The features described, especially the nib mount with two lateral prongs, the second narrow cap ring, the star on cap and body as well as the nib hallmarked with 14K/585 and star, point to the Classic series and not to the Generation line. The nib engraving 'MONTBLANC GERMANY' confirms the assignment. For a reliable identification, meaningful photos of the nib, the cap rings and the body are helpful, since the designs of Classic and Generation are similar in basics. The models existed regularly in black and Bordeaux with gold trim.
