Montblanc Stod Hallmark

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?

      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
