Hello everyone

Up for sale is another one of my Montblanc 146 Le Grand fountain pens. The pen is in good working condition, fills and writes smoothly and can hold a lot of ink.

Features: - A smooth monotone 14 K F-M nib that offers decent line variation. (It creates a somewhat thicker line than my other MB fine nibs, but definitly thinner than the only MB medium nib I own, this is why I marked it F-M. Please see the video.)
- Split ebonite feed
- Clean bluish ink window. The pen is very well maintained.
- The word 'GERMANY' engraved on the clip ring, no 'Pix', no serial, black plastic threads - I assume it is a pen from the 1980s.
- Piston filling mechanism that works flawlessly, fills the pen with ease to its maximum ink capacity.
- Excellent writing performance. Please check the video to see how springy this vintage 14K nib is, capable of creating quite a bit of line variation.
- No cracks. The pen shows some signs of use, I think we can call it a user grade pen, please check the HQ photos.

Also looking for possible trades (I am mainly interested in vintage Pelikans and wet noodle vintage flex pens).
No box or papers.

I have some more 146 and 149 pens for sale, combined shipping is available.

I tried my very best to make decent photos and videos of the pen, Please check them as they are part of this offer and are the best way to describe the pen.

PRICE: $275, plus shipping (worldwide registered shipping with tracking number /signed for/ USD8).
Paypal, skrill payment - either one is fine with me.
As always, I am open to hear reasonable offers.

The photos and the video show the actual pen, what you see is exactly what you get.

I will ship within 24 hours after payment is received.

Hello is there a 'normal' 146 and a 'legrand' 146? Or are all MB 146es legrands?

Hey guys, thanks for your replies.

Although in my opinion the nickname 'LeGrand' is a relatively new thing, I guess we can call every 146 pens 'Le Grand' pens, just like you can call your 149 pen 'Diplomat'.

About sizes: the 149 is significantly bigger than the 146 (3rd digit refers to nib size in MB nomenclature).

Cheers
