PS: @ceac transitional model is a one piece barrel as far as I know

Great pictures Michael. Thanks for your time and effort!

That's a beautiful 14C monotone!

I'm so happy to have found this thread as I recently acquired a wrongly labeled pen with a fantastic nib I decided to keep. It's a 146, shorter than current models, grey ink window, and an 18c monotone gold flexible nib. The section has a collar and the clip is rounded. I wrongly assumed it was just a parts pen, but now I think it may be from the 70s-early 80s. (Maybe pieced parts from that era?) It doesn't really matter as I love the nib. I'd post a photo but I'm out of space here and didn't realize it until I tried to upload a photo.

Of course we would like to see pictures! Try using the "Upload" button on the top line under the Fountain Pen Network logo. This should solve the "no room" issue.

Thanks, BillH, I'll give that a try. The pen is currently inked with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Red so it's difficult to see the grey ink window.

Looks like a very early 70s/80s pen!

 

„18C“ (and not 18K) nib and straight (not angled) collar.

 

Nice :-)

 

Unfortunately I have not pinned down the exact dates for those pens‘ introduction and the mentioned changes.

 

At least you‘ll find changes from „C“ nibs to „K“ nibs mentioned for 149 pens during the early to mid 80s.

 

I hope you enjoy yours.

 

Cheers

Thanks, Michael. It'll be a while before I run several inks through it to ascertain which it prefers, but I'm very happy with this nib.

Wish to have one someday. Thank you for sharing fantastic pen!
