Thank you so much! What do you think the approximate value may be? I have been searching for quite some time for info and have not found a similar Montblanc. I would greatly appreciate any additional information. My husband had several Montblancs in his collection and this one has me perplexed. Thank you again.

About 150$, if it is in mint condition.

 

Wow!! :yikes: Haven't been in the market for one of these for awhile or have tried to sell one.....prices have dropped then.....alot.

 

Seems to have a striped ink window but still a monotone nib (is it14C/18C or 14k/18K??)That would date it more to the late 70's/early 80's.

Nib could also be tarnished a bit and be a bi-toned nib, hard to tell from one picture. That would date it later still into the 80's

A picture of the feed might help date it better.

Thank you Talking head! The nib is stamped 14K MONTBLANC 585 and definitely monotone. I have attached a better photo of the nib. Again thank you so much for your help.

Late 70s to very early 80s and more like $200-225.00.

Agreed. 150.00 is far too low a price for this pen. Assuming that it is in top notch condition. Also, these monotone 146s are great writers.

If you posted a picture of your feed....some one would have more luck in dating it more exactly.

 

I'd not have to try to photograph my 'new' mono tone gold 146 from about that time. The feeds ...the under part of the nib, can date MB's.

 

I have read the pre'76 have a better nib than the post '75.

 

Mine is a true springy regular flex.

If Mint in Box, count 250-350$

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
