From the related article (after auto-translated):

 

After Montblanc announced its partnership with the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie in April and will be the main sponsor for the next three years, the company has now created a special edition of the Meisterstück 149 fountain pen. The cap of the writing instrument made of black precious resin decorates an artistic engraving of the Elbphilharmonie. The red gold-plated feather decorates with the outline of the new Hamburg landmark. The special edition is rounded off by a black package with a sketch of the building.

The writing instrument is available exclusively at the Hamburg Montblanc Boutique at the Neuer Wall and the Elbphilharmonie Plaza Shop.

Thank you for going to the trouble of posting this information. It is interesting to see these rare pens. I am pretty sure I have read about Paris and Berlin having similar city specific MB pens too, but cannot find the information source now!

I found this Hamburg version really nicer than the Paris version. The different Paris' monuments are engraved in the ring of the cap and I don't like really much the nib they did. And for the Paris version it is a version with cartridge or convertor so not for me.

As much as I hate the idea of owning a pen that's associated with a political event (and especially with a politician whom I happen to hold in low regard), I must say that this one looks absolutely gorgeous. I can't take my eyes off it.

Yes the nib and cap are really amazing It is a shame that the one of Paris is not as much as beautiful this one.

[glittertinden]

Well, honestly, I exactly don't like the nib so much. There is something missing there, it looks so empty for me.

When I was in Hamburg two months ago im the MB boutique I was offered this pen (they were so proud), but I was absolutely not happy about that and I went home with a Heritage Tropic Brown instead. That was a good buy :-)

By the way, I am not paying attention to the fact whether Mrs Merkel or who ever is associated with these toys :-).

Thank you for providing this link.

From your link, and that provided by ThierryfromFrance, it appears that the Special Edition “Splendeurs de Paris” was issued as both a ballpoint pen (“bille”) and a 145 cartridge/converter fountain pen (“plume”).

This information is useful to me as I've recently been learning about the various city-related Montblanc Special Editions.

~ As a direct result of the helpful information and links in this thread it became possible to acquire this pen.

Being shown one of these tomorrow... Not sure if I like the cap, but the nib looks lovely. Depends on price to see if I can be tempted.

[georges zaslavsky]

Nah, thanks I will pass
