90 Year Anniversary Pens Back On Mb's Website?

[Valdair]

Weren't these debuted two years ago? Why are they showing up again now? Also, I thought they were more expensive than their normal Meisterstück counterparts, not the same.

Even the Skeleton 149 is back...

Two weeks ago I asked at a Beijing Montblanc boutique to replace one nib for another, long after the original purpose purchase.

I understood that it would be necessary to pay a full nib replacement fee.

As the 149 nib in question was a 90th Anniversary, I supposed that the replacement nib would be in rose gold but not 90th Anniversary, given the elapsed time.

However, two days ago I received a text message from the highly competent and helpful China World Trade Center boutique sales representative that the replacement nib would, in fact be 90th Anniversary.

Such unexpected positive news brought a smile.

Therefore the news and links you've thoughtfully posted above are further corroboration that 90th Anniversary nibs remain available, to one degree or another.

Hi Tom. MB keeps a stash of nibs for most pens, even limited and special editions. As late as 2014 I has a 75th anniversary LE 1924 146 that had a nib swap with a brand new rose gold 75th anniversary nib.

Product shows as unavailable for me, but I bet you can still get one from MB new.

 

They seem to keep some products in the store even when they are sold out. I have noticed this with the inks especially.

~ Hi, zaddick!

 

Thanks so much for letting me know that.

I didn't realize that and the boutique staff was somewhat uncertain, although optimistic.

It's very good to know, although I have no present plans for any more nib exchanges.

There are three Meisterstücks now out for nib exchanges.

When they return, I may present handwriting samples from one or two of them.

I really appreciate this information.
