First Glance- Could It Be A Solitaire?

[kuli1961]

Hello,

 

I am thinking of bidding for one allegedly MB Solitaire. Do not know anything about it-whether it is Solitaire 146 or smth. else. Also, do not know whether it is cartridge converter. In fact, I do not know almost anything. The only data I dispose of is the seller's info that on the cap clip ring it's written "cp1058546 germany metal 2". I'm very confused with this "2"- it could be seller's typing mistake.

Nib seems to be 2 tone, 14 K/C....The seller's know even less, because he constantly writes "MEINSTERSTUCK" (note letter "B"). I asked him several questions-about the nib, filling system, date and stamp on the last page of the Service guide, etc.... I am waiting his response, if it happens at all.

At the first glance, pen looks genuine, box and papers (font, colour) too. Snow flake, hm,,,somehow it's peaks look too narrow.. I do not know.

I apologize for the baddest ever size and clarity of the enclosed pictures, but it's impossible to make/enclose them in any bigger/recognizable size.

 

Please, at your respectable first glance- could it be a Solitaire, and if not - which model it might be, assuming it's authenticity? For this occasion- neglect Pelikan which is near this MB.

Thanks for any reply.

One seems to be a solitaire, too small a picture to see if it's a 146 or not, the other seems to be a pelikan.

Jsolares, thanks!

Yes, pics are too small- I couldn't convert anyhow to a visible size. My apologies! Also, Pelikan isn't "at issue".

Assuming it's 146 (original pics tells me the same)- it should be piston filler, right? Not the converter? I have one 146 Le Grand from early 2000, black resin- it's a piston...

If it appears it's converter, should I give a "pedal to the metal" and run out from this auction (fake fp)?

Gasmist just posted this as a thread entry requesting that ID of the pen. It's a Solitaire based on the section. Not a Legrand/146 size pen. C/C filler.

Thanks, Niksch!

Yes I saw gasmist's post. Maybe it's a language barrier on my side, he wrote: "Here is the link to the site I am trying to sell it on, it has 10 pictures." and posted local, Bosnian trade web site address...Also, in his profile, there is a Brasilian flag, and statement that he's from Brasil....

My understanding of all of that is that he's a seller, but my conversation at this local site was with a person with a different nickname, living in one town in Bosnia....

Nevertheless, I may be wrong (if so, apologies!!! no hard feelings on my side), but pen clarification is at stake, right?

Metal 2 is absolutely correct, and not a typo
