This is the Big Boy. The 149. I believe this pen is about 20-30 years old. It has the metal threading holding the piston knob. It also has a 14 KT nib which indicates that the pen is not of recent manufacture. The pen clip washer is marked W. Germany so the pen was maufactured before the unification of Germany. The pen has not been restore but is working as it should. the nib is a two-toned F/Stiff.
Offered is a scarce Montblanc stylograph with red dot on the side of the cap top. The model number 432 and the cap imprint are both super crisp. There is about 40% brassing to the bottom cap band but all the rest is excellent. The stylo has been professionally restored and the ink-view barrel is clear.
A most beautiful Swan ,gold filled, stars-pattern lever filler. The pen is in overall excellent condition with some minor brassing evident on the ball of the clip on the top and bottom edges of the pen. No personalization. The nib is a Mabie Todd #2 Medium with a hint of flex. Restored and ready to write a really smoooooth line.
I have always liked this model with the decorative gold bands and plaques contrasting against the black hard rubber background. This 5 inch pen is in excellent condition with the only evident wear on the ball of the clip. I have left the subtle patina on all the metal trim but that could be polished if you prefer the shine. The nib is a Mabie Todd Eternal #4 and the bottom of the barrel is marked 144/33. The nib is a rigid Medium and the pen is restored.
