Is that a good price? I have no idea...

[SIR]

It's nearly £100 less than retail so, I would've thought so; but, of course, one could get the same pen in near mint unused condition as a late '70s or earlier vintage with a characterful and flexing nib for the about the same price, I suspect.

Thanks! I hope that someone who has been 'on the fence' about buying a MB146 sees your post and seizes the opportunity.

The only thing is that it's now the 'older' model, not the red gold version.

[SIR]

I too prefer red gold...
but they also have the platinum version on sale at a £100 reduction to retail;

If I could afford to buy one, I would rather have the red gold version.
