Nope, I don't know the model number to be honest, but it is slimmer than the 146. I actually worked my way up to the full set back then (pencil being a present from my dad, so very special to me) when they used to come with the cool black hard cases.

I like them a lot (minus the BP which is nothing special).

The fountain has a Med nib, which is flexible enough and very comfortable. The pencil, I love (0.7 mm).

When it comes to a ballpoint, NOTHING beats my Surefire Pen II.

Pen looks like a 144.

It sure does, but the older version with the non threaded cap and gold ring on the nib end of the barrel. Good call.

All modern 144s were a slip on cap. It was the 50s celluloid 144s that had a threaded cap.

Much of the confusion comes from Montblanc marketing several models as Classique. There was an earlier slim version they called 80s Classic then the modern 144 was called Classique and when it was discontinued they called the 145 (that does have a threaded cap and no gold ring at the nib) became the Classique.
