The Monte Rosa model 042 has a barrel diameter of 11.6 mm, a length without cap of 114 mm and with screwed-on cap of 127 mm. Gold trim can tarnish even without ink contact, which does not necessarily reduce the value. With foreign purchase, additional costs for money transfer and especially customs are to be calculated — the customs costs can reach around 30 percent of the goods value. Therefore, before a bid, a complete cost calculation should always be drawn up.
