Montegrappa Goldfinger Special Issue Fountain Pen
Following last year’s extraordinarily popular 007 Spymaster Duo and 007 Special Issue, Montegrappa's newest James Bond chapter uses simplicity and stunning optics to hit the sweet spot between accessibility and collectability.
Like the James Bond franchise itself, Goldfinger Special Issue keeps to a winning formula by returning to the standards of 007 Special Issue, then enhancing them in limited edition with exclusive references to Goldfinger—the 1964 movie many consider to be Bond’s best.
Materials, finishing and presentation on Goldfinger Special Issue stick to the script of 007 Special Issue, reprising its aluminum, brass and steel metalwork, this time retouched end to end with a blunt golden sheen. A limited release of 707 fountain pens and rollerballs reflects the edition’s gold-plated status and the momentum of Goldfinger’s 60th anniversary—celebrated this year by cinephiles and Bond fans alike. Edition numbering is engraved into the rear of the cap’s open-edged base.
The fountain pen's all-aluminum body is oxidized, sandblasted and textured with a knurled, pistol-grip finish on the barrel. Trim is realized in brass, ion-plated and sandblasted, and includes a clip with fluting inspired by Bond’s Walther PPK revolver.
Overt branding details are provided by a debossed 007 logo on the upper barrel and inside the hollow-point cap top: the rifled steel insert that invokes the trademark gun-barrel animation that opens every James Bond movie. Fountain pens have the 007 pistol logo on a custom ø6mm, 14K yellow gold nib (EF, F, M, B, Stub 1.1) and use cartridge/converter filling.
Accessories include a notebook and leatherette zip folio, enhanced with debossing and gold foil-block 007 and Goldfinger logos. Goldfinger Special Issue is supplied in a custom, hot-stamped box. A QR code links to an online owner’s manual and edition booklet.

FAQs about Fountain Pens
How do I fill a fountain pen with ink?
It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above.
Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:
- Cartridge - A small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write! Check out our quick guide here.
- Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
- Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
- Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
- Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.

How do I clean a fountain pen?
It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck.
It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:
How often do I need to clean my fountain pen?
We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors.
Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.
My pen won’t write! What do I do?
First things first... make sure you have ink in the pen! Be sure that the ink cartridge or converter is seated properly in the pen, and that you aren't out of ink.
We always recommend you give your pen a good cleaning first, using our Goulet Pen Flush, or a drop of dish soap in some water. New pens often have some machining oil residue left in the feed, so a good cleaning often does the trick first.
If that still doesn't work, try priming the feed. This consists of either dipping your pen nib and feed in ink, or forcing ink from the converter down into the feed.
If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to us so we can help!
