Need Help To Assert Authenticity Of Montblanc Pen

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

just joined the forum, this is my first post.

 

I have recently bought a MontBlanc fountain pen at a reputable antiques shop here in Switzerland. The seller told me it was around 20y old.

 

I have a few questions regarding this model and would welcome your thoughts as to its authenticity. I have attached a few pictures.

 

Here are my observations

1) The pen shows "Germany" and serial number "[DELETED]" on the top band of the cap (not "West Germany" so the pen is not older than 1991)

2) Engraved "Meisterstuck - MontBlanc" on the bottom band of the cap. No model number eg 146 between "Meisterstuck" and "MontBlanc"

3) No "pix" engraved on the underside of the clip

4) The nib is two-color, with "4810", the montblanc logo, "14K" and "Montblanc" engraved from top to bottom.

5) The tank is transparent when looked through light

6) Dimensions: 14.2cm capped, 12.4cm uncapped (approximately)

 

Am a bit concerned about the lack of "pix" under the clip and the absence of the model number on the band.

 

Curious to hear what people think.

Thanks for your help.

It is authentic. Is a 146 made after year 1991 but before 2001.

 

Lack of "pix" under the clip and the absence of the model number on the band are totally correct for this pen.

Looks like a legit 146, somewhere between 1991 -2000. So, no worries about lack of "pix" and the seller spoke truth.

Sleep tight, fill your MB with a correct ink and use it with joy!

      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
