Pair of fountain pens manufactured by the prestigious German firm Montblanc. These are models of the Meisterstück series. They have the traditional white star embedded in the upper part of the caps.

The Montblanc Meisterstück model is considered by many collectors as one of the most beautiful modern pieces of the German firm. In 1924 Montblanc began using the brand name Meisterstück (masterpiece) to indicate its higher-end pens. The Montblanc company was founded in 1906, and in 1913 the star that is its emblem and hallmark of the house was created. It is a round white star that represents the snow that covers the summit of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Europe, and symbolizes the brand's commitment as European manufacturers of objects of the highest quality and distinction.
