Can anyone supply me with dimensional info of MB146 and 149?
I would like to know the capped length, posted length and OD.
I’m seeking to upgrade MB144 to either MB146 or MB149 and would like to
compare the dimension with the other FPs that I currently own. The largest FP
that I currently own is Pelikan M800 which feels very comfortable and I don’t want
to go any larger especially the OD.

Thanks in advance,

Thanks, Dave.
It's got all the info that I needed including Pelikans.
I just need to decide 146 or 149.

Difficult, but enjoyable decision Joji, I'm a bit biased because I have one, but for me it would be the 149 but it will be whatever you find the most comfortable.

Dave, your comment is making the decision more difficult.

That may work too since my 144 is in gold.
Gold - Platinum - Gold.

Actually one can get a 149 in Platinum style finish by getting the gold parts plated into Rhodium, but that's aftermarket and MB won't touch the piece afterwards. I should be receiving mine within the next 2 weeks.
