Description from the seller

MONTBLANC Meisterstück 149 — Vintage Fountain Pen

The Flagship. The Icon. The "Diplomat."

The Montblanc Meisterstück 149 is widely regarded as the definitive fountain pen — an instrument that has graced the desks of heads of state, Nobel laureates, and connoisseurs of fine writing since 1952. This is the oversized model, Montblanc's largest and most prestigious Meisterstück, and the one against which all others are measured.

This is a pre-1991 vintage example fitted with the original 14K (585) gold bicolour nib — a detail that distinguishes it from the later 18K models and makes it particularly sought after by collectors.

Specifications
Type: Piston-fill fountain pen (filled via inkwell)
Nib: 14K / 585 gold, bicolour, handcrafted

Pre-owned and well preserved. The black precious resin body and cap are in good shape with only minimal signs of use — no chips, cracks, or repairs. All gold-plated accents and the three cap rings are fully intact. The 14K gold bicolour nib is in superb condition — smooth, properly aligned, and a pleasure to write with. A refill is required upon use.

Included
The pen only — no box or additional accessories.
