| Description | This is one of the rarest filling mechanisms, you can find. The Compressor filler technically is very similar to the way, Chilton pens work. You can pull out a tube on the back of the pen. Then, by pushing it back into the pen (in the meantime, you are supposed to keep a finger on the tiny hole on the back end of the tube), you create a pressure inside the pen, which compresses the ink sac. By opening the tiny hole again, air flows back into the barrel and the sac is allowed to expand again. By expanding, the sac fills itself with ink. Got that? no? Well, thats one of the reasons, the pen was not that successful : the customer did not really follow the complicate filling instructions. And for this reason, the pen was produced only for a short period and is rare and hard to find. This long no. 4 size pen shows a Rouge Et Noir imprint on the barrel and Montblanc on the cap, as well as a white star. This mix of brands on cap and barrel is sometimes found in Italy, and Italian catalogues of the periods as well show this mix. A very rare pen in a wonderful large size. Imprints are still fully readably. Hard rubber is of a deep shiny black. only flaw to mention are the tiny bite marks on the vertical lining of the barrel near the push knob. |
