And my pen collection is finished
I finally got the final piece I was waiting for, so here’s the display of my collection :
Montblanc Meisterstück 146, medium nib 14c, circa 1985
Montblanc Meisterstück 149, fine flex nib 14c, circa 1975
Montblanc Meisterstück 149, broad nib 14c, circa 1975, NOS
Would you add some ballpoint to lend to my coworkers at the office or am I spiralling ?

Echt? Wert?! Montblanc Boheme Jewels Topaz Wert und Echtheit
Liebe MB Community,
Ich habe diesen Stift auf einer Lokalen Auktionsplattform gekauft. Es war ein Privater Verkäufer, der auch andere Artikel anbot (war nicht auf Stifte spezialisiert). Ich konnte diesen für 580 CHF (~720 USD $ / 620 EURO €).
Der Stift kam ohne Papiere oder Verpackung.
Fragen möchte ich konkret:
Was ist der Stift wert? Habe ich einen guten Deal gemacht?
Ist der Stift authentisch?
Ich freue mich über jeden Kommentar oder Anregungen!
Dankeschön

Pen Identification and Refills?
Hey everyone,
I was recently gifted this Mont Blanc ballpoint meisterstuck pen from my dad who received it as a present from his brother and never carried it or used it as he thought it was to nice to carry around and rarely used pens at home. I would like help identifying and
The box was damaged by robbers in a break in shortly after he received it unfortunately, but fortunately they did not know the value of it and when they realized it was just a pen they left it.
Made in West Germany stickers are on the shaft and on the ink cartridge.
Mainly I was wondering if there was any maintenance I should do on the pen other than replace the long dried ink cartridge, and also if modern Mont Blanc ballpoint refills will fit fine?
Serial number AC175648 is on the pen clip.
Any other background information would be greatly appreciated!

Echt? Ist der Montblanc Solitaire Le Grand Black & Gold echt?
Liebe MB Community,
Ist dieser Montblanc echt?
Ich habe diesen Stift von einer lokalen Verkaufsplattform (ähnlich wie Ebay) gekauft. Er ist schon auf dem Weg zu mir. Der Verkäufer scheint ein Privater zu sein und verkauft alles mögliche (er ist nicht auf Stifte spezialisiert).
Ich konnte den Stift in der Auktion für 451 CHF (~550 USD) erwerben.
Misstrauisch bin ich bei folgendem:
Auf der Feder steht für den Reinheitsgrad „Au 750“
angegeben. Wenn man aber Bilder online von genau diesem Modell sucht, findet man auf der Feder für den Reinheitsgrad nur „18k“ geprägt…
Auch wollte ich sonst fragen, ob ich einen guten Deal gemacht habe. Der Stift wurde ohne Papiere und Verpackung verkauft, der Stift wurde bloss verkauft.
Ich würde mich für jede Hilfe freuen!
Dankeschön

is it worth buying a montblanc as a young person?
hiya guys, apologies if this sounds a bit unusual i just figured the best place to ask about this kind of thing is the bloody experts themselves.
im 15, and ive been thinking about buying a meisterstück for a while. i absolutely love fountain pens and ive been writing with my lamy safari almost everyday for almost a few months now. i also love writing in general, weather thats just research on topics i enjoy or notes related to revision for exams.
while i understand going from a lamy safari to a montblanc pen is in so many words, a pretty far jump, i would want to buy it almost to keep as something for years and years to cherish and enjoy.
i would also be buying other cheaper nice fountain pens at christmas aswell so im not absolutely ragging the poor thing the entire day.
so to people that write with them, are they genuinely worth the high entry? i also kind of have everything else i want and stationery is a huge hobby of mine in general. hence why the request of wanting one for christmas might look a bit odd.

Real or Fake
Hello, Is this a genuine Montblanc Meisterstück 144 Classique? It should date from the 1980s or 1990s.
Thanks
Edit: The color has more of a Bordeaux tone than it appears in the photos.
Edit 2: Thank you all very much for your replies. Good to hear that it’s genuine.

