It may sound odd to some but I prefer the 144, and one of these is definately on my want list!

It's not easy to tell the model with just a glance. The celluloid 144 and 146 lengths are close. Also, the striated celluloid shrinks. I'll have two green striated Meisterstucks at Ohio: a 146 with N.O.S. barrel and a 142 with a flex nib.

There is still at least one collector keeping those striated celluloid rods from the 60s. I've seen his stock and I had to retrieve my jaws on the floor. :-)
