What Mbs Are You Using Today?

Using my MB 144 and his brother, the ballpoint...

Pen is beautiful. I have a MB Meisterstuck 149 circa 1979. It needs a new Feed. I am having a difficult time finding one searching on eBay, Google or Montblanc. Montblanc is requiring that I send them the pen for a repair estimate; but I just need the part. It seems to be a user replaceable part. eBay and Google aren't yielding any results that look like the right style of Feed.

 

Any recommendations?

There are parts available on eBay. Here's one split ebonite feeder. Just do a search for "montblanc 149 vintage ebonite feeder part"

Great link. Thank you. I had missed this on my previous searches. Just messaged seller to confirm the year.

A lovely little 145 joined my collection a day or two ago. Fun little #5 nib. Very similar to Waterman CF or Hemisphere or Parker 45 in size. Looks like I have a short cartridge stuck in the bottom of the barrel..we'll see if I can remedy that. Still works with a short cartridge though!!

Beautiful.

There's an elegance in their simplicity. And it's a lovely colour.

Excellent daily users, too.  I carried one for years.

Congratulations.

Absolutely gorgeous! Which nib do you have in it? 

This is the F nib it comes with.

Thanks!  Writes well too.  If only I could take better pics to show the works done on this pen.

Seeing @Inkyways Solitaire made me think of one of my recent favourites I acquired before the end of 2024.

Very elegant @PJRobins

[Inkyways]

Agree @PJRobins This a solid elegant  pen. I like this nib on your pen ,rather than mine.

My pen nib is a Broad (left Oblique)stub. I am  not a fan of that. Planing to grind it to a cursive italic one day to see how that pen is going to be.
