Awesome posts! Thanks so much for sharing these. I love these series although I never really collected them as I focussed on the (slightly cheaper) school pens (Monte Rosa, Carrera, Caressa, Junior, Turbo, etc).

 

All great pens, enjoy the journey, cheers!

As someone who recently discovered a family owned Meisterstuck 12, I found this tread highly informative.

 

My Montblanc 12 appears to be missing the outer ink window (which seems to be rather hard to find anywhere online). Does anyone know if the ink window of No. 22 or No. 22 (or any other) would fit into No. 12?

 

Thank you so much for your help.

 

PS: Very recently I rediscovered my love for fountain pens, and this is my first post on the The Fountain Pen Network.

it should fit, but it'll be blue instead of the original amber.

Howdy! How challenging is it to swap nibs on these guys? I’ve been failing to find a “tutorial” online. Saw a 22 for an excellent price locally, but I am not a fan of M nibs. It looks easy based on the photos… but they are simply photos.

Very easy if one has a replacement nib.

Add lightness and simplicate.

Excellent! Thank you. :) I found a 22 with an M nib for a verrry low price, but I wanted it with an oblique, so I’ll just spend the difference on grabbing the appropriate nib!

 

Yaaaay, a girls gonna get her first Montblanc!

The original posts are a awesome source of information. Thanks for doing  them! This is my favorite range of MB pens, and I think underrated. Just picked up a 32s and this helped me to understand the models place in the big picture.

As was said not a big deal the replace the nib. These pens have lovely nibs and I can recommend the medium. These are stub like and wonderful to write with.

I have a line on a Montblanc 72, but I am confused by the fact that the piston knob lacks the gold accent ring. I have only seen one or two other examples of this in my Google image searching. Is this a normal variation of this pen (perhaps an earlier vs. later model)? Or could it be possible that the piston/knob has been replaced with a piston/knob from, say, a MB 22 or something? Thanks!

both of my 74 an 72 have the gold ring on the piston knob. I have a 224 that doesn't have the ring, but that is a different series and is matte finish.

Hi

 

of the hooded 12/22/32 series pen would be the larger in terms of length and more importantly girth  for the nib section.

      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
