The Story
The name 'Meisterstück' was first used for a Montblanc in 1924 designating this range 'Masterpieces'. These pens have 14 carat gold nibs and a piston filling mechanism. The top of the cap is adorned with a representation of the snow covered top of Europe's highest mountain, the Mont Blanc and the 4810 on the nib represents the height of the mountain, 4810 meters.
The 146 is one of Montblanc's flagship line-up, standing proudly next to the slightly larger 149. It is a superbly proportioned pen, large enough to exude gravitas and yet tapered to remain elegant. This version is the special edition Solitaire with solid 925 sterling silver guilloche pattern engraved into and cap.
The cap is solid sterling silver, and is properly hallmarked above the Meisterstück engraved cap band. The clip is platinum plated.
The pen is in near mint condition, it has been inked and shows signs of handling, but is in otherwise superb condition with a smooth fine 14k gold nib
The Nitty-Gritty
There are no major imperfections to note, no splits or engravings.
