That's exactly what I thought may be the case but I too would like some verification. At the least I will ask MB about it on Monday.

 

thanks,

 

Rob

 

 

Have a look on eBay for a BIN early 144 converter. You may just be lucky.

Just thought I would report back so anyone else looking for this information might find what they need to know.

 

I was able to find a MB branded #16120 converter (pictured above with the green tip) and can state that, YES, it does fit the push fit 144 pen.

 

It was a bit more expensive than the newer threaded model, $18, but worth knowing I had the correct part. I am going to be purchasing a newer, #10019 threaded one in the future and see if that also will fit, making it adaptable to both threaded and push fit pens.

 

OTOH, MB customer service has been abysmal. It has been almost 2 weeks since I initially contacted them by phone and a week since they told me they are waiting to hear back from "our master craftsmen in Germany". All I wanted was for someone to tell me the correct part number of the converter for my pen. Instead, Montblanc Customer Service tried on multiple occasions to convince me that I needed to send my pen in to them to have a converter fitted. I'm sure that would have been a waste of my money.

 

I hope this helps someone else out in the future.

And to complete the circle...

 

The newer #10019 converter DOES NOT fit the old push style 144 pen. The hole is too big so it does not seal and it is too long, the body will not screw on all the way.

 

So the converter to seek out is the older, #16120...

      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
