The only Montblanc I have other than this one is a 225 Piston from the 70s ( http://pens.kbeezie.com/post/montblanc-225/ )
This newest one has nearly the same kind of nib style, but it's feed is exposed (as opposed to encased like my 225), the ends are flat (like my 225), it's a cartridge/converter with a nearly identical connector to the back of the feed as the 225, but easier to disassemble by hand since once I unscrew the clear part with the ink window and clutch ring I can just slide the nib and feed out the back of the section.
I'm guessing the nib is from the 70s since it simply says "585" as opposed to having the Montblanc logo like some of the newer ones.
So my best guess is 221, since I initially incorrectly identified it as a 220P (which would be matted/brushed).

Accurate identification would be appreciated. The modern equivalent seems to be the Generation (which is similar except the ends are rounded, the nib housing is more curved, as well as a couple others small differences).
