Hello to all of the community of FPN and the Forum of Montblanc, in the most attentive and respectful way I communicate to you so that they give me their experience in an objective way. I am a young man of 20 years of age with a great passion and admiration for calligraphy and fountain pens.But it all started when I saw a fountain pen from a distance the Montblanc 149 a beautiful and robust fountain pen that left me in love , I do not have it and I have never tried it on fountain pens I only have experience with Lamy my current favorite pen is a Lamy 2000 BB Modified to stub by Daniel Smith is comfortable and easy to clean and lubricate the piston, I love it. But I have always had in my interior that desire to obtain the 149 is the pen that for its beauty introduced me to this world of fountain pens, but I refrained from buying it for several doubts after reading bad comments. 1.-Some criticize the value of the snob but I do not want it, that's why I love it for its beauty and history. 2.-But the strongest criticism comes about the material of the famous "precious resin" that many users say is a cheap plasticthat breaks as easy as glass (I do not drop my pens) but some say that even begins to break without needing to fall.So I ask you esteemed users of these fountain pens how true is this?I ask it to clear my doubts. 3.-Others say that the current ones are of very poor quality and that they do not compare to the vintage, there is another thing that I have read and that is that the old models had a one-piece barrel and the current two, that affects something ? and equal to the ebonite feed.(I am interested in a 149 BB modern) So if it is a reliable fountain pen that is worth getting it?and how is Montblanc's customer service?
