The pen is presented in overall fantastic condition and even the original retailers sticker remains on the barrel. The cap securely attaches but it appears not to travel the full distance of the threads as the ink window is still very much visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe original supplying retailer was 'Casa Univex' in Barcelona - they were a camera retailer, owned by the Wiese family. Interestingly Wiese were the importers for Montblanc for Montblanc prior to the second World War and were even authorised to produce Montblanc pens locally.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe main cap ring features Masterpiece engraving, so confirming an 'export' example rather than German market Meisterstuck version. The pen is crafted from celluloid, with the trim being gold-plated. The ink window remains a vibrant green, which is always a sign of very little use on this era of 146, as the colour tends to change to an amber and almost red tone with use. The cone 146 heat stamp still retains its gold infill details and the snowcap remains bright. There is a little bit of wear to the sides of the nib, we'd suggest that this was likely due to being dipped originally and then left in its box for many decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe pen is fitted with a 14k medium nib and the telescopic piston filler means that bottled ink is your choice here.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe important details are as follows...\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- 14k Medium Nib\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Presentation Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Fantastic Condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWith every pen that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial \/ limitation number and date it was purchased from us.
