Received this the other day, and with the little 'splat' intact at the bottom of the barrel ( my previous Montblanc, a 225 piston filler is missing that : http://pens.kbeezie.com/post/montblanc-225/ )

 

I'm *assuming* it's a 220P (P for Cartridge/Converter), but the nib/feed seems different from my 225 and the 220 Sbrebrown shows off in one of his video, both of which seem to have an encased/concealed feed. This one on the other hand is an exposed feed which comes right out the back of the section, nib and feed together.

 

Feels good in the hand, barrel is plastic, cap seems like metal with a black paint/lacquer of sort on it, has a nice recessed cap lip. Got the converter cleaned out and re-greased, it's opening seems to be made of the same soft silicone like substance that hugs the rear of the feed, so it doesn't go on tight but goes on well enough, and seems to be held on by the bottom of the barrel (all other standard international carts and converters I have, go on snugly)

I think that might be a 221 instead of a 220. The reason I'm saying that is because of the extra ring around the cap. I can't seem to find any 220s with that ring. That might also explain the difference in feed design. Definitely a beautiful pen, I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.

In looking around, that seems to be the case, any of the smooth 220s seem to be that way due to age and wearing down at the brushed body, and their caps seem to be flush with the body. And indeed the 2-ring cap seems to be for the 221. Just wish I knew roughly what production period it probably is.

Very nice looking pen - I will write the model of that one down and keep my eye out.

      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
