Hello everyone, Can you please help me with the authenticity of this Montblanc 149? I found it at a local vintage seller at a good price and I don't have the experience to give a good opinion. This is my first luxury pen purchase and I want something classic. Also any opinions on the...

The first time I saw the 149 in a review, I seriously couldn’t get the hype. It looked uninspiring being a boring round top pen with gold trim albeit with a breathtakingly beautiful gold nib. I’d always wanted to try the pen if not, just for the nib. When I got around to finally trying it, at my ver...

Hi all. Would you help me to compilate a list of pens that have a #8 nib, that is to say, the size of a MB 149 or Pelikan M1000 nib? I am interested in both vintage and modern pens from all over the world. Of course, if you know where such a list exists, just let me know. Thanks. MB 149 Pelikan M1...

Dear friends, I recently acquired a MB 149. My first 149 with a fine-ish nib marked 14C. I am intrigued by the cap of the pen. And have the feeling that the cap and body are from different areas. Being no expert on this, I thought to draw upon the collective wisdom of the mem...

I've recently bought a brand new (still in store) Montblanc 149 90th anniversary. Though the pen writes great, there are significant issues with it. Immediately after purchase I wanted to refill after I had done it a first time, but the second time the piston refused to work. It wouldn't screw down/...

Hi guys, my first post here! I intend to buy a Montblanc Meisterstuck 149, and have an interesting offer for a very old unused one. However, I need some help from the experts here to date the pen correctly. The seller says the pen was gifted to his grandfather some time in the early 70’s...

Mb 149 Calligraphy, Comparison With Other Mb, Pelikan M1000, Disassembly And Urushi
MichalK posted a topic in Montblanc
I'm cooling down after excitement of being featured by Stephen Brown in his channel so I got back to work Montblanc Meisterstuck 149 (including Calligraphy Special Edition) in my new video. I am lacquering three 149s with urushi right now so I decided to show the pen closer. Including a special ed... -
The (Japanese) Elephant in the Room Pilot Custom Urushi I won’t bore you with the specifications, basic descriptions, or construction components of this pen, because they have been covered in other reviews of this pen. Instead, I’d like to tell you how I feel about owning this pen, which I rece...

Hello everyone here at FPN. In the past I shared with you a thread in which I expressed my desire to obtain Montblanc 149 since for me it had always been a pretty beautiful fountain pen that from my children I longed to obtain. The price of a new MB 149 is high, so I decided to get a used one to...

Hi All, Got a MB 149 filler nob with a broken helical rod still in it but broken so there's only about one inch left still fixed to the inside fixing. I can still see the C clip in place holding the remains of the old helical rod. Does anyone know how I can replace the old broken helical rod wit...

Hi all, Righto. I bought a second hand 149 as you do. It's probably late '80s and likely has been sitting in a drawer for the last decade or so with dried out ink in the nib, feed, and inside the reservoir as they do. I've been flushing like a mad fool and am still getting ink coming out, whic...

So I got myself my first Montblanc, a used 149, and from what I can tell from the post with dating it, the pen was made between 1984-1985, and this pen had a nib very misaligned with the feed, a real eyesore. I don't know how good it wrote like this, because the pen was full of dry ink and since I w...

Okay, guys. I cant catch a break with Montblanc and this one really REALLY hurts. Like seriously gives me chest pain. I have a 1964-69 Mb 149 with all original parts. It writes well and I was surprised about how great the condition was until I noticed ink on my thumb. I couldnt figure it out un...

Is Montblanc 149 As Robust As A Pelikan M800 Or Lamy 2000?
rammarur posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Hi all, I have decided to take a plunge into the world of Montblanc. I always loved the aura around the 149, at the same time concerned with some of the feedback that the cap lip is prone to cracking, so is the barrel at the joint where it attaches to the section. I had a chance to try out the... -

Some of the big Montblanc box sets include an ink bottle with the pen. The ink bottle will sometimes say "149" in a text that looks like handwriting. Does anyone know what year that set was made?

I just purchased off of the fountainpennetwork classified a Montblanc 149 from the "1960's". It has a 18C nib, two-toned, which I have not seen written about anywhere. I have not received the pen yet, but I am concerned that the only information that I can find on a two-toned 18C nib is from shira...

Hello all: I just bought a Montblanc Mesiterstuck 149, and I would like any help in identifying it as fake or not. I saw this pen on Amazon last Thursday listed as used for $409.00, and since I have a prime account I would get a discount on shipping, so I sent the seller an emailing asking if i...

There have been many threads here listing the “flagship” pens of various well known brands (see this, this, and this). I’m posting this simply to organize the information a little bit more attractively. To be clear, I define “flagship” as follows: A “flagship” pen is a regular production model (i...
