After some infos on the original celluloid Meisterstück 149 pens I added part II today to my blog with some info and images of the early 1960s resin pens:

Wonderful article thanks for writing and sharing.

 

The piston seal on the 1960 pen has a larger OD than the next one with screw fit filler. This info might be a good addition to the article if it can be incorporated.

Thanks Michael. A helpful addition to the knowledge base. I can't wait for the dark period of the 1980s when greedy yuppies brandished the 149 and a sword in corporate takeovers. :D

Michael - maybe i missed it, but there was no distinct mention of the length increase between Celluloid and resin 149s. Also, you mentioned that the 149 clips from the celluloid pens are unmarked, but they should have an "XX" on the underside of the clip facing the pen.

 

Not meaning to nit pick, just wanted to add more detail to your fine work.

Earlier this year i was gifted an "old" version of the 149.. with these blog posts i've learned so much about it!

I'm now trying to determine the year of it...

 

It doesnt have the serial number on the cap

The feed is ebonite (i think... its like a bone) with no slits

Made out of resin...

 

Anyhow, thanks for the great plethora of information!

Thank you for all of your nice comments and helpful information which still is missing!

 

@Hari: yes, I remember your contribution to this forum on this. I will add this to the next article!

 

@zaddick: good points! I will put some details about dimensions to the next part. Also I was a little bit lazy on clips, clip imprints and cap bands imprints so far. I have a 70s model and building another one "from scrap" (=parts) at the moment but I still need to look deeper into the typical 80s and 90s models.

 

In case you can think of other interesting information on the 149 series of pens let me know :-)

 

Cheers

      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
