Hi,

 

I just bought what seem to be a Montblanc 1246. However, it is not the typical 1246 I found in my research. Mine is converter/cartridge filled and has a 14k nib instead of a 18k.

 

My question is : is it still a 1246? Is it rare, what is it really worth (approximately in that condition).

 

Thanks a lot for your help

Here are the pictures.

How does it write? May we see a sample?

I don't think it's "rare" or worth a fortune.

That nib looks interesting. Could it be a B nib?

IIRC there were two versions at that time, the numbered with no suffix which were piston fillers and ones with a "p" suffix which were cartridge/converter. I have found 14K nibs on both the top end pens and the next two levels.

The problem is that I am not able to find any 1246 p with a 14k nib elsewhere. I was wondering if there was an other name for this particular model.

Hi,

 

But if it is a 22x model, what is it? I've never seen any 22x all gold plated like this one. It is typically 12xx that are all gold.

I'm guessing it's a 1246, but a 1246P. The 1973 catalogue here only has a piston filler but as the seventies went on they introduced more and more cartridge models as they became popular:

that's very interesting. There must not be a lot of these made because I am not able to find it elsewhere.

      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
