Hi,

 

First post so please accept my apologies if in the incorrect spot....not sure if I should even allowed to join the Forum as I only have one pen ! :)

 

I was given the pen several years ago and I'm intrigued as to which particular model it is.

 

After reviewing several post on the site I see many posts for rose gold 'limited edition' versions, oversize etc., but nothing that seems to tally with this - which I always felt was a 'small' pen.

 

Hope you can help from the imaged attached,post-135628-0-56573300-1490167539_thumb.jpgpost-135628-0-48615000-1490167552_thumb.jpg

 

Many thanks in advance.

Wellcome to the forum. And each of us has started with one pen. ;)

 

You don't have a "Limited Anniversary Edition 1924" in rosé gold but a "Special Anniversary Edition" in yellow gold which was produced in the year 1999 from January to December. The quantity wasn't recorded by Montblanc.

 

Nice pen for a start.

Hello and welcome to FPN. :W2FPN:

 

We can't tell exactly which model of Montblanc Meisterstuck 75th Special Anniversary Edition is it without seeing a picture of the pen without it's cap on. If it has a gold band in the centre it would be a 145 Classic model that takes cartridges or a converter. If it doesn't have a gold band in the centre, it could be either a 146 piston filler or a 147 cartridge filler :)

That's a 145 from the Special Edition 75 Years of Passion and Soul (so it is not limited in number but was only produced for one year) ... it was released in 1999 (not in 1989). The price of this Special Edition was only slightly higher than the normal edition ... I think it was 25 Euro (or so).

Doh, I failed to spot the 'small pen' reference!!! :blush: So it could only be a 145 :D

The 146/7 has a bit more of a belly in the middle and the star wouldn't cover so much area ;)

Also it should be closer to 146 mm long. :)

The dimensions of this pen are close to my mid-1990s 146, at 143mm capped. Note that the butt end of the pen in the photo is not at the 0mm mark of the ruler, but at about –5mm. The cap is about 15mm wide at the triple band, which also matches my 146.

 

Did you all take into account the small diamond that appears to be present in the clip band?

Good eye. I missed the fact it started below 0. It still looks more like a 145 shape to me.

 

The diamond was in all the SE and LE pens in 1999 on the cap top band.

Yes, all of us did. :D The diamond in the clip band denotes it as the Special Edition 75th Anniversary Passion and Soul, and we all saw it. Without it it's just a regular Montblanc Meisterstuck.

 

If you took the cap off and posted a picture of the pen we would know straight away which model it was. :D

I don't get it ... why is there any discussion?!

 

It is definitely a 145 from the "75 Years of Passion and Soul" Special edition. There is no doubt about it and its so obvious ... please do not confuse a new FPN member.

Even though I can't contribute to a pen identification thread I enjoy reading them to learn how to distinguish between pens.

Thanks to everyone who shared their impressive degree of knowledge and so quickly...

 

Chrissy seems to be spot on. I think it must be the '145 Classic' - see additional, cap-off photo. ( also has the converter )

 

Thx again.

      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
