Hi,

 

I just bought what seem to be a Montblanc 1246. However, it is not the typical 1246 I found in my research. Mine is converter/cartridge filled and has a 14k nib instead of a 18k.

 

My question is : is it still a 1246? Is it rare, what is it really worth (approximately in that condition).

 

Thanks a lot for your help

Here are the pictures.

How does it write? May we see a sample?

I don't think it's "rare" or worth a fortune.

That nib looks interesting. Could it be a B nib?

IIRC there were two versions at that time, the numbered with no suffix which were piston fillers and ones with a "p" suffix which were cartridge/converter. I have found 14K nibs on both the top end pens and the next two levels.

The problem is that I am not able to find any 1246 p with a 14k nib elsewhere. I was wondering if there was an other name for this particular model.

Hi,

 

But if it is a 22x model, what is it? I've never seen any 22x all gold plated like this one. It is typically 12xx that are all gold.

I'm guessing it's a 1246, but a 1246P. The 1973 catalogue here only has a piston filler but as the seventies went on they introduced more and more cartridge models as they became popular:

that's very interesting. There must not be a lot of these made because I am not able to find it elsewhere.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @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
