Help Identifying A Vintage Pen

[asegier]

I'm having trouble identifying a pen that was found in an estate. The seller says the cap band only says "Montblanc" and "Germany". When I asked if there are any engravings at the tail, he said he could not find any. My familiarity only goes so far as to some pens in the 1950's, but I can't seem to figure out what this one is. Any thoughts?

321

Thanks jar!

 

So I took a look and saw you have a 221. Is yours a gold nib? And this pen should be from around the 70's right? Do you have any experience with the pens from this era in steel nib? I believe this nib is steel as it doesn't have the "585" stamped on the nib. But the website http://parkerpens.net/montblanc.html states that the 321 is a 14k nib. I shouldn't have to worry about any possible fakes should I?

 

[Edit]: I realized that the site doesn't strictly state that the 321 has a 14k nib. Meaning that steel also exists, which makes sense for the economy line

 

[Edit 2]: Do you know where I could identify the nib width of this pen? The seller can't seem to find any notation on whether the nib is a Fine or not (I am only interested in a Fine)

It's likely a gold nib even if not stamped. I haven't seen any fakes yet. And nib width is determined by mark 1 eyeballs I fear though sometimes stamped on the piston knob if a piston filler. They also came in cartridge filler which would make it a 321P.

Hmm, I didn't know it came as a cartridge converter as well. Would you happen to know what type of cartridges would fit? Cause if I do purchase this pen, I would definitely want to fit in a converter so I can use my own ink. Let me ask the seller to take off the barrel as I realize that I do not see a ink window in this pen. That's something I completely overlooked.
