[Montblanc owner and lover]

Interestinng topic! Thanks for having spent time on taking pictures and so on

And it confirm my thoughts (That the 149 is not a lot longer than the 146 but that the difference is mainly in the girth) and i didn't thought the difference of lenght was so short between the 142 and the 144...

I saw the Jinhao MSG series:

 

(l - r) 159 with beef

 

156 with pork

 

154 with chicken

 

152 with tofu

I didn't want to be a pig about it so I ordered the beef and chicken with wonton soup and steamed rice.

what I would like to see is a line up of:

114, 142, 144, 145, 146 (old) 146 (new), 147 and 149

that would be a complete set, wouldn't it??

Well, there is also 144 new and old as well as many different sizes of 146 and 149.

only if we could see them all side by side in one pic - wouldn't that be something!!

I do not have all of the variations, but this might give you an idea. Left to right: 114, 142, 144, 145, 146 (early 80's), 146 (modern), 147.

When I purchased my 147 Traveler, I was expecting it to be the same size as my newish 146. However, to my surprise, it is noticeably larger in all dimensions, a very nice substantial sized and writing pen. I do note that it was billed as a 'fine', by my knowledgeable seller, but to my eye it closer to a medium. Not complaining, just saying.

Once again I am confirmed in my belief that I do not need a 149, this is big enough. I agree with a previous poster, it would be nice to see a comparison photo of the full family of pens, maybe grouped by era.

 

PS- Looking at orfew's photo, maybe my 146 is a NOS pen from the '80s, not a modern one.

Does anyone have the size differences between the 1980s 146 and the later version? It looks like a longer cap.

 

Thanks

[farmdogfan]

It is a bit longer.

The first on the left is a early fifties 146.

 

[chas0039]

Thanks for the pictures but "a bit" is not what I was after. Do you have measurements in mm?
