Need Help Id'ing A Mont Blanc Pen (Newbie :( )

Preface: I had a Lamy AL-Star fountain pen I loved dearly. It wrote just the way I liked and was extra fine. My wife wanted to get me a new pen to replace my lost Lamy. (I told her the Lamy was cheap and amazing, but she didn't listen) She decided to get me a second hand Mont Blanc off ebay. While it skips at my normal writing pressure if you press even lightly on it, it writes so fat my letters start to bleed together.

 

Problem: I want to replace the nib on this pen with a finer one. I don't know if that is possible with this Mont Blanc because I can't readily Identify which pen it is (it might even be a fake)

 

There is some damage around the top where the gold leaf has come off the resin, also the pen clicks into the pen top as opposed to screwing into the pen top.

 

Can anyone help me identify what type of Mont Blanc this is? I know its a meisterstück but thats all.

I put a card next to the pen for size ref, same size as a credit card.

      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
