Danish coral red Montblancs 214 and 216

**MarcoA64** · April 25th, 2023, 01:17 AM

I'm trying to understand the difference in size between these two models.
214 has a #4 nib and is long 13 cm closed
216 has a #6 nib and how long is it?
a #4 M nib and a #6 EF nib how do they compare?
Are they comparable to a MB 144 or slightly bigger?
Ideas anyone? Thank you

I did a bit of investigating and got some infos to my requests.
The 216 is closer in size to a 146
Declared vintage MB nib sizes are what it says on the tin so they are more like Japanes nibs to this respect.
Still looking for info on the 214

Almost a year has gone by from this post and here I am again. After a lot of thought and consideration I found and bought a 204 Coral Red, medium nib. Perfect condition, perfect size as well. The clip attachment is pleasing to the eye as well. Great craftsmanship too in these early MBs, well this one is from 1952 so not too early 😊 I'm happy I chose this one.
