Montblanc 136 Problem

[jar]

you think to return it?

If you are uncomfortable with it, yes, return it.

[CS388]

you think to return it?

 

Yes, if you're not happy with it.

 

You mention (above) that the nib may be correct for the French market? I'm not an expert on this model, but I've never seen this nib on these pens. However, it seems that there are other parts which are not correct for this model and (unless this was made clear in the listing) this gives you the right to return it as unsuitable to your needs/not as described.

 

Have you contacted the seller and voiced your concerns?

 

Good luck.

I agree with Jar and CS388. This is a very personal decision.

If I loved the way it performed I'd definitely keep it.

I have not seen a nib like this on a 136 before. This definitely looks like a parts pen. If you want some more info on these, I did a YouTube video on mine.

Thank you very much for your advice and help.

I decided that the pen will stay itself, even if it is not kosher

However, this is 136!

Very, very thank you

I treasure all the mutations that I have in watches and pens and other items collected.

I just found out that the first series of Montblanc 136 produced for France from the late 1930s had nib 18ct model 35. At least nib agrees. reportedly from this period is the body. Cap is most likely from the year 1947 to 1948

Why I did not know before buying?

A little more and I'll be an expert on 136

 

Hello !

 

What you say about early 13X Montblanc pens produced for the French market is fully true. Some were equiped with previous old style nibs. Have a look at this bigger 138 model recently sold by the eminent French vintage pens specialist André Mora. Chef d'oeuvre is engraved on it, the French for Meisterstück and Masterpiece. It has an old style n°45 nib from the previous line. The 45 was the bigger model then.

So the nib on your 136 is 100 % right !

Its barrel and nib come from 1937/8. The cap indeed comes from some ten years later, a terrible period of time for human kind occuring inside this gap.

The barrel and clip are correct for th e 1930s period. You've already discovered information about the nib. The cap looks like it comes from a1950s 146 ad a cap 'dome' from a 1940s 136.

Hello niksch,

 

I have seen some 136 pens with these rings here on FPN, that means with the same rings as on the first 146s. They were the last ones produced as this was explained in some threads, I think in "An enthousiast collection - part 2.

 

IMHO though....
