<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Shangas, post: 1220183, member: 360&quot;]I&#039;ve finally accomplished a dream nearly 20 years in the making... </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]214880[/ATTACH] </p><p>And finally acquired the three Montblanc fountain pens that I really wanted! </p><p><br /></p><p>From left to right:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Montblanc Meisterstuck &#039;Classique&#039; 145. </p><p>2. Montblanc Meisterstuck &#039;Le Grand&#039; 146.</p><p>3. Montblanc Meisterstuck &#039;Diplomat&#039; 149. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know that there are other models - namely the MB 114, and the MB 147, but they just don&#039;t interest me. And they don&#039;t get more classic than these three. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]214881[/ATTACH] </p><p>I started with the 145 (the smallest one) back in 2006. It was a graduation present from my parents. </p><p><br /></p><p>Next came the granddaddy of them all - the 149. That was an auction-house win, just two months ago. These pens are so expensive, I can&#039;t possibly buy them brand-new. </p><p><br /></p><p>And then, a week ago, I bought the 146 (the one in the middle), at a local collectors&#039; fair. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]214882[/ATTACH] </p><p>While the 145 is modern, the 146 and 149 are both vintage, dating back to at least 1988 (and in the case of the 146, I think even further). They&#039;re both marked &quot;W. GERMANY&quot; on the clip-ring, indicating they were made during the Cold War. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]214883[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>All three pens are in perfect condition, and it&#039;s been my privilege to own and use them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
