My apologies but I am not familiar with any of the pens you have shown in your photograph. Is the bottom one a smaller and shorter pen?

Sorry, can't help but I would love a Burgundy MB. To my untrained eye the black looks like a 146 and burgundy model 145.

Try the Fountain Pen Network, I would bet they would know in a heartbeat. They are like the WIS's here. When you find out please report back.

Thank you for the replies. The black fountain pen is of regular size.

Bottom is a 146, also known as a Le Grande. I can't date it, but someone on fountainpennetwork.com probably can if you supply more pictures of the nib.

Top is a burgundy 144, also known as a Clasique. Middle is a burgundy Clasique size roller ball. Both of these are long put of production.

The bottom one looks like having a striped ink window, so probably a modern one like after 1990's, and yes it looks like a 146 - I wouldn't pay > $250.
Top and middle one - scoli83 is correct burgundy 144. I wouldn't pay > $350 for the set.

Yes you are correct the 146 has the striped window. Here is another pic.

Might actually consider sell them all.

The 144, the smaller one with a gold ring by the nib, uses a cartridge or a converter.

Does the top of the clip have W Germany, Germany, or Germany and a serial number starting with a letter? Does the clip show Pix on the underside or around the band around the middle.

Does the larger pen, I believe is a 146, show brass or plastic when you unscrew it to fill it with ink.

Do you have the converter for the 144?

Do you have any MB boxes for them?

Better pictures of the white star would also help.

If you want a value, these are questions you need to answer.

Hope this helps

Ok
They all say W Germany on the top band as well as see number
All say Meisterstueck on the lower cap band.
146 shows brass in the drawing position.
One Box for the 146

You have already in this thread been given a valuation on what your pens are worth so I suggest you go back and reread your thread!!!

Thank you for that. Just thought there might be another opinion as they can vary :)

Yes, you are correct in that everyone has an opinion of what a said "Item" is worth but "2careless" really knows MontBlanc pens and what they are worth!!!

Really the only value of an item is a price agreed upon between a "Seller" and a ready "Buyer".......

Take care.....Leo
