Hello Team, I am looking for a Montblanc Boheme ballpoint pen with green gemstone in gold finish to accompany my fountain pen. Please drop me a line if you have one for sale. Thank you, Rumi

I thought I should put two of my favourite inks next to each other. Pens and ink used: Pilot Custom 823 (f) with Iroshizuku Shin-Kai Montblanc Meisterstück 149 (f) with Montblanc Midnight Blue Paper: 80 gsm Rhodia DotPad In daily writing I carry both pens and they are always inked up with the same inks. In my Tomoe River notebook, I often use them randomly throughout the day. And I noticed that I could only tell which pen the page was written by the linewidth as my fine MB 149 writes more like a medium/broad for my handwriting (which is microscopically small, people tend to tell me). The difference in ink colour does not seem that apparent. I thought it to be fun to put them next to each other to see if there is an actual difference. I did 3 passes of each ink with the fountain pens. The Iroshizuku Shin-Kai seems to have a more blueish tone and with the 3rd pass it turns to a dark (navy?) blue. The Montblanc Midnight Blue has a more greyish look to it and with the 3rd pass it starts to look more on the black side of things. Fun to see the difference as this does not show up that distinctly for me in daily writing. Out of the 100+ ink bottles I always tend to be drawn to the blue (or green)-black kind of inks, my favourites, so far, are (in order): 1. Akkerman #08 Diep-Duinwaterblauw (deep dune water blue) 2. Montblanc Midnight Blue 3. Iroshizuku Shin-Kai 4. Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo 5. Akkerman #10 IJzer-Galnoten blauw/zwart (Iron Gall) There are some inks on their way to (hopefully) fit my preferences: Diamine Denim, Diamine Blue - Black, Diamine Twilight & Diamine Green Black. Do any of you have recommendations for blue/green-blackish inks I could try?

My boyfriend received this Montblanc pen as a graduation gift a few years back. He hasn't used it so we are thinking about selling it. Can anyone assist in identifying the model? Thanks in advance!
