For this video, I captured most of the steps of a restoration of a Monblanc 136 on camera. The fountain pen was produced around the end of the 1940s and is therefore a good 70 years old.The outside of the Montblanc 136 was not in as bad a condition as many other comparably old pens. The biggest problem was that there was a big hole in the knob. Apparently someone had tried to restore something there in the past (with moderate success). Also, the star was very discoloured and no longer fitted into the cap head.After disassembly, I cleaned all the individual parts, carefully sanded down the surfaces and repolished them. To fill the hole in the knob, I turned a matching piece of black hard rubber, inserted it and sanded it smooth.Of course, there was also a new sealing cork at the end, so that the fountain pen is ready to write again.Have fun watching.

As a fountain pen collector, I feel it's very satisfying to watch this video
Vielen Dank für das tolle Video über die Restauration des 136er. Gut gemacht.
Great video. Definitely like to see more. Especially the 139. Thank you so much.
As soon as I get my hands on another 139, I'll make a video.
@@MSPens Do you have an earlier video on the 139? Or the telescopic 149?
@@anishmenon1485 Unfortunately not. When I get a suitable fountain pen, I will make a video. Probably it will be a 144 or 146 from the 50s. The 149s have become very expensive in the purchase, even in a mediocre to poor condition.
Beeindruckend, was aus einem schönen Füller gemacht werden kann, nämlich ein wunderschöner. Danke fürs Zeigen.
I love this restoration work. It is very impressive how you did it. I am sure MB head quarters work shop never do the kind of work as they just replace all work with spare parts.
I love MB. But I don't have these vintage pens . It is great pleasure to see still those pen can go many miles in generations ahead.!!!
Thank you for this nice comment. Very motivating.
Great Job!!!
Excellenter restauration Marco, Kongratuliert!
Wow, amazing and beautiful job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
Perfect restoration i had ever seen.
I first see red grease and I wonder name of 8:30 red greace.
Glad to see your videos and thanks a lot.
Hello and thanks for you comment.
The red compound is sealing wax to ensure that no ink can leak through the thread. Normal beeswax works exactly the same way.
Best regards.
I love your channel. I wish I had some of your tools. Regards

Thank you very much for the nice comment.
More videos will follow soon.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am very impressed how you did new gold plating. is it possible to show in detail, please. Or give any advice, please
Hello, I did the gold plating with a pen plating kit. I hope this helps you.
Greetings. Congratulations for the incredible work! I have a #139 montblanc, it is in very good condition, and is very nice to use. But since that I bought the pen, more than 15 years ago, the 'star' has a nice 'cracked' appearance, like old porcelain ... but unfortunately this appearance was not cosmetic, and the star has fully collapsed, turning in several micropieces, and on the cap top today I have a hole . . . the button cap is in very nice conditions, with the screw and structure perfect.
So, I wonder if it is possible to create a new star for this incredible pen, that I am preserving to the future generations ?
Hello, thank you for you comment. I´m sure I can help you with your Montblanc 139. Would you please use the "Kontakt" section on my homepage www.mspens.de/ ? Then we can discuss your issue per email.
Best regards
Great information.
I have a Mont blanc 142 that I have stripped to fit a cork seal. I notice that the bakelite part at the end of the metal piston turns on the shaft. It does not drop off, just turns.
Would you know of this is correct, or do I need to fix with resin or similar?
Any advice appreciated
Dave
Hello Dave,
This can happen because the cork holder shrinks a little over the years. You can try to gently squeeze the metal directly under the plastic part with a tong. But you have to be very careful because the plastic part can easlily break. I can't say whether gluing is an alternative, because I have never tried it.
Best regards
@@MSPens thanks for the information, I'll give it a try
Best wishes

Hi, I have a first generation 149 (silver ring) that is not taking in any ink and the end can be continuous twisted. Wondering how would I be able to take out the piston? Since it's celluloid, I don't want to soak it too hot water as I'm afraid of deformation.
Hi,
to unscrew the piston you need a special tool. You can find it for example on my homepage. But also for this you would have to heat the fountain pen a little bit so that the shellac on the thread of the spindle unit loosens. You can heat it up with a hairdryer, for example, where you can adjust the temperature. More than 50-60 ° (approximately - you may find exact numbers in Internet forums) you should not set, because the celluloid are deformed. With warm water it could also work, but I have never tried that.
All at your own risk, of course ;-)
Where can I find the tool to remove the ring on the cork seal?
Hi. Unfortunately, the tool is not yet available in my online store. However, in a few weeks I should be ready with it, then you could buy it via my homepage.
What did you use to glod plated the ring at 4:36min? looks like a marker or pen? Thanks
Hello,
it is a galvanic pen.
Best regards
A masterful job. The nib extraction tool - that looks like a Montblanc purpose built instrument - Is it freely available to purchase ?
Yes, it is available on Marco's website. Link is in the video description.
Thank you ! I did visit the site myself (& answered my own question) 😉
Thank you, xdakarhu ! I did visit Marco's website - & answered my own question 😉
I am referring to the description.....
Hi, thanks for your comment. The description is available in German and English. Best regards
Ar 3min 50s. What di you use to polish the clib?
Hello, this is a simple polishing paste. Which exactly, I can not say.
Best regards
I congratulate you for your work! What material do you use to highlight the no. 136 at minute 6:41? Thank you!
Hello, thanks for thecomment. I use "Markal Lacquer-Stik" to refill the engravings.
@@MSPens Is the stik color gold??
Could it be used for Hemingway?
@@user-wi1fq2yd1f Hi, yes the color is gold an you can use ist for any engraving.
This is being shown in the US. No English? Why not? We are not in Germany.
