Condition and information:
The Montblanc 146 Meisterstuck/Masterpiece model has always been one of the flagship Montblanc pens. Its the second largest pen Montblanc makes, second only to the 149 model. The pen embodies everything Montblanc stands for, amazing build quality, stunning timeless design and reliability. This pen model has been produced since the early 50s, and had undergone numerous revisions in the materials, filling system, nib and feed design, but never an overall or even significant form-factor change, the size and shape is nearly identical to its original design from 1950s. This pen here is considered the 4rd and by some the 5th generation of the 146 model. Made in early 1990s, this is the most reliable and refined pens until that period, with silicone cork and striped ink window. This provides for a very smooth piston action with great ink capacity, once filled it can last for months. Many collectors will say that these pens are probably the best in the world, with amazing timeless form factor and unmatched performance. The pen is made out of thick precious black resin, super shiny and scratch resistant, but also provides a great protection from cracks or damage. The pen fits perfectly in the hand, its oversize and heavy which provides for a good grip, feel and writing balance. The nib is amazing, large, and rare, a thick BB tip producing super thick line. Performs very smoothly and very precisely with perfect ink flow. The pen is in absolute mint condition, perfectly preserved, rarely found in such condition. Comes with a original box (not its original 90s box, but earlier version genuine Montblanc 146 box). A true Montblanc Masterpiece pen, simply the perfect fountain pen.
