The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
Manufactured in England, this is a Mentmore 46 from the early 1950s in dark burgundy with a white metal cap - known as 'permobrite metal' - and a gold clip
Unusually for Mentmore, the 46 had a type of hooded nib. Both this design element and the slip on cap suggest that this was one of the company's main attempts to produce a model to compete with the Parker 51
This example is fitted with its original fine 14k gold Mentmore nib which produces line of around 0.4mm with light pressure - the nib has some slight flex to it, so the width of the line can vary
Condition wise, this has seen little use and is in good shape with a readable barrel imprint
This is a button filler with a latex rubber ink sac and does not take cartridges
This pen comes with its original card box
Condition B/1f - (Ref 12965)

We have fully serviced this pen which includes disassembling the pen and ultrasonically cleaning all the parts. We then reassemble the pen and fit the correct size of new ink sac, check the ink flow and the smoothness of the nib. We also check and adjust the tightness and positioning of the clip.
This pen comes with our normal 12 month warranty. We keep a detailed record of each customer's purchases so if you need to call us, we will have all the information here to answer any query
