This is the same pen as posted in my other WTT thread. I'm looking either for the Opera Elements or Homo Sapiens Steel Age for this pen. (Also looking for Pelikan. If multiple offers come, I'll decide then.)
If you have a Steel Age to trade, I'll add cash to the deal.

The 146:
It has an unstriped ink window and fine/medium monotone 14k nib. I really enjoy using Montblanc Mystery Black in this pen. The nib just glides across the paper; it's really sublime.

It is engraved "John" on the barrel and "Kimberling" on the cap. However, it is extremely subtle and done in tasteful script. When using the pen I hardly notice. Presently, I use the script to tell me if the cap and barrel threads are properly aligned.

The split ebonite feed works great, and the piston is working well. The engraving is there, but its very subtle. I hope this pen finds a good home. I would keep it, but for my hands, the section is a tad wide.
