Of the eight Montblanc pens I own, this one is my favourite: the Montblanc Schiller Writers Edition. It is a dome-topped pen, resembling Montblanc designs of the 1920s. The 3-band clip wraps around the cap, resembling vintage slip-on clips. The cap is covered by an overlay of reconstituted amber.
Like most Montblanc Writers Editions, the Schiller is a piston-filing pen. The 18K nib is engraved with a crossbow as a tribute to Schiller's “William Tell”. The pen feels fantastic in the hand: the size, weight and balance are perfect. The nib is smooth and not too wet, which for me is a positive characteristic.
The Schiller radiates warmth and subdued glamour as few other pens do.
