[D O C]

I wouldn't touch this pen with a 10 foot pole. Not because its not genuine. In fact, it looks like a legit 146 from the limited resolution of the pictures. I can clearly see the lines of the ink window below the screw-on threads. But its not a 149 and its not platinum either. The second pictures clearly shows a gold finish.

But its too beat up. The finish is coming off the middle ring of the three cap ring and you can actually see the copper alloy underneath showing through. Thats why the "M" on the cap doesn't look crisp as OP was saying. Theres green oxidation on sides of the body of the nib. Plus who wants to buy a pen with another dude's name on it? Lol. I mean really. There's probably a reason all the pictures from this dude suck; so that you can't see all the imperfections.

That being said, its still a pen and if its functional might do SOME good. Offer $25. But don't let this bozo tell you its a platinum 149.
