I have already posted some photos of the PoA 2014 Steinway 888 but now I have decided to ink it, I will share also some writing samples with them. This is my first PoA fountain pen but as soon as saw it on Internet I found it amazing (the 888 edition because I think the 4810 edition doesn't show the domain of Steinway). The price was of course a blocking factor but at the beginning of the year I had the opportunity to buy it so I decided to please me. In real the pen is is even much more beautiful than on Internet photos and I'm really to own it. When I received it, I didn't ink it because I was not sure if I wanted to use it or keep it new but this week-end I decided it is a dreadful shame to keep it in its box or in a pouch. Currently it is inked with Montblanc Lavender Purple and I like the result. For the future I will think to which other ink I can use in this pen. It is a real pleasure to write with the pen, the M nib is as other 146 nib sizing I have on other limited edition of Montblanc a little bit less flexible than the ones of my 149 and 149 UNICEF skeleton but it is not an issue. The pen without the cap is really light and easy and comfortable to use and write for long time. The cap is really weight and beautiful with a transparent window and a skeletonized to represent a piano frame in Au solid gold. And there is also the great and so nice big Montblanc star in mother-of-pearl! So now it is time for the photos: And now some writing samples with the pen and Lavender Purple ink: And the characteristics of the pen in French: In the future I will try to post additional writing photos using the pen.

Dear fellow FPN-friends Back again to show you my Patron of Art pen. It’s my first one and I want to give you the same feeling that I have got when opening it. So take your time (this topic will be picture heavy) and hope you will enjoy this moment together with me. When I received the bag I felt that the packaging of this pen is much heavier and bigger than I am used to have. I received it at my office and wanted to open this in a quiet moment to enjoy and take pictures of it step by step. This is the view of my glimpse at it. Now the opening of the bag starts. Hey MB changed the colour of the packingpaper (used to be gold and green) Let’s open it. Oh the wrong side. So you still don’t know which pen I got. Aah the moment of revealing the name of the POA. Wow this is the first time I see that even the penbox has been sealed. After opening the box. Finally everything unpacked Let the pictures speak for themself This pen reminds me of the Collodi First impressions of the pen is that has a classique appearance with its pianablack-laque and goldfittings. The section of the pen is not that steep as maybe previous factory pics shows. The grip is ok and I don't feel anything annoying when holding the pen as normal. So that's it for now. I am not planning to use this one, so no writingsamples with the pen this time. I think I will keep it to admire it now and then. Hope you enjoyed watching the pics. Happy Easter to you!
