Just putting this out into the universe in the dim hope that someone out there hears...

 

Montblanc, if you were so kind as to re-release the green striated 146 you may have my moneys and/or one (or possibly both) of my kidneys. Please and thank you. :D

 

Seriously, how gorgeous was this pen?! I'm actually surprised that it hasn't had a recent re-release. Surely I'm not the only one smitten by this pen...

Get in line behind the "we want another 139" folks. :)

 

I agree it is a lovely pen though. I'd like it in the modern 146 size.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

Contact Max on the forum. He has some old striated green celluloid and basically gets vintage 50's parts and builds them new. I have seen them in pictures and they absolutely stunning from a true "artisan" recommended by MB itself!

They are wonderful pens - I have the 142 version - but has the passage of time meant that a cure for the ambering of the barrel been found? I am assuming it has something to do with the properties of the celluloid reacting to the hand so it probably cannot be fixed. I would be devastated if I had a "brand new" pen that went amber...

See here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/264057-146-green-striated/

 

We also had discussions with MB in the past (old members "varmas", "Fredrydr", "Niksch" etc were the front men..) about bringing back the Green Striated. Got as far as trying to source the green striated celluloid from current manufacturers....eventually MB said no. There was a thread here in FPN maybe 5-6 years ago, or longer, concerning this effort (can't find the archived link for it now). We even had a "pre-payment list" going since the production of this re-issue would have been really limited in numbers. Ahhhh.......those were the days of the MB Forum in FPN... :unsure:

I was lucky to get one of the green striated 149 from Max, absolutely stunning pen. Unfortunately, his stock of rods was limited, so production was very limited.

Dear Rick,

hopefully something like this can be revived. We were so close then MB threw the spanner in the works. Those were the days indeed.

 

Stay well my friend,

What happened to Niksch? He used to be on the forum back in the day but haven't seen anything from him in months!

I found the picture of the 149 from Max. That is the only one he made (unless he made more before 2014). I am even more in awe than before.

 

Amazing pen.

AFAIK, I believe he decided to step away from FPN for a while. Not sure where else he was hanging out...

Niksch is alive and well. Just not into pens as much these days. On to different things in life. He does send his regards to the forum!

Glad to hear that. When I first joined FPN, he was like a 'guru' - ie. he seemed to know everything about the pens I loved and generously gave out information and advice on repairs and maintenance etc. (He also had a very impressive collection of vintage Montblanc pens, iirc.)

 

Thanks.

I spoke to the original source at the 2015 Philadelphia Pen Show, and the celluloid manufacturer is D.O.A. By coincidence, for the first time, I had on my vendor table that gorgeous striated green 146 we had used for this project. Had I stayed 'til Sunday, it would have been gone. See it at Baltimore.

146 green striated, made from old parts and original MB Celluloid of the 50´s. Never filled with ink, for this reason we have no discoloration of the Celluloid. Only to show how it looks. This one is sold, but I will offer one or two others in the Mall during this week. Of course a piece like this has a price...

No, only if I need a spare part for a 144, like a barrel or something like this.

      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
