How does one identify the nib width of a Montblanc Noblesse cartridge filler from the nib tip?

Montblanc Montblanc — general FAQ entry

A round-tipped nib typically corresponds to M, F or EF; a flat, straight tip points to B or BB. The form is best checked in comparison with a known nib (e.g. of a Pelikan 200 in M). High-resolution photos are often deceptive because of reflections and overexposure. With the Noblesse described here with clearly flattened, broad tip, it is therefore a B or BB nib. The Noblesse with stamp "750 16/18K" was offered until into the 2000s.
