Other fountain pens included in the Montblanc Meisterstuck Line are the Le Grand, Le Grand Traveller and Hommage A Frederic Chopin, Hommage A W.A. Mozart all made with a 14K gold nib with barrel and cap of precious resin inlaid with Montblanc emblem.

The Montblanc Meisterstuck Fountain Pens are built to hold a great amount of ink. There are two ways of filling these pens, through an ink cartridge and by using a piston or converter. Fountain pens with cartridges are easier to maintain than those with piston, because you just need to buy a new cartridge to refill your ink supply. Fountain pens that fill from an ink bottle may need a little more care but it is not as difficult to maintain as what is more commonly known. Most converters use a piston system that requires a knob to be turned to move the piston forward to dip in the ink, then turning the knob again to draw the ink. Once the converter is already full, you can wipe off the excess ink from your nib and start writing away.
The Montblanc 149 Diplomat, Le Grand, Hommage A Frederic Chopin, Montblanc Meisterstuck Doue Black and White are all piston pens while the Le Grand Traveller and Hommage A W.A. Mozart comes with an ink cartridge. This Meisterstuck series also comes in different barrel styles. You can choose from the classic black resin and gold barrel, black resin and platinum, precious gold metals, precious white metals, and precious metals with diamond. Whatever kind of Montblanc Meisterstuck Fountain Pen you choose will surely guarantee a different and highly-satisfying writing experience for every pen collector and user.
