Montblanc Stod Hallmark


NHsueh

Recommended Posts

I remember reading a thread about the Montblanc StOD hallmark and how it used to be SteOD, but I can't find the thread. I think hari posted some pictures of the old SteOD hallmark.

 

I managed to find on a Japanese website very clear pictures of the new Montblanc nib with the new StOD hallmark at: http://blog.livedoor.jp/whitestar_ftl/archives/27856922.html Maybe someone who can read Japanese can tell us what it is actually saying.

 

The picture below is taken from that website.

Very Interesting, thanks for sharing here. The pics are indeed clear.

 

BTW, here is the older thread that you were asking about:

An even clearer picture of the StOD hallmark can be found here, taken from Wheelers Luxury Gifts, an authorized Mb distributor in the UK:

I wonder why Montblanc would use the Spanish registry?


Does Montblanc manufacture in Spain possibly and ship nibs to Germany?

Maybe its registered in more than 1 country, just that only the Spanish one is named StOD in the database?

 

If you search for Montblanc trademarks there are thousands of them and some of them aren't named, unlike the StOD one registered by Montblanc Iberia.

 

I'm quite sure Montblanc nibs are made in Germany.

I recently got a new MB149 with a nib that shows the same markings: AU 750. My nib looks like the first photo (o0ic.jpg) at the top of this thread. The photos in my Service Guide booklet, however, show 18K.

 

I am confused about why the white cardboard box sticker shows in black and white: Nib AU585. These words are underneath the black Montblanc logo, and these words are above the black numbers 10577.

 

The sticker label and the nib markings are inconsistent.

 

Does anyone have any comments about this?

 

Thanks,

Thanks,

after a few decades, your box, papers and pen will be considered rare and valuable transitional 149 model. hang onto the pen and keep all the papers etc.

Good idea. My box, booklet, and nib are showing inconsistent karat descriptions.

Same here, btw.!

I just discovered it a few weeks ago even though I purchased my 149 in October or November 2013... the era of inconsistence started there, obviously... ;)

But still it is not clear for me what the letters stand for.

So what means the S, St, the O, the D?

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
