Additional details
This model is seen occassionally, but is not as common as the 254 model released about the same time. When Montblanc created the 25x line, they made a step towards modernity, with the unprecendented use of wing nibs and slip caps. But to satisfy those customers who did not want to take such a distinct step away from previous designs, the 264 was created with a traditionally shaped nib and a screw-on cap. One of the distinct advantages of the design is that the model is not as susceptible to the pressure cracks in the cap that is regularly seen on the 25x pens.
