Period
c. 1990
This Montblanc Meisterstück 146 fountain pen, produced in the early 1990s, is crafted from black precious resin and finished with gold-plated fittings. The cap features the iconic white Montblanc star emblem in the crown and a characteristic gold-plated clip engraved with 'Germany' on the reverse.
The central cap band is wide, engraved with 'MONTBLANC-MEISTERSTÜCK No 146' and flanked by two narrow rings. The pen is equipped with a 14 ct gold nib, featuring a width of M, which is stamped with the Montblanc emblem, '14 K', and '4810', a reference to the height of the Mont Blanc peak in meters. A distinct feature of this model is the section with a striped, grey-blue ink window. The pen utilizes a piston filling mechanism.
Measuring 14 cm in length, this model is part of a series that has been in production since 1949 and is currently recognized as the LeGrand. The use of a single-tone gold nib and the striped ink window are characteristic markers for pens manufactured by the Hamburg-based firm around 1990.
