I thought there were no MB’s for carts, which is why I’m looking for one... I thought the Boheme was a good choice but 5hen saw this; but being easily faked ( some of them) for the novice, I’m afraid to buy a MB. Want to try it’s nibs with an inexpensive one first. Looking forward for Additional Information that can help me form a decision . Thanks. This is for someone that wishes to have a MB at medical fair price.

I've never heard of faked semi-hooded 200-series, these just aren't popular and iconic enough I guess...

Hooded nibs are the best

I don’t mean this one, but the piston fillers... so that’s why we are looking for a cartridge/converter style.

The pictured pen definitely is a real Montblanc. Sold quite a lot of these. :)

I have also been eyeing the Boheme and the Traveler Do they accept standard cartridges? Noticed that the boheme comes both in rhodium or gold, and it seems rhodium is not so available... but I dont like the clip detail (jewel) , love the retracting nib. The choice for this friend is beween these two. What to look for?

Before 1990, Montblanc was not exclusively a luxury pen company. They offered student-grade pens in the Monte Rosa brand and Carrera model (the Carrera takes cartridges). They also had what might be called office-grade model lines, and when cartridges became popular during the 1960s and 1970s, they had both cartridge and piston-fill available. Cartridge models in their office-grade line of that era include 221P, 310S, VIP, Noblesse, Slimline (also marketed as S-Line), and then into the 1980s with the Noblesse Oblige and Generations models. Many of these models show up on eBay.

 

Lucky for fans of the brand, the Montblanc product designers originally chose to use what is now called the Standard International cartridge, because in more recent times, I suspect the company would consider a Montblanc-only cartridge to be to their advantage.

 

If you go to the photo dump (warning: many large images) at the following link and scroll down about halfway through the long webpage, you will find some Montblanc catalogs that show the 1970s pens that I'm talking about.

I had one of those, an inexpensive plastic cartridge pen, which was given to me by a German to get me hooked — I think it had a yellow body. Loved that pen, very unhappy when it was stolen. If you still have any NOS or “like new” versions I’d be seriously tempted. I don't know if it was office line or student, but he claimed it cost 7 marks. I think that was around $22.

 

PS> Still no idea what brand of nib is in my photo.

I don't have a Carrera, but they do show up on eBay a lot (though at prices a bit high for a student-grade pen).

 

The logo on the nib in your picture looks familiar, but I haven't quite gotten it yet. I don't think it's Scripto or Speedball.

      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
