You collect pens but never heard of Montegrappa? Montegrappa makes very high end pens. This particular one is made by Montegrappa for Tibaldi so i can't say if the quality is the same. Materials definitely won't be at this price point.

This seems like an okay deal .. i guess...
Montegrappa was a well known luxury pen brand. They had a history for making fantastic nibs with silver or gold bodies which were cast. The ink feeds in their pens had a long history of having issues. It was pretty common for them to require ink feed service out of the box.
*disclaimer.. I have the montegrappa silver with the side deco. I LOVE the nib. I like the ink feed post service. It is heavy... really heavy...

Montegrappa was acquired by a luxury brand Richemont group in 2000. At this point quality took a nose dive (in my opinion). By in large they have moved to making expensive pens with iffy nibs, ink feeds and plastic bodies. (And no montblanc is not a very good pen..)
https://www.ebay.com/itm/174719092263 this is what mine looks like but it was about 800$ at the time.

Tibaldi was a less known pen maker which was acquired by Montegrappa in 2004. Prior to their acquisition, I think tibalid made much better pens.

For this pen: You have a decent discount but the pen itself is just okay.
1) steel nib at 100$ or more retail is not a good deal. At 50$ it is okay i guess but nothing impressive. Honestly, you can probably do as well with a pilot pen.
2) ink feed is a no name house. It is probably a random ink feed from china. Nothing impressive.
3) The description suggests it is a brass barrel. At one point this was a given in a 50-100$ pen but at this point it is pretty rare.


IF you want a brass barrel, steel nib pen and don't want to just buy a pilot metropolitan then it should be fine.

Personally, i would suggest going cheaper with the pilot or going more expensive (pilot or platinum) to get a gold nib.

I bought a (sixty)seven-dollar pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring. - Mitch Hedberg

Agreed, quality is not what it was. In addition, plain brass barrel with stainless nib, paying for the name. Better off with the Pilot Metropolitan. The last Montegrappa pen I picked up was a few yrs back. It was the Fortuna Mosaico Resin w stainless nib. It was scratchy, skips and had issue with upstroke.
