Today, I am going to do a fountain pens size comparison of 12 popular Fountain pen models from 11 pen brands.
The first pen on the list is the Montblanc 149 fountain pen. Till recently considered as the grandfather of all pens in size and looks. The magnificent size has become quiet popular among pen connoisuers and many brands have broughtout similar line of large pens to cater to the growing demand of Large fountain pens.
Montblanc 149 has the following dimensions
| length_when_closed | length_when_posted | diameter | weight |
| 144MM | 161MM | 13.0MM | 32 GRAMS |
