If you don't want to break the bank look at ebay germany. Lot of ''user grade'' MB 12/14. 22/24 are generally available at reasonable price(auction format). Got two 22: one broad, one fine for less then 100$ a piece. Just make sure the seller accept paypal(lot of ebay germany sellers use direct bank transfer) and that they ship worldwide.

Thank you, I will look.

I bought my 14 on Ebay. It is a great pen. Mine also came with a lovely leather 3 pen case, the original instructional papers and warranty. Total cost was 200.00.

Thanks Peter for these informative videos! I actually purchased the MB 12 over at Geeks after seeing one of your videos. These are definitely of another era... fits in with the Imperials, Parker 51/61, Lamy 2000. I also like the fit in the hand. I don't require a big section or a large pen. This is a really light pen and I could see this being an advangage over long writing sessions.

 

The MB 12 reminds me of a child a Pilot e95s and a vintage Aurora 88.

 

Also I had no idea that the Montblanc 12 came apart when I bought it - so when I saw your video I was blown away and delighted. I'm not peachy keen on sending pens out for maintenance unless really necessary so even if I might pay a little more money initally for this piston filler - and its still not a lot - I think the fact that I can totally strip it any maintain it.

 

These videos should be required viewing for any prospective MB 12/14 purchaser, or anyone thinking about purchasing the other "lower end" models from that era.

Remember the 12/14 were not lower end, they were near the top.

Thanks Jar. That's right. I didn't mean to infer that the 12 or 14 were in the lower end, but there were other pens that were considered lower end like the 22 or 34. I think the MB 12 & 14 are classified as Meisterstruck.

 

I love these historical docs.

 

Interesting to see the Lifetime guarantee. Is it the Meisterstruck pens that would get a lifetime warranty? Parker and Sheaffer had to give those up years ago I think. How long did they keep up the lifetime warranty.

 

The OF nib for the MB 14 piqued my interest.

 

The vast assortment of inks for sale offered is interesting to note.

They were still using the term "Lifetime Warranty" as late as the 60s, maybe even the 70s.
