Montegrappa 1930 Mediterranean Blue- Fountain Pen
-
Classic and Timeless Design: The Extra 1930 is one of the brand's most recognizable and "Montegrappiest" silhouettes. Its shape, although large and generously sized, is perfectly balanced and comfortable in the hand, allowing for long writing sessions without fatigue. It is a design that transcends fashions and trends.

Celluloid "Mediterranean Blue": The star of this feather is its body made of precious celluloid in the color "Mediterranean Blue". Celluloid is a highly valued material in the manufacture of luxury feathers for several reasons:
- Depth and Luminosity: Blue is not uniform; it presents unique patterns, veins and a richness that changes with light, evoking the deep and crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. Each feather is slightly different.
- Warmth to the Touch: Unlike metals or some resins, celluloid has a more pleasant temperature to the touch, which improves the writing experience.
- Tradition: Its use is a tribute to the "golden age" of fountain pens.
-
Sterling Silver Trim (.925): The metallic details of the pen are solid sterling silver.
- The Clip: The distinctive Montegrappa clip with the small rotating dial at the tip, which is not only a design element but also functional for slipping the pen into your pocket.
- Cap Bands: The wide band and cap rings are often intricately engraved with the "Greek Key" pattern, a classic Montegrappa motif that adds a touch of opulence.
- Grip Section: In many versions, the grip section is also sterling silver, engraved to provide a secure and luxurious grip.

18K Gold Nib
Ebonite Feeder: The nib sits on an ebonite feed. Ebonite is a traditionally superior material for feeders, as it helps regulate ink flow more consistently and reliably than modern plastic. -
Integrated Piston Filling System: The Montegrappa Extra 1930 uses a built-in piston filling mechanism. This system allows the pen to be loaded directly from an inkwell, offering a large ink capacity and being preferred by many enthusiasts for its elegance and performance.
