Please Help Me Id This Montblanc Pen. =)

[HermetiC]

It seems to be an authentic 144 from the 80's, but the ring at the end of the section has been moved from the original place.

Honestly, after looking at the photos once again I believe that it's not the ring ... its the inner feeder section that is not in the right place.

How could I assemble it correctly again? Wow guys, you've all been so helpful, thank you!

The band on the section looks the wrong way round to me. Is this possible?

I would not recommend you to repair it yourself... may be you can send the pen to MOntblanc or may be there are some repair experts here in the forum ...

Hi guys! I must say I LOVE this forum. Here in Puerto Rico there is little to NO support or service or anything for fountain pens. I've only seen ONE store which marks up prices roughly %20.

 

What store is this? To my knowldege, there are 3 stores that sell fountain pens in San Juan: two in Plaza Las Americas (Pen Shoppe and a watch/Montblanc dealer) and Art-Tek in Hato Rey.

I was wondering the same thing. I don't see how the metal band could have moved up the section?

Could the inner sleeve have come down, past the band? Could it be the inner sleeve we can see in the photographs?

 

If this is the case, it could be the cause of your ink flow problems, too?

 

Putting the sleeve back into position isn't too difficult - but, if you're new to the game, better get it seen to by an expert, or Montblanc themselves.

 

(This is all assuming that the inner sleeve has moved down)

 

Good luck.

I am now convinced that the band is back to front and that is what has prevented the casing from going all the way back into the section.

 

As Juanjavier has already 'confessed' to DIY / bricolage / screwing around (call it what you will) and may have been lucky not to break anything, he does have some limited experience and the nerve to 'have a go'. We know that the 'friction fit' is not jammed solid as he has already had it apart, so there is a good chance it will come apart again so that he can reassemble it correctly - if he so wishes.

 

If that is your decision, please post photos for the benefit of all.

Yes I see it now. The band is still in its correct position, but everyone is correct, the inner feed is sticking out past where it should be.
