As mentioned, this particular pen is the much rarer barley gold version, which was only available up until the beginning of the 90's. The barrel and cap of the pen are brass which is then gold plated and this was the case from around 1970 - 1990. In my opinion these solitaire pens elevate the usual look of the standard resin offerings to another level. The intricate barley detailing is beautiful and the gold trim provides a brightness but at the same time never a brash look. As with all other 146's, this is a piston filling pen, so it's bottled ink all the way!
This pen features both W. Germany and serial number markings, making it extremely simple to date. This combination only appeared in 1991, give or take a couple of months either way. This is a truly lovely example of a pen that's now getting increasingly difficult to find in such good condition. The important details are as follows.. Serviced by Montblanc - May 2019.
