fountain pen

The Montblanc No. 252 is a classic piston-filling fountain pen from the 1950s and one of the characteristic models of Montblanc’s post-war production. It features a rounded black resin body, gold-plated trim, a transparent ink window and the distinctive wing-style gold nib construction used on several Montblanc models of the period. The 252 combines traditional piston-filler engineering with the compact, elegant proportions typical of 1950s Montblanc pens, giving it strong appeal both as a writing instrument and as a representative piece of the brand’s mid-century production. This example is fitted with a 14K Oblique Broad (OB) gold nib, a less commonly encountered configuration than the usual F or M widths. The piston knob carries the original “B” marking together with an oblique-angle symbol, corresponding to the nib fitted to the pen. The oblique broad nib gives the pen a more expressive writing character and adds particular interest for collectors. The pen is in very good, pre-owned condition and has been carefully cleaned. Imperfections: light scratches, marks and minor signs of use, slight plating issues. The piston operates smoothly, and the pen is ready to use.
