Pre‑owned, excellent condition. Fully functional piston, clean nib, no cracks, and only light signs of careful use.
For sale is an authentic late‑1980s Montblanc Meisterstück 149 featuring the highly desirable 14K “4810” nib paired with the original feed — the last era before Montblanc transitioned to plastic feeds in the 1990s. Collectors prize this generation for its superior ink flow, softer writing feel, and transitional construction quality.
This example has a Medium (M) nib, writes smoothly, and shows the classic two‑tone 14K 585 engraving. The ebonite feed fins are crisp and clean, and the piston mechanism operates smoothly with proper suction.
This is the more sought‑after transitional model with the writing characteristics collectors look for.
