Montblanc Vintage pens / oldies FAQ entry

It is presumably the Montblanc 215, which was produced between 1957 and 1959. The model number is usually stamped on the barrel band and should be checked for confirmation. As a refill, a Ballograf refill is also suitable. For value determination, reference is made to Axel's forum article on the value determination of Montblanc writing instruments; as a market price around 30 euros is mentioned, comparable to the Pix 276.
