One of the rarest Montblanc pens made by the Montblanc Factory in Denmark.

Montblanc had a plant in Denmark since 1914 that produced the same instruments made in Germany, but also other models that were made in Denmark only, such as this one. These are now one of the most collectible Montblanc pens as they were produced in much smaller numbers for short periods of time but also with superb quality.

The plant was run by Mr. Alfred Oberg and Montblanc even kept it secret from 1933 till 1964 that they produced any pens in Denmark. Shortly after WWII, the production of Montblanc pens in Denmark spiked and resulted with most of the Montblanc pens made in the late 40’s and very early 50’s being made in Denmark; one of the reasons is probably due to the post war restrictions on Germany’s production and imports, such as the import of precious metals.

This model was produced very briefly as most of the Denmark models were, (they were only produced in a duration of 1-2 years).
