Help Id'ing Impulse 70's Era Mb Fp Purchase Off Ebay


jPhoenix

Recommended Posts

I just pulled the trigger on this on impulse (See link below).

 

I'm fairly well versed in vintage Pelikans and Watermans, but not really for Montblancs.

 

This looks like a 221 to my amateur eyes, but the seeming lack of identifying marks throws me.

 

I didn't contact the seller because I impulse purchased. A little sickness I have.

 

I have no idea what kind of deal I got (ie, good price, bad price, etc).

 

I'm lacking a MB fountain in the collection right now, and this seemed an inexpensive way to get that going.

 

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

 

(Also, will any int'l converter fit this model?)

Please post responses here, as opposed to the double-post thread. Thanks so much, and my apologies for the other double posted thread.

I do have an item number. Here it is: 282400654293

 

And, here's a working link (the other link in the original post has also been corrected):

That looks to be the iteration after the three digit series that was called the Classic IIRC and came before it was renamed Generation. It used international standard push fit cartridge/converters. The price seems good and the only thing I know to watch out for were cracks at the corners near the nib.

Thanks for this. I appreciate it very much.

It looks to be in excellent condition. Good price, too. Congratulations.

 

Yes, any international standard converter should fit.

Unfortunately, the new MB converters are threaded, so won't do the job. But there are plenty of other brands available.

 

Good luck.

Let us know how you get on with it.

Due to the one cap ring it is the model no. 320(P) or 321(P) from the 1970th with a gold plated steel nib.

      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
