Gold Meisterstuck Fountain Pen

[meanwhile]

Surely it's worth paying a few dollars to get this pen valued correctly??? Even a valuation based on the model and a photograph would be better than asking here. I'd contact, say, Richard Binder or Berliner Antiques.

 

I agree. To heck with MB service. Buy a plain black resin MB 149 that is in great working shape, but scuffed up enough to fetch a lower than average price, and cannibalize the innards for your 149. Take it to a pen repair specialist and have them do it if you don't feel up to the task (it might be a simple disassembly, or it could involve adhesives which can get rather tricky).

 

I'm not a big fan of the iconic 149, but the full gold model must be a very impressive instrument to hold. And those nibs do write beautifully.

 

Actually, I was just thinking of getting the pen valued properly. But this rather bolder suggestion does make sense. But before buying another 149, I'd let a first rate independent repairer look the pen over - the problem just be the feed alignment or what have you.

I think the one on the fountainpen.de website sold about three years ago on ebay ~£2300 if I recall correctly, in new condition.

 

Modern Montblanc pens do not have the resale cache unless it is something rare and widely desirable.

 

As for replacement value an 02246 sell for approximately £8500 retail.

 

Hi,

 

may be a similar pen was sold at Ebay, but the one that is shown on my website is still in the collection of the respective owner.

 

Best regards

Also MB as a company is awful. They generally treat the costumer with disdain after the sale. Much like a used car dealers.

 

 

I have made up my mind to stay far way from them.

I've never experienced anything but exemplary service from them.
