Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this absolutely stunning Montblanc No 146 Legrand MEISTERSTUCK Fountain Pen in the Barley Sterling Silver Overlay. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and now is in wonderful writing condition.

We can date this Montblanc 146 to circa 1985 to 1989 because this Montblanc has the W-Germany stamp on the clip, straight grip, single unit barrel construction, brass piston filler, and 18K bi-color nib. The cap clip ring banding is stamped, "W-Germany, Metal, and Serial Number HB108154".

This fountain pen cap and barrel are in magnificent condition with no chips, cracks, repairs, dings, or dents with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. This Montblanc has the Sterling Silver Barley overlay and is in excellent shape with no scratching - it has been cleaned and polished. The cap has the gorgeous Gold Filled Clip and Cap Banding. The cap banding is stamped with, "MONTBLANC MIESTERSTUCK No 146". On the cap side, just above the cap banding, the Montblanc sterling (925) hallmarks are displayed. The transparency of the ink-view window is "Water Clear". There are no monograms or personalizations on the cap or barrel. This Montblanc 146 Fountain Pen measures 5 5/8" in length capped and 6 3/8" posted.

The filling system was removed, internal components cleaned, and the piston seal was greased. I have tested the filling mechanism with water and fills as it should. The Piston Filling System works as it was intended to.

The Montblanc NIB is an 18K/750 Bi-Color NIB. The 18K Montblanc NIB likes to write "semi-wet" (not too wet and not too dry but tends to be more on the wet side) and has a medium/broad point measuring roughly 0.92mm when measured with digital calipers. When creating a writing sample, the NIB writes with a medium to double broad stroke/line. The writing sample provided in the image has the medium stroke measuring at .84mm and the double broad stroke at 1.27mm with medium to firm pressure when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Blue Ink.

These Montblanc 146 Sterling Overlay Barley Fountain Pens are incredibly difficult to acquire in today's market. I would grade this writing instrument to grade easily in Excellent Condition. It is a fantastic writer or just add to your writing arsenal collection.
