Whats The Best Montblanc Pen You've Ever Written With?

A handwritten reply is especially welcome.

Your Heritage 1912s have served you very well indeed.

They're discreet enough to be used in any setting, possibly even in the classroom.

Thank you for this image.

Got to agree with this. I bought the same one. I ground the fine to a fine crisp italic I love.

 

I wish I could say it gets the daily use, but my work doesn't suit it. I've tried. I've found a couple of Pilot Vanishing Points suit better. One EF, and a medium ground to another crisp italic. Not as good as my Sailor EF and 1912, but so convenient.

Two stand out: an Oscar Wilde (so lovely looking for starters) with a stubbish broad nib that is a real delight to write with. And a Tribute to the Mont Blanc. My brother’s passion is climbing, so it gives me a link to him, and the nib has something indefinable but rather special. I think it’s just a medium (it was bought secondhand) but it’s one of those pens that moves in harmony with me when I use it.

My MB146 Burgundy with a medium nib. It holds a ton of ink which it slowly sips. It always outlasts every pen in my rotation. The performance is dependable, but not terribly exciting. I've got a matching ballpoint and document marker and the three make up my everyday carry.

 

I've got a lot of custom flex and italic nibs by various manufacturers mostly worked on by Richard Binder or John Mottishaw. They're more fun to write with, but burn through ink.

...guess it's this Meisterstück 138 with a double broad flexible and super smooth steel nib:

An Oscar Wilde stubbish B nib sounds delightful.

That's my notion of a highly attractive pen.

I'm glad that it writes well for you.

Thanks, Tom! Yes, it was one of those times when the stars align ..... I shouldn’t have been bidding on it as I was at work, but not at my usual tasks so I could put a sneaky one in. And it seemed to have slipped under the radar, no one put a bid in after mine. It had originally been bought at a boutique in the Caribbean, according to the paperwork, so it truly is quite exotic! I love it.

What a terrific back story!

Thank you for sharing it with us.

Such a pen is all the more precious.

From a Caribbean boutique, no less.

You've made my night with such a cheerful, slightly cheeky tale.
