Mont Blanc Fountain Pen

Recommended Posts

Hello All and Happy New Year!

In the process of research on MB pens, I came across this site.

I received a Mont Blanc Fountain pen as a re-gift, and I am trying to identify what exact model it is.

It is a real MB, of that I am sure. The nib says14K, and the words "Classic" and "Germany" and "Mont Blanc" are embedded on the gold bottom rim of the pen cap. I have the original box, and Personal Mont Blanc guide as well. In research, I came across a very similar looking pen located in the UK, and it was the No. 6510 model. I've posted some photos, in the event the community can help me ID my pen, as well as determine it's value?

Thank you so much for any help! Tom

First, welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell.

 

It sounds like you have a Classic, a plastic slip on cap Montblanc that was the third iteration of the slim MBs introduced in the 60s. The first iteration came in two sizes and three market segment levels. The second had only one size but still the three market segment levels. When MB reintroduced the 146 and 144 models the third iteration came in just one size and one market segment, as the entry level/student pen. The next iteration change the name again to "Generation".

 

They are all nice pens but the later models not particularly valuable. If it is in really good condition with the original case it is probably worth $100.00-150.00.

      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
