In 1959, the Montblanc line up was redesigned by Albrecht von Goertz. Goertz famously designed the BMW 507 and had a hand in designing the Toyota 2000GT and Datsun 240z. All three-digit pens (142, 144, 146) except the 149 were discontinued. The new line up was slimmer and fitted with a new “butterfly” nib. The pens were segmented into three tiers Meisterstuck, Medium Range and Economy. The pens came in two sizes. Pens ending in “2” were smaller in size while pens ending in “4” were larger.
Theses pen series were offered in four colors: black/burgundy/green/grey. Black is the most common with the other colors being more rare (opinions vary, but the rank from most common to least is burgundy/green/grey).
The No. 22 is in the Medium Range tier. The main difference between the No. 12/14 Meisterstuck tier the No. 22/24 Medium Range in the gold content of the nib. This pen features an 14k Gold "Butterfly" nib vs an 18k nib for the Meisterstuck. The cap features two cap rings compared to the "bishop's mitre" cap band on the No. 12/14.
This pen is in Very Good condition.
