Looks like a cartridge pen (or converter) to me. Nice pen by the way!

[Guest JohanO]

It appears to me that this a rather obscure pen...

[ipse dixit]

It looks like a variation on the CS or slim line pens. There is a resemblence to the 1st generation discussed here:

If it is it is a converter/cartige pen.

To me, it looks more like a Parker 45 "clone".

 

Will international size cartridges fit?

 

Do you all think this was a good buy?

It's way too fat for a CS:

It looks almost as if it were a "school" pen based on the Classique or Generations style. It's almost certainly a cartridge/converter model. Even the seller claims to know nothing about the pen, but he says it's never been used. I think a price under $20.00 is probably more than fair for a Montblanc.

Can any one guess the nib size?

 

This is an interesting quest for the pens identity!

[Guest JohanO]

On Tuesday my Montblanc cartridge pen arrived. It is a great pen, IMHO, because it combines German quality and austerity in one pen. I consider it a Bauhaus design, although it is not as Bauhaus as the Lamy 2000.

 

The pen appears to have been barely used. The pen resembles the Parker 45 design, but it is a much sturdier than the 45.

 

The pen accepts international cartridges, and the smooth nib lays down a wet medium line. Perhaps it is a bit too broad for my taste, but I like the workhorse quality of the pen.

 

Maybe I will post a review of this pen, and I may even put it up for sale if the medium nib will remain too broad for me. But the looks are great!

Hi,

 

If you think of selling, I am right here with a trade deal since I don't have Paypal.

Hi Dillon,

 

When I looked at the pen yesterday, I thought this pen would very much fit your hand, because it is such a 45 style pen.

 

When I want to trade or sell the pen, I will contact you first!

Hi,

 

Well, I got it, and it has a chromed brass cap with a spring-loaded inner cap. The nib is a broad in the Carrera style. The cap is like that of a Carrera with a Generations clip.

 

I just bought a converter for it at the Montblanc Boutique and a bottle of green ink and Season's greetings.

 

Well, I will take it to the boutique next time to show the associate as I promised (not for identification) and will pin a 114 and 145 in one shot... Then I will buy a bottle of Bordeaux, Turquoise, Racing Green, Sepia, and maybe a few permanent blue-black and possibly a converter for my Carrera. Time to start saving!!!
