MONTBLANC 149 - EARLY 1970S RESIN MODEL - STUB 18 C NIB

Ever since its introduction in the 1950's the 149 has been one of the most desirable models by Montblanc.
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 to place a pen at least in the right decade.
This 149 dates back to the 1970's. It has a fluted section, a 14C gold nib, an ebonite feeder and a black mechanism.
The ring of the clip is slightly thicker than more modern ones and it shows the engraving: "Germany".
Most pens of this time show "W.Germany" so this ring is quite unusual.
The. nib is 18C with a generous stub tip, which makes the pen even more appealing.
