The model has undergone a number of revisions in the course of decades with many details such as feeder, shape of the section, clip and mechanism, being slightly modified. 

Dating a Montblanc 149 is not always easy and immediate although a few details can be taken as a reference  such as feeder, shape of the section, type of mechanism, length and design of the clip etc.

This Montblanc 149 sports the word "Germany" on the clip ring and has no lasered serials, which places it before 1990. The pen has a split ebonite feeder and the nib is 14 K.
