New Montblanc Writers Ed. 2013 Honore de Balzac Ballpoint 109296 NEW Turquoise

Description

The Montblanc 2013 Writers Edition Honoré 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 Comedié 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.
T
he final touch is the iconic Montblanc snowca
