More curiously though, this pen has a barrel imprint that is out of place. Let's take a look at some examples from the 32x series. The "RM" stands for Reichsmark - the currency of Germany at the time and until 1948. According to a 1936 pricelist, the 324 was available for 6.6 RM, while the 324 was priced at 8 RM, and the 326 was 10 RM. And finally, the 32x sported the Druckfüller or simple push-button filling system, while the 22x had the advanced Stoßfüller or push knob filler technology. Also, the 22x had a fluted clip while the 32x had a simple clip with a diamond-shaped end.

Another notable difference was that the 22x series had a full casein star on the cap top while the 32x only had an outline of the star on the cap top. One notable difference was that the nib on the 22x had the "Montblanc" imprint with a '2', '4' or '6' inscribed while the 32x had a "warranted 14 KAR" imprint inscribed with either an 'a', 'b', or 'c' depending on the size of the pen. The colourful pens were made of celluloid they were priced the same as the black variant back in the day, but they are rare to find today and command a substantial premium among collectors! The 32x series was quite similar to the higher 22x series. And then there were some vibrant colours including blue, green, platinum lined, and pearl marbled, among others. There was plain black, of course, made from hard rubber or ebonite. The pens were available in various colours. And the last digit tells us about the nib/pen size - there was a size 2, 4, and 6 i.e. The second digit - the "2" - signifies that it was a button filler. The first digit in the model number - the "3" - signifies that the pen was part of the tier-3 or 'economy' line up. The 32x series pens were made from the mid to late 1930s.
