It is a Montblanc Noblesse rollerball from the third and last series of the Noblesse range (not to be confused with the later Noblesse Oblige range), produced at the end of the 1990s. The material is gilded brass, with the gilding very thin and rubbing off comparatively quickly. The blank, shiny field on the cap is regularly intended as an engraving field; a hallmark or serial number does not exist on these pieces. The then retail price was about 125 to 135 DM, by which the model was significantly cheaper than the black Meisterstück rollerballs of plastic.