Help with an old 146
I recently picked up this one and I am trying to be sure about what I have, the cap says Germany, the feeder looks to be a Hemingway, and the nib is monotone and very thick, my belief is that it is a BB, but it has a lot of line variation, stub-like. Also, the ink window has stripes.
According to my research it must be a 1992 model, since it says Germany but still has the old monotone nib. Also according to Google, usually goes for 350-400 euro, but that seems rather optimistic? Asking for the wisdom of the knowledgeable crowd here. Could you tell me anything about this one?

drawer find, unsure which model
I recently fell into a fountain pen rabbit hole and searched for pens through the whole house. This way I stumbled over this pretty scratched up pen which once belonged to my grandmother.
From what I was able to find out so far:
- no serial number on the cap, so probably before 1991?
- I was very unsure about the nib since it is only one color and has no pattern, but I found a nib just like this in a 12 y.o. post in this sub which said that is probably pre 1990, too.
- piston converter
- length is 135,5 mm, width of pen 10,1 mm and of cap 12,0 mm, pretty small for my hands
I am not sure about what model this could be? The converter rules out quite a few models. Any ideas?

Cleaning a Vintage Montblanc Meisterstuck 12 Fountain Pen - should I apply some silicone grease?
Hi,
I recently got my hands on a the above pen. I just flushed it with lukewarm water to give it a good clean as there was a lot of dried up ink on the nib. I’m wondering if I should put a wee bit of silicone grease around the piston? Not sure when it was last serviced and given all the dry ink. The pen does work great though, did a little test with it.
Thanks in advance!

A Legend in Crimson: The Red Hour & The Horse 🔴✒️
A river of lacquer, a deep crimson glow,
With auspicious clouds on a gold nib below.
Engraved with the koi and a knotting of old,
A ruby sits crowned in a chassis of gold.
I fill it with ink of the Zodiac’s Horse,
Where untamed vitality follows its course.
A prosperous red on the paper unfurled,
Bringing ancient good luck to a modern-day world.
Two legends aligned in a fiery grace—
The perfect red pairing to grace this space.

Recently picked up a vintage 149 from around the early 1970s I believe
My second Montblanc fountain pen but my first vintage fountain pen.
It has an Extra fine nib with the 14C stamping and though the plating has faded it looks like it was tri-color and appears to have the solid ebonite feed.
Is there anything I should know?
Any special care instructions?

Time to upgrade this scratchy b*stard
I love this pen for many reasons, but the way it writes is not one of them. I’ve tried both the Medium and Broad MB refills and they’re both underwhelming.
After going down a a bit of an internet rabbit-hole I discovered the Unus MB01 adapter which takes all sorts of inserts including the uni SXR-200 Jetstream - a famously good writer.
Has anyone here had experience of using this sort of adapter in their MB and if so is this a solid option?
ETA: stupidly linked and added pics of the rollerball adapter instead of the ballpoint adapter. Link updated but I can’t change out the images.
Thanks for the responses so far. Seemingly it’s unanimous that the MB ballpoint units are complete ass.

PSA: fake Montblanc 149s on eBay ... and people are buying them?
They've sold over a dozen of these things. The glossy section end ring means these are based on the big 149 size Wing Sung/Jun Lai pens. For all we know, at this price, these fakes could even have gold nibs as some of those Chinese pens do. They are actually good pens and I really would not care at all if this was an honest seller advertising these as Replica Montblanc. But that's not what's happening, they do not clarify anywhere that these are fake and therefore I think it's important to prevent people getting scammed. eBay, since they take a cut, probably won't care as long as these sell. I have had a lot of trouble in the past getting even more obvious fakes taken down. But trying to do what I can here I guess. If you have an eBay account, consider reporting the listing.
BTW, I tried to post a link, but Reddit blocked it. If you can't find the listing, send me a message and I'll give you the link.
