Hi to everybody.

 

I own a Montblanc #14 from my father and unfortunately the top cap is broken. I mean the screw piece that fixes the clip on the main cap, where the Montblanc logo is shown. I have the possibility of purchasing the same piece from a Montblanc #32 which appears to be pretty similar. As I have seen it in a picture (no the real thing) I would very grateful if someone could tell me if the #32 top cap fits the #14 one. You can see the piece in the attached file.post-8654-0-12548200-1487092008_thumb.jpg

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Víctor.

Hm, as far as I know there are two sizes of the old pens: the x2 and then x4. The x2s, like the 32 are smaller than the x4s, like your 14. So you might need a 34 top piece to fit on the 14.

 

But I can check this when I get home as I have both.

The 2 vs 4 is a length issue. The 2 is shorter than the 4. So I think the caps are the same between a 12 and a 14. Not sure between a 12, 22, and 32 though.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

The cap top of the 12, 14, 22, 24, 32, 34 are exactly the same size.

Not exactly, my 32 top is a touch smaller than my 14's, but the good news is the threads are the same. So to be clear to OP: you will be able to fit the 32 piece on the 14.

 

Any top piece from that era should fit. Here is my 32's piece on my montblanc 14. As you can see it's a bit small but fits fine.

Thank you all! Although I have been disappeared quite a lot of time, it is great to remember the sort of kind people you are.

 

I am purchasing the piece then.

 

Best regards.

 

Víctor.
