MONTBLANC Meisterstuck 146 Fountain Pen 14K nib M Vintage 1980s

Description

About This Items

  1. Montblanc is known for its fountain pens, and Montblanc is known for its Meisterstück fountain pens, which are overwhelmingly popular for their black bodies with a white star on the cap top. Among the Meisterstück fountain pens, the 146 (now known as the Le Grand), which has a built-in piston mechanism along with the 149, is a popular fountain pen because of its easy-to-handle size and reliability.
  2. The elliptical shape of the pen, which gently narrows from the center to both ends, and the jet-black body have a charm that makes it hard to let go of as you use it. The black body and the long oval shape, which gently narrows at the center and at both ends, have an appeal that you will never get tired of and that you will never want to part with the more you use it.
  3. The 14K all-gold nib is said to be a masterpiece, and the ebonite core is said to have good ink flow.
  4. The part that fits the butt shaft, which supports the piston, is made of resin instead of the current metal, so the butt section is a few grams lighter and less rear-heavy, which makes it well-balanced.

    The “old style” is quite different in detail from the “146” sold today.
    The differences are as follows.
    • Nib
    　All “gold” color (current models are rhodium-plated on the inside).
    　This type is stamped with “14K” and is highly regarded as softer than the current model.
    • Pen lead
    　Ebonite pen lead with a horizontal cutout.
    • Clip
    　The base of the clip has a “sloping shoulder” (the current version has an “anchor shoulder”).
    　The clip has a vintage look because it is the same as that of the “14X” model from the 1950s, when the “14X” line began.
    　Naturally, there is no serial number, which has been engraved since 1990.
    [Ink window].
    　The blue-gray clear window without stripes (stripes are available after the 1990s).
    • Neck Edge
    　Barrel shape (trumpet shape since the 80's).
    • Piston guide
    　Made of resin (current models are made of metal).
    　The barrel side is lighter than the current model, so it is said to be easy to use for long hours of writing.
