White gold nib?
Deirdre
Steel nib. Same nib seen on this 342.

Edited to add: I'd buy from a seller not advertising it as a 14k nib!

I just don't buy any pen from Israel - too many shady deals from there (same goes for Thailand for me). But you already knew that, I'm sure...

That's the same guy discussed in this thread. You commented there, so I wasn't sure whether you noticed, but... In any case, I wouldn't believe anything written in his item descriptions. I mean... "Montblanc partner Esterbrook"???

Yes, I know it is the same guy but this one says it is a Montblanc but it does not have the proper dome or clip on the cap and so I wanted to see what was up by asking the experts here at the MB forum. I was pretty sure that nib was stainless.

He also wants to open the bids at 79 dollars with almost 20 usd for shipping

Yeah, well, he can want, but it's not worth that much for a frankenpen. One in good condition with correct parts would go for about that. Here's a good example of a correct clip/dome.

Agreed. I had a deal from Israel months ago. The seller appeared courteous in emails and communication, but the pen came as a one not writable.
