@@chrisb012 the one i am using is rhodium plated 146,fine nib. I even sent it to MB for repair, found a slight improvement afterwards. Still not satisfied. The pelikan m205 & pilot metropolitan is far better than my mb146. Yeah, currently i inked with pilot ama iro ink.
@@paulasmith3577 if you bought it from the boutique, they will service it for free within a year. Otherwise you can pay for it. If that is not what you want, try cleaning it just with water. If it were cartridge type then you can use a little bit of detergent because there is no grease applied but for the piston type like 149, you might wanna just use water.
Beautiful pen 😍
My grail pen is a vintage montblanc 146. One day I'll be lucky 🖋️✍️😁
Meisterstuck was released in 1924 not 1929
Lovely pen. Personally, I went for the 146, found the size 9 nib a bit too big for me. The 146 is my daily writer.
Mine is a hard starter, and bit scratchy
@@mmmssbb23 sorry to hear that. I’m using a medium nib with Iroshizuku ink. Seems to flow nicely.
149 has a #8 nib
@@subhadipmaji4987 suggest you check your facts. A quick search would show it’s a #9 nib. My 146 has a #6 nib.

Did you have any skipping problems
No, I did not-
@@thependemicwithbruce2141 luncky!
Yes, we have skipping problems, especially when writing a O. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Ink capacity is wrong . About 1.3ml ink it holds
Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind for future reference.
write too small... dont see the perfomance properly.
Why do you need pens with such huge nibs that you won’t be able to write with for a long time ? How to compensate for your complexes ???
