Is that a two-fer?

Just looking at your Montblanc I noticed the nib is made in Paris/France.

... dead nibs on the battlefield, after the fight ...

 

 

... please, make a minute of silence in their memory ...

My longed for Pilot Bamboo arrived today and I couldn't resist a snapshot of its special nib. I love the contrast matte/glossy.

 

It's now, thanks to you, looking like a two pen race for me in the new year - a Bamboo or a Tortoiseshell M800.

Ooo that nib looks like I'd never put it down. :)

Here's what a nicely customized M800 nib looks like when dropped three feet to a hardwood floor, perfectly nib first:

Fortunately Mr. Minuskin was able to repair the nib for me.

That really hurts to see it up close like that.

Hi Greg,

 

I know the nib is bent, but have you tried writing with it?

 

I'm just curious to see what it would feel like with the tines at that angle. It would allow the hand a more sweeping writing style I guess

I was trying to use my phone's macro setting to look at my Namiki Facon's nib, I guess it came out ok.
