The embossing M.-N. stands for Montblanc-Niederlage, that is, the historical designation for a Montblanc branch. It is thus an origin or distribution mark and not a model or nib statement.
What does the embossing M N or M.-N. on the turning knob of older Montblanc models stand for?

Hallo Zusammen,
bei einigen alten Modellen (in Auktionen)ist mir die Prägung M-N oder ggf. M N am Drehknopf aufgefallen.
Kann mir jemand etwas dazu sagen?
Danke vorab!

Hallo Pascal,
M.-N. steht für "Montblanc-Niederlage", d.h. -Niederlassung.
