Montegrappa Extra 1930 Fountain Pen - Turtle Brown

The Montegrappa Extra 1930 Fountain Pen - Turtle Brown is a classic luxury writing instrument crafted from rare Mazzucchelli celluloid, showcasing a rich blend of dark brown, caramel, and golden hues that create an iridescent effect. This pen is trimmed with sterling silver featuring the iconic Greek fret design, emphasizing its vintage-inspired elegance. It is equipped with a large #8 nib made of 18k gold, available in various sizes including EF, F, M, B, BB, and 1.1 Stub, delivering a smooth and responsive writing experience.

Measuring approximately 138 mm in length and weighing 44 grams, the pen offers excellent balance thanks to its sterling silver section counteracting the weight of the piston filling mechanism. The pen uses Montegrappa's ratchet piston system for ink filling (bottled ink only), ensuring reliable ink flow. Although discontinued from general retail, the Turtle Brown Extra 1930 remains available via Montegrappa’s Custom Configurator, making it a sought-after collector's piece.

Praised for its beauty, craftsmanship, and writing smoothness, it warms to the writer’s touch and stands as a unique treasure in any collection. Available from specialty retailers like Pen Planet, where you can also follow Pen Planet Instagram for updates.
