A larger nib has more flexibility, a nicer springiness, and in general, when it comes to fountain pens, larger nibs are b etter. 9 is a nib size and a scale from one being the smallest and nine being the largest. It’s the same today, you don’t use cartridges, you simply hold the nib into an inkwell and then turn the back knob. The four-piston filler mechanism which meant you didn’t use cartridges but a lever that you would twist at the back. The name 149 wasn’t just made up but back in the day, Mont Blanc had a system where one denoted the masterpiece which was the highest category of fountain pen you could get for them, they also had the second grade, and a third tier, however, they’ve discontinued those today. I have a vintage model from the 50s which an EF nib which stands for extra fine and it has a very different look than a broad nib which is what I usually use to write and take notes on an everyday basis and that is even slimmer than a very wide O3B nib which means it’s three times as broad as a regular one, and it’s just a very wide look and I use it only for signatures. Why do I have three fountain pens of exactly the same model, you might wonder? Mont Blanc has excellent nibs that have the right amount of springiness without being too boring, very comfortable to write, and because they’re made out of gold, they will easily adapt to your hand and to your writing and they will remain like that for years to come. I really like the 149 for its large gold nib.
So if you look for one, make sure it fits and test it before you buy. Because the fountain is so big, it often doesn’t fit in regular cases. In combination with a green ink that I use with my fountain pens, it becomes very difficult to imitate my signature.
I find it’s a great fountain pen to take notes and especially for signatures because you can untwist it with just one rotation and quickly sign it, and if you have a nib with a certain width, you get a really characteristic look that is very hard to fake or copy. I also like it a lot because it’s the biggest pen in the Mont Blanc fountain pen range, and it’s very thick with about 13 millimeters at the grip. It has a torpedo shape and it was first introduced to the market in 1951.
