Mont Blanc 149 Meisterstuck
I would dearly love to invest in another of these iconic pens. The problem is that I have had 2 and the barrels on both split just above the ink viewing window after only a couple of years careful use. Also I would really prefer a F Italic nib and Mont Blanc do not produce such a nib. Whether on could be cut is possibly another option
A mighty pen.

And that's actually the one I'm considering getting next. I just got 2 Montblancs but neither of them are fountain pens (see pic below). Thanks for the post and sharing the interesting facts about it.. Long live the 149!...
85 years already...

I still remember the 75th year anniversary back in 1999 as if it were yesterday. Hard to believe it's been 85 years of Meisterstuck already... The 149 is a mighty pen, one that is mightier than the sword! But my mighty pen is still my 146; easier to use, ...
Great post!

Thanks, Kong, for this posting! What an elegant, beautiful pen. I'm still enjoying my Caran d'Ache but if I'm ever in the market for another fountain pen, Montblanc will be on my list! Cheers, Daos
