MONTBLANC 149 silver rings - black celluloid

The Montblanc 149 in black celluloid with silver rings is considered a grail pen by man collectors. It is actually one of the most desirable pens from the 1950's ad it is a fantastic writer.
The piston has a telescopic mechanism and the pen has a very sturdy and robust appearance.
The model has undergone a number of small variations since its introduction on the market and many details have changed in the course of time.
This 149 has an early flat nib and a three tone gold nib. The barrel was restored and the old cracked ink window has been replaced.
The cap tube shows a minimal shrinkage and its diameter is slightly smaller that the clip ring.
As a whole the pen is however in excellent condition and in perfect working order.
