Montblanc 146 OF - Serviced By Fountainbel

**Zolt4n** · June 30th, 2019, 11:57 AM

Hello everyone

Up for sale is a Celluloid Montblanc 146 fountain pen fitted with a 14C Oblique Fine (OF) nib.

A rare opportunity to own a remarkable Montblanc with the iconic telescopic piston filling mechanism and the original two-tone gold nib.

The pen is in perfect working condition as it has been serviced in 2018 by vintage Montblanc expert Francis, also known as Fountainbel. Francis performed a complete overhaul, including complete disassembling, ultrasonic rinsing, cleaning and greasing the telescopic system and adding a new cork. He told me the the following after he finished repairs: "The sleeve “7” was cracked , made and installed a brass reinforcement bushing." I would like to thank him once again for his efforts.

Features:
- Two-tone 14 C OF (Oblique-Fine) nib.
- Ebonite feed, keeps up very well with the nib.
- Ambered striped ink window without ink residue.
- Telescopic piston filling mechanism that works flawlessly, fills the pen with ease to its maximum ink capacity.
- Rings show no loss of gold plating.
- Cap appears to be resin (lacking the vent holes as well) which would suggest it might be a transitional pen from the 1960s (no expert here).
- No cracks, no dents, please check the photos.
- Flaws: microscratches all over the pen, the barrel's black coating is worn, so the barrel became transparent (quite common on these pens), overall the pen is in good cosmetic condition but definitely has some sings of use.

No box or papers.

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