2012 Montblanc Writers Edition Jhonatan Swift M Nib The Art Of Engrave Montblanc Special and Limited Editions Nibs I am a Montblanc collector, and as someone have already known, I have a great interest in special and limited editions of the company. It is true that, as a good purist, I started with a 149, which has been followed by several others 149´s and Meisterstuck pieces, but my collection has focused on the writers edition, expanding to great characters and donation pen. In short, special editions and limited editions. It is not my intention to comment about the virtues of the special and the limited editions of Montblanc, because all of you surely know them, someone have their opinion, many like them, some do not, anyway. What I wanted to share on this occasion is to invite you to an incredible trip, to discover a world in miniature, which passes, largely, unnoticed to the naked eye, and even more if we have some years; to know in detail the work of decorate the nibs of special and limited editions, and let us surprise with “ the art of engrave " Have you ever seen Gulliver's belt, or the difference in size between him and the citizen of liliput on horseback? I will be sharing the nibs that are in my collection, and I will appreciate that you get excited and upload the photos of yours special and limited nibs. Let's start. Enjoy it. FEAMAT

I got a 'pen part'.....the base of a Parker 51 desk pen, brass bottom: Im wondering what the possibilities of having something engraved on it(ie the pens bottom, rather than my own: though age and gravity have taken their toll on my own, and it would allow more area to work on, I draw the line - no pun intended....this whole topic is daft enough without my adding to it.....though it's written to try to keep my spirits and sense of humour up, as the last couple if months have been very difficult....) Anyway, any suggestions? Pictures shown. It's a nice thing in any case - I have one already, complete with pen....beautiful, black, 'snail' turned pattern on the pen, and is a sweet writer and so comfortable. Hence I was wondering if this could have something engraved. I doubt if it's something one can do at home....or is it? Alex
