Hi,

 

I recently acquired this pen, which, according to the imprint on the piston knob, is a 146.

However, it seems to me that this is only part of the story. The cap looks more like a Danish 246 (I live in Denmark, and I purchased it here)... And the nib is a single-toned gold #6.

 

So, the question is whether this is indeed a 146 - or if it's actually two (or more) Montblanc's. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your second guess is correct. It's a 146 barrel with a 246 cap.

That's my guess as well. I think that this is two pens... A 146 barrel, with a cap and nib from a Danish 246. I don't know if there's a difference in the feeders from those two pens that would let me figure out which of the two it's from...

I was about to say that the nib and feed looks wrong for the barrel, but 'farmdogfan' said it for me. :)

 

It may be a 146 barrel and 246 cap, nib and feed. :)

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
