Would one of our master craftmeisters like to try creating a custom replacement for the cheap plastic white star atop my MB 149?

We had a discussion in the Montblanc forum about the advisability of Montblanc itself offering this aftermarket replacement.

I think this simple aftermarket upgrade would really improve the looks of this classic pen.

How much for a shimmering, high quality, polished and finished MOP MB star for my 149?

That is a great idea!

I might be interested as well.

If it were not for the fact that MOP is severely toxic when inhaled as a dust, I would love to give it a try.

This is most likely why most artists do not work with this material any more. There is only one person who I am aware of who does this work, Lynn Sorgatz. You might want to email him directly and ask for pricing.

Cheers,
