Montblanc 221

[billyboylakers]

Hey,

 

I have a MB 221 w/ gold appointments and a black finish lying in a box, gifted from my uncle, never used. It has a F sticker and it and the nib says '585' and nothing else.

 

Now, I've never written with a MB and use a CdA Leman and Ecridor as my daily writers.

 

Would this pen compare with the F on CdA's?

 

Also, if I decide on not keeping this pen, what would it sell for? It hasn't ever been inked & is piston filler.

 

Thanks for any help

Can't help on width of line but the pen would likely sell of $90-100.00

I think MB 221 are not piston fillers but converter/cartridge and MB 220 is the same model with the piston filling system. The price could be around 70EUR for the 221 and above 100EU for a mint 220 I would say. These prices would be lower depending on the shape of the pen in question.

Well, my 221 and my 220 are both piston fillers. The 220 has a textured surface similar to the Lamy 2000.

I think the cartridge pens are called 220P / 221P (P = Patronenfüller / Cartridge Filler)

Does anyone know what converter the 221 uses?

It should be able to use the old style non-threaded Montblanc converter, or a modern Pelikan (or other Standard International) size converter.
