The Montblanc 2013 Writers Edition Honore de Balzac Ballpoint honors the great writer with a luxurious design that fittingly recalls Balzac's stature and attire. The instrument features a black high-grade resin cap and dark-grey lacquered barrel with fine stripes in tribute to the cutaway worn by Balzac. The platinum-plated clip with gold-coated ring and turquoise inlay recalls the magnificently decorated walking stick he often carried. Cap and barrel rings are platinum-plated. The 19th century social classes so brilliantly described by Balzac in "La Comedie humaine" are symbolized in the ring designs: the opulent gold-coated cap head ring for the nobility, the discretely decorated platinum-plated cap ring for the bourgeoisie, and the simply worked cone ring for the lower classes. Balzac's finely engraved signature decorates the cap. The final touch is the iconic Montblanc snowcap finial. Twist-mechanism. One of 14,500 limited pieces. Made in Germany. Dimensions: 136.5mm length, 14.5mm barrel-width, 17mm cap-width.
