| Description | These 149 Materpieces are being made from the early fifties without interuption till today. However, this is the early version made in the fifties. It shows some very important differences compared to the pens of today: 1. the pen is made on the lathe from celluloid. 2. the feed is still from ebonite. 3. The small capbands are made from solid silver. 4. the piston mechanism is the famous full metal teleskopic mechanism, as it had been invented in 1934. The pen offered here is in wonderful condition, with wonderful black barrel, no ambering, and perfect inkwindow. A rare and valuable item. The pen is fully working. The pen is a very early version, with flat feed, long inkwindow. Nib is marked 139 on the base. These nibs were used for the very early 149 pens when 139 were still made as well. very good condition. Only flaw are some indentation of the black barrel surface - they cannot be polished away, as the black of the barrel is just a thin layer of celluloid on transparent. Thus, polishing would create a transparent barrel. The very rare BBB nib is writing with moderate flexibility - but is of an incredible softness with a generous inkflow. Not a wet noodle but short before. |
