Montblanc limited edition
Agatha Christie
MONTBLANC AGATHA CHRISTIE fountain pen Sold
The pen has been sitting unused for lo these past 20 years, stuck in the back of a closet (if you're interested in a bit of history on this particular pen, it's provenance is discussed below) and comes complete with box, original booklets and outer sleeve (please see photos).
The piston operates smoothly when the knob is turned. This particular pen has a bit of a backstory (appropriate, considering who it belongs to!). A couple of years ago, I attended my one-and-only book signing. It was with one of my favorite mystery writers -- whose books I've been reading for more than 30 years -- Lawrence Block. If you're not familiar with Mr. Block, he's a Grandmaster of the Mystery Writers of America, has won multiple Edgar and Shamus Awards and countless international prizes over his illustrious career. A number of his books have been made into films, and in fact one of his novels starring his character Matthew Scudder, 'A Walk among the Tombstones' is currently filming in New York City -- to be released next year -- and stars Liam Neeson as Scudder. After the signing/reading, I stuck around a bit to introduce myself and to
present Mr. Block with a pen to use during future book signings. We've
subsequently exchanged a number of emails on various topics and he recently told
me about a fountain pen that was presented to him 20 years ago by Montblanc,
upon it's launch as part of the Writer's series -- and which had been
sitting unused inside his closet ever since! It turns out that Mr. Block is a
keyboard man.
