Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this absolutely stunning Montblanc No 146 Le Grand MEISTERSTUCK Fountain Pen in the 18K Gold Plated Barley 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 1990 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 AB101888".

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 18K Gold Plated Barley overlay and is in excellent shape with no gold loss or significant 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". 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 with a very smooth "semi-wet" (not too wet and not too dry but tends to be more on the wet side) and has a medium point measuring roughly .84mm when measured with digital calipers. When creating a writing sample, the NIB writes with a medium to broad stroke/line. The writing sample provided in the image has the medium stroke measuring at .64mm and the broad stroke at 1.14mm 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 - 18K gold plate overlay Barley fountain pens are incredibly difficult to acquire in today's market. I would grade this writing instrument to grade easily in Excellent to Excellent+ Condition. It is a fantastic-looking pen and a superb writer to add to your writing arsenal collection.

Beautiful pen from a wonderful seller

Received this pen yesterday, and it absolutely stunning. It was beautifully serviced and polished by Antique Digger and I couldn't be happier! Even more beautiful in person. More than happy with my purchase. If you have a chance to pick one up I highly recommend it. Especially if it's from Greg!
