hari317 Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Hi, What information do you want, it is a great piston filler made by MB in the 70's. Nibs are typically excellent. BTW Congratulations, I was watching this auction. Are these pictures here taken by you? Best,Hari In case you wish to write to me, pls use ONLY email by clicking here. I do not check PMs. Thank you.

jar Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) Actually, I think it is more likely from the early 70s to about 1977. The 12x series replaced the earlier two digit models and the 1246 would be the heavy rolled gold version IIRC . Great pen. The earlier model would have been the 84 and had a black crown and base to the body. Edited July 12, 2010 by jar My Website Link to post Share on other sites
karmakoda Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 (edited) A Second Welcome to the FPN!That is a beautiful pen, one I have never seen before. One question, is the model 1246? or 124G? I have found a 124, with gold cap but not all gold. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your new-to-you Montblanc.It looks stunning.CheersGreg Edited July 12, 2010 by karmakoda Link to post Share on other sites
jasam Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 First of all That looks like a very awesome pen, they usually are great writing instruments, enjoy it! P.S. what information are you looking for? Link to post Share on other sites
talkinghead Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Model is #1246 , piston filler made between 1971-1977, gold plated, chased. The #124 probably was the precursor/sister model made between 1971-1973, made in Black resin with a gold plated cap. Basically the same pen, the difference being the #1246 has the gold plated barrel. Not a common model to find...Nice grab!! Source: "Collectible Stars" by Jens and Rosler.

Due to the feed this #1246 was produced between 1974 and 1977. Axel AxelMontblanc collector since 1968.

Brian Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Nice. A beautiful pen. Now is this something you plan to ink, or will it occupy a special place in your collection to be archived? Link to post Share on other sites
