Montblanc 136 1st Issue Celluloid Fountain Pen 1937. 14C 235 F/M Flex Nib. First ever issue Metal Telescopic Piston was Just serviced with New Cork. Works and Writes as when new. Amazing Flex nib can write F to BBB. Made in Germany, 1936 to 1938 ONLY in this exact form. TRUE first Issue 136. Has original 235 14C nib. (235 nib UNIQUE to 1936 to 1938 Meisterstuck models 106, 126 and 136 ONLY). Cap is a rare Celluloid Example with Montblanc Meisterstuck side imprints. Most of the Caps with this imprint were made of BHR (Black Hard Rubber) with this same style side Imprint. Unique caps to first issue 136 and 126 1936 to 1939 ONLY. I love this pens Extra Long Lined Scarlet Red Ink Window which is also unique to 1st issue. By 1940 they made the window shorter. This pens barrel is Demonstrator length. Very rare to find so clean. The Caps White Star Top section, Piston Housing and Blind Cap (Tail End) and the Front Section (part you hold when writing) are ALL made of BHR. The Blind Cap has deep and easy to read 136 and EF Imprints. The beautiful Gold Tie Clip and Caps Ring Band are both Yellow Gold plated and also superb with no Brassing or Plate loss etc. Rare to find such clean Gold Trim. The pen has no Cracks, Splits, Dents, Bitemarks or Scratches etc… Overall once in the hand to the naked eye looks amazing still. For 85 years old I would say outstanding. Always been looked after. The 14C single tone 235 (I do not believe it was ever Rhodium plated in its centre) F/M FULL Flex Nib is a Connoisseur Grade SuperStar Flex nib. An absolute JOY to write with. The 14C 235 nib was unique to Meisterstuck models 106, 126 and 136 between 1936 and 1938 ONLY. Its EF Iridium Tips have been professionally reshaped to a much more user friendly Fine to Medium by its previous owner. Nib is in perfect condition with zero cracks or repairs etc. Its tines are perfect with zero kinks etc. It writes with a Fine to Medium line that has Fine line side stroke at normal pressure. VERY user friendly with ZERO paper scratch. Elegant handwriting perfect for everyday use. However, this nib really comes alive the moment you exercise its fantastic flexibility. It can flex from F to past Triple Broad on the downstroke when varying levels of pressure is applied. Wonderful Soft flex but not Loose or Twitchy. Only flexes upon user command never by itself. ULTRA creative nib full of personality. A nib so creative its ONLY limitation is the imagination and writing ability of its user. In the hands of an experienced Flex writer this thoroughbred Nib simply leaves the competition in its dust. Grade A++++++++++ Flex nib. Montblanc simply DO NOT make nibs this creative anymore. Not since the 1950’s. The fabulous Ebonite Feed offers PERFECT Ink Flow. Never skipped a beat during its writing test and I really push them. Montblanc feds of this ERA are amongst the finest EVER made. Designed to work with Flex nibs. They do not let you down. The Metal Telescopic Piston is the first issue Montblanc EVER made. Their finest achievement in design and pen filling history. Far superior to the Plastic Single action pistons they use today. ONLY Meisterstuck pens 1936 to 1959 had these pistons. All other Montblanc Piston pens are Single action as designed by Pelikan in 1929. The metal telescopic piston is unique to Montblanc. Perhaps the greatest piston design ever. The only reason they stopped using it was to cut manufacturing costs in 1959. Opting for the 10 times cheaper to make plastic single action piston that holds a 1/3 less ink because of it. NOTHING retracts further inside the Barrel allowing more ink storage than a Telescopic piston. This pens piston works as new. Fills to the max every time. Never gets stuck half way. ALWAYS fully retracts when filling. Works as when New. Come s ready to write just add your favourite colour bottled ink… Perfect as a gift or treat yourself to a wonderful collectible fountain pen that can be used and enjoyed daily..
