About This Items
The Montblanc “No. 22” fountain pen is a lightweight, compact vintage fountain pen manufactured in the 1960s as part of the so-called “Two-Digit (Digitite) Series.”
Wing Nib (Integrated Nib): It features a “wing nib,” in which the nib appears to be embedded in the barrel, and is crafted from 14-karat gold (585). It is characterized by a uniquely smooth and supple writing experience.
Size and Weight: With a length of approximately 130 mm when retracted, it is slightly smaller and slimmer than average; however, inserting the cap at the rear provides a solid length and balance, making it very easy to handle.
Filling Mechanism: It uses a “piston filling system” where ink is drawn up by turning the rear of the barrel. A window on part of the barrel allows you to check the ink level.
Total Length (When Closed): Approx. 130 mm (compact size, convenient for carrying)
Total Length (When Writing, Without Cap): Approx. 120 mm
Total Length (When Writing, With Cap Inserted at the Back): Approx. 143 mm (a manageable length comparable to a standard fountain pen)
Maximum barrel diameter: Approx. 11.5 mm (The narrowest part of the barrel is approx. 9.5 mm, offering a slim design that is easy to grip even for those with smaller hands)
Total weight: Approx. 14 g (About half the weight of current models like the Montblanc 146, making it less tiring to use even during extended writing sessions)
