The Montblanc 350 was made from 1971 to 1984 and is relatively frequently encountered. Clip and rings are not of real gold but only gilded; only models with the hallmark 585 or 750 actually contain solid gold. Until 1991, Montblanc was a normal writing-instrument manufacturer with a broad range from school supplies to the Meisterstück and positioned itself as a luxury brand only thereafter, which is why the 350 today has no very high material value. As a sentimental memorial object or as a utility piece, however, it can nevertheless be valued.
