Wtt: Montblanc 146g With Flexy Obb Nib

[The Dude]

I just got the pen a few days ago. I must say, it is the nicest pen that I have held; the construction of these 1940's/1950's 146G's are light years ahead of the modern ones. The brass piston makes it feel heavy, the nib is flexy and smooth, the pen is just awesome. That being said, I have come to realize that I am just not an oblique kind of guy.

 

This pen is the original model of 40's/50's vintage with celluloid body, original flat feed, 146G imprint on the piston, and OBB imprint with matching OBB nib. The cap rings can spin but someone like Tom on the penboard says he can fix it up easy, the ink window is darkly ambered, and there are minor surface scratches typical of a users pen of this age. Let me know if there are any other questions about the pen.

 

I bought the pen from FPN member Readymade, who bought it from FPN member Niksch, who I believe may have restored the pen but do not quote me on that, we would have to ask him.

 

I would like to trade this pen for a celluloid 146 with flexy EF or F nib, celluloid 149(not holding my breath, I know) or I will put it in as a partial trade for pretty much any of the MB writers series pens, or a LE 75th anniversary 146 or 149 with MOP star.

 

My apologies in advance for the crappy photos, my girlfriend took the camera for the weekend so these are from my iphone.

last try for a trade before I sell it outright: looking for celluloid 146's with EF/F flexy nib, 149's with long tine flexy nibs, MB writers editions, any MB with a MOP star, and any model Nakaya or Danitiro with a flexy nib.
