What Size Is My Nib

[QualityPens]

On my Montblanc Nib I have the letter E is this the size of the nib because on the box says size Mid

[zaddick]

E is not a nib width or size. MB does not mark their nibs. If you can post a clear and fairly close photo we can tell you the nib width for sure.

[QualityPens]

so what does the E stand for

[QualityPens]

i hope it is clear

[QualityPens]

so can you help me with the size from this

If you could get a bit closer to the tip, it would be easier to identify. From the shot you have posted, it's looking like it might be a Medium.

 

Is the 'E' on the nib, or the feed (the black plastic bit under the nib)? If on the feed, it's just a factory ident, means nothing.

 

If you are asking about the overall size of the nib, it will correspond with your pen size - eg a size 4 in a 144, a size 6 in a 146 etc etc. To find this out, post a picture of the whole pen.

 

We'll get there, eventually!

 

Enjoy.

That’s definitely a “M” letter which stands for Montblanc, not an E or Σ.

[zaddick]

That's am M nib an a Chevron solid gold 144. An expensive pen.

 

If you are referring to the M in the circle on the face of the nib that I'd for Montblanc and bot the nib width. It is how they have branded their meisterstuck nibs since the 1920s.

can you verify the size of the nib with this photo

[QualityPens]

How do i verify if its a 144 or 146

Guess my word is no longer good enough. Hopefully my esteemed colleague Freddy carries more weight.

 

If you have the box the model number should be 14409 where 144 is the model and 09 designates it is the solid gold version.

as you see the photo of the box model number 1469 so is it a 146 or 144

The main difference between a 144 and a 146 is that a 144 is cartridge/converter-filled (the barrel unscrews, revealing a small piston converter, and the 146 is piston-filled (there is a piston-turning knob at the end of the barrel). Your box label shows that it is supposed to be a solid-gold 146 with a medium nib (M on the label).

[QualityPens]

so this one is a 146 as photo ?

[zaddick]

It's the wrong box or the wrong sticker. The pen is a 144.

[QualityPens]

Thanks you are right but how did you be able l to tel ? just find my invoice

[zaddick]

The 144 is smaller, more slender, has a smaller nib, has no threads for a cap and no ink window. The last two are the most obvious, but for many of us the shape of the cap and nib are enough to tell.
