LeGrand and 146

[Sirius33]

Hello Everyone,

 

New to this forum and a happy return to the MB family. By that I mean that my MB FP and BP pens were stolen in a move a few years ago. I replaced the BP last year and recently purchased a LeGrand w/ a fine nib.

 

So...my question is: is the LeGrand the same as the 146? I cannot find anything to suggest an answer either way on the MB website, and an internet search produced nothing.

 

Thanks in advance and I look forward to joining the discussions and growing my collection.

 

Cheers

Yes.

Actually, 'le grand' is something of a misnomer for the 146, as it's the medium sized of the Meisterstuck models. It would be much more apt to call the 149 'le grand'.

Good point and I would refine a bit further --- perhaps for tradition's sake the 146 keeps its extant "Le Grand" name and the 149 becomes "Le Plus Grand".
