1910s Safety Question

[AcLondon]

Hi all, I'm back to pick this forum's brain collective... I'm trying to find some information about numbering on very early Montblanc safety pens.  I have now seen two pens numbered '204' that have all the features of being very early Montblanc safety pens (horizontal grooves on knobs and caps, early simplo co nibs etc).  I've a memory of coming across a 206 with similar features too.  These are number 4 and 6 safeties but with unusual numbering system.  I know there were 1950s and Danish pens with this numbering.  Can anyone point me in the direction of some information on these earlier ones?  I can find very very little about 20x of the 1910s.  Thanks, ac

Hi, thanks for the response.  I'm sure I'm missing something but neither of those pages as far as I can see make reference to the three digit imprints on these 1910s pens? Thanks, ac

Thanks again for giving me that link.  I think (and I could easily be wrong) that these 1930s safety pens are not related in numbering system to those of the 1910s.  Since I've discovered the two '204' pens from the 1910s, I've come across at least one '154' #4 safety from the period on penboard.de.
