In 1924, after a restyling of its production which was divided into different ranges of quality, [[Montblanc]] began using the ''Meisterstuck'' (masterpiece) name to indicate its higher-end pens, coming with a lifetime warranty, also adopting  the marking of the 4810 monogram with reference to the Mont Blanc height. The same ''masterpiece'' title was also adopted in the foreign market, and are therefore pen were marked ''Masterpiece'' in Britain and the United States, ''Cheuf d'Ouvre'' in France and ''Capolavoro'' in Italy.

Si deve però tenere ben presente che il nome ''Meisterstück'' non identifica affatto un preciso modello o una linea, come invece la stessa azienda cerca di far sembrare nella [http://www.montblancitalia.it/history.php storiografia] pubblicata sul sito ufficiale. In questa infatti, in maniera poco corretta, viene riportata alla data del 1924 come esempio di ''Meisterstück'' una [[Montblanc 149|149]] che origina invece al 1952. Questa poi viene pure pomposamente indicata come la penna "simbolo per eccellenza" "per la cultura della scrittura" dando ad intendere che si tratti dello stesso modello, "icona di un design senza tempo", di tale qualità da essere rimasto sempre in produzione fino dal 1924 (i virgolettati sono citati dalla descrizione presente sul sito citato al 9 marzo 2009, in seguito modificata sulla versione italiana, ma rimasti sostanzialmente uguali su quella inglese).

However, one must keep in mind that the ''Meisterstück'' name does not identify a precise model or line, as the company tries to make it to appear in the [http://www.montblanc.com/history.php historiography] published in its official website where, unfairly, a [[Montblanc 149|149]] that originates instead in 1952 is reported in 1924. This pen is also grandly referred to as the "symbol par excellence" for the culture of writing, trying to figure that it is the same model, "an icon of a timeless design", of such an high quality that it always remained in production until since 1924 (the quotes are cited from the description on the website cited at March 9, 2009, subsequently amended).
