Meisterstuck Solitaire 144Sp Sterling Silver Fountain Pen

[carandache]

I recently purchased a new Montblanc 11738 fountain pen without a box or any papers. As far as I know and it looks, it is a 144SP sterling silver.

 

What do you think about this pen? Although it's not a piston filler and being a little small in size, it seems to fit well in my hand when posted. I also can't see any differences from a 145 classic other than lacking threads on the barrel. Any info and comments deeply appreciated

In my humble opinion, that pattern is the best looking of the sterling solitaires that Montblanc made in the cigar-shaped Meisterstuck line, and I have (and had) other sterling solitaires. I have the piston version with a BB nib, and it's a keeper.

This pen was my 2nd ever MB, bought used. The weight is just right for me, has a M nib and I like using turquoise ink. I go back and forth between posting & not posting.

I really like the look of MB's in sterling silver, mostly saw this or the barley pattern, I preferred this one (later, I ran across the Pure Silver pattern and it's my favorite).

Enjoy the pen!

I think the one on the left is the most beautiful Montblanc ever created in all time. Brings a smile to my face every time I use

I'd also prefer one with a piston filler but I had a very good price for this one, but I still envy you Fred

 

Mine also has a M nib, FPbliss; and I filled it with the toffe brown ink and I'm now thinking of trying the golden yellow ink. I hope to keep it for a long time

 

I strongly aggree with you Chu0009 as these solitaires look very classy. At first, I was (mistakenly) worried whether they looked outdated but I am deeply in love with their look now. Most probably, my next purchase will be a solitaire gd can you tell what size the one on the left on your picture is?

The left is MB GD, it's based on 146. The cap is longer and wider than a standard 146 but smaller than a 149.

Thanks a lot. It's a reaaly gorgeous pen. I didn't know they made such an intermediate size and I couldn't deternine the pen size by the image. I know MB produces some bigger-than-146 solitaires but it's nice to know about GD. Dou you know if there are any other sizes for GD?
