I'm selling one of my 149s. This pen is in great condition aside from two things: the piston stem is broken and there is an engraving on the cap.
Brand: Montblanc Meisterstuck
Model: 149
Type: Fountain Pen
Nib: 14k Extra Fine
Feed: Split Ebonite
Condition: Broken piston stem and cap engraving “C Edward Hayes III”
Serial Number: EB108260
Approximate year of production: 1985-1990
Includes: Pen only. No box or papers
The nib is in great condition and writes very well when dipped. It does not need to be adjusted. The barrel of the pen has scratches from normal use.
The easiest options to have it fixed:
1.) Send it in the Montblanc to have it serviced. In the past they have charged me a flat $80 fee. That usually includes a new cap which would eliminate the engraving as well. I have not had it sent in so I cannot confirm this, but search around on the forums for confirmation on this price.
2.) Find a new piston stem- I’ve seen them on ebay for as cheap as $30.
I'm tempted to send it in and have it repaired myself, but I own four working 149s already.
Asking: $250 shipped within the U.S. You're welcome to make me an offer. I'm pretty firm on the price for now, but I'll adjust it depending on interest.
