Montblanc Meisterstück 149 fountain pen in black precious resin with gold-plated fittings, piston filler, 14 cm long and 1.4 cm in diameter, dating to the Fine XX century and in excellent condition, barely used and fully working.
Description from the seller
Here we present once again the undisputed queen of fountain pens, the definitive writing instrument: the majestic Montblanc Meisterstück 149 (also famously known as the "Diplomat") in black precious resin with yellow gold-plated highlights. While the model examined previously bore signs of time on its feed, this specimen stands at the starting blocks in all its untouched and imposing perfection.
The timeless cigar-shaped design, with generous and authoritative proportions, is enhanced by the dazzling black precious resin, which creates a magnificent play of contrasts with the warm gold finishes. On the massive triple cap band is engraved the historic inscription of the manufacturer, while the famous six-point white star dominates the top. The filling system is the legendary integrated piston filler, a smooth and capacious mechanism that embodies the very essence of traditional fountain pens.
The true jewel of this pen is its enormous nib. Unlike other variants, from your excellent macro photographs it clearly emerges a sumptuous two-tone nib in solid 18-carat gold (Au 750), finely hand-made and embellished with rhodium-plated inlays. The lower section reveals a modern horizontal-toothed feed in perfect condition, with all teeth intact and aligned, ready to guarantee that abundant and flawless ink flow that made the 149 famous.
The condition is evaluable as excellent. The resin reflects light like a mirror, free of cracks, dents, or obvious scratches, showing only very slight, physiological micro-scratches (hairlines) visible when held to the light, from normal and respectful handling. The gilding is vivid, bright, and free of defects or oxidation. An specimen that is structurally and aesthetically magnificent.
