Montblanc converter

October 12, 2017 1:09 PM

I inherited a Montblanc Noblesse fountain pen, like pen 153 here. I've heard that some MB fountain pen converters will not work with this pen. Which converter will fit?

I'm sure the good folks at the Fountain Pen Hospital can help you.

Looks like a good bit of info here, at the Fountain Pen Network.
It may not take a converter, only cartridges.

Also not answering the question directly, but if you find you need to use cartridges, you can refill them directly using a syringe.

A quick search shows multiple blogs/reviews saying it'll take standard international cartridges or the "large Montblanc piston converter" (source: penspotter).
Searching for Montblanc Noblesse and piston indeed gets some sales listings that describe this pen using the piston converter, so maybe see if your exact model is one of those? (I am not familiar with Montblanc but gather that there were different generations of the Noblesse model.)
