Is This A Mont Blanc 320?

[bisbob]

My wife finally found the Mont Blanc pen she bought many years ago. I'm guessing 25 or more years ago.

The best I could come up with in trying to identify it is a Mont Blanc 320, nib 585. I found a similar (identical?) pen on EBay listed as a Vintage MB, Germany 1970, for sale at $148.00.

Not interested in selling, just in identifying the pen.

 

Thanks for your help.

It looks like a 220/320 series pen. Some of them have a model number in the cap rim. You might take a look with a magnifying glass. Does that converter fit the pen?

I would say that this is indeed a MontBlanc 320.

They were produced with gold and gold plated nibs, and you have the solid 14k gold one.

This one is a cartridge/converter filled pen, and since you have the converter, you can choose are you going to fill the pen with ink from the bottle, or by normal cartridges.

As far as I know, they were made somewhere around the 1980's and are great everyday users.

A pen quite similar to this is a 221 but they have 2 gold plated rings/ bands on the cap, while this has only one and the whole nib area is pretty different.

The converter "fits" the pen.....but does not draw any ink.

No numbers in the cap rim.

I own a 320. It says so clearly on the cap rim, and it's a piston filler. Based on that, I'd say this is another model.

Your pen may be an early Classic which came after the 3 digit models and before the Generation.

I have a similler pen with 585 nib. But mine is a piston filler. And there is no model number in the cap rim of my pen.

I dont think its 320. I have one. It doesn't have the snowflake at the bottom. It could be Mont Blanc generation.

You are right. This would be Mont Blanc generation.

Sorry, haven't seen this very old thread before.

 

A "Generation" always had two cap rings. This one only has one. So it is a 320 from the 1970th. And as it is not a piston but a "Patronen"- fountain pen the exact number is 320P.
