What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase?

[NHsueh]

I recently got 2 new 146s and a 147. Only just a few months ago I got my first Montblanc fountain pen, and now I have 5. They are very alluring.

[pavoni]

Sounds like you got it bad NHsueh. Don't worry, you are among friends

 

Congratulations on your purchases.

 

Pavoni.

That's such a nice pen! I really like the cap and barrel threads. Sadly, if it is too small for you, then it's too small. I like the size, but I don't own one right now. Try posting the cap. The grip diameter is also a little thicker than the Chopin overall. Although if you hold the Chopin closer to the barrel threads it's a bit thicker than the Mozart there.

Still in two minds, but it is lovely, maybe I should just use it !!! and enjoy

Well, it's a 50's MB 146G with broad nib.

I'm a little bit proud of it at it is my first pen of that type that i completely took apart, cleaned, resealed and

reassembled myself. I've done that with others before, but here the section and the barrel must be separated using heat...

It was a lucky find on that "knowntoallofus" auctionsite. I got the bid for slightly over 130€. Maybe it was the engraving with initials.I'm a usern, no hardcore collector, so thats fine with me. I can blacken the initials later. I dont know wo L.A.M. was, but thank you.

Great additions everyone!

Whenever I've been away for a while, and check this thread again, theres always some amazing stuff in here!

 

Great l'Aubrac, and that handwriting has me jealous!

A nice 139 and a great Torelli!

Beautiful flex nib on that 149!

Even a 50's catalog that MB still seems to have...

 

And everyone else's acquisitions I didn't mention from the last couple of pages of course...

 

Enjoy your new pens!

 

Here's that 50's catalog you're referring to. Is yours the same?

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. Mine sports a palladium nib. Pretty flexible too.

You're right to be proud about it. Beautiful 146 with that long visulated windows. A very early model. The personalisation is a very little shortcoming that is far compensated by the fact of getting such a beauty for that price. Congrats!!!!!

Yea, pictures please. These 234 1/2 are my favorit MBs.

My catalog is a different one, the date one the first page says "1959/1960"

My last Montblanc was a 80s 146 won on eBay for a very reasonable price. It has a clear ink window, W. Germany on the clip ring and an 18 k fine nib. And, due to necessity, this was the first Montblanc pen of mine that I have taken apart. It had a large deposit of dried ink on the brass piston part (I really wish I would have taken before and after pictures) and it took quite a bit a work to get it clean. The pen now works perfectly and is a fantastic writer.

 

I have to say, I love the process of restoring a pen. I didn't know this pen had these issues when I purchased it but putting that time in and seeing and using the end result is very gratifying. I feel like I have a stronger connection to the pen.

finally i did get a danish coral red MB, it is a masterpiece 25 with a OB nib,

 

 

 

i put in a new sack and it writes nicely.

When capped it has exactly the same lenght as a fifties 146.

Congrats! I have one of those and it is a great pen. I love the innovation of the pushknob filler. Mine is having a new sac fit at the moment. I hope it gives you years of pleasure.

[farmdogfan]

Thank you very much Orfew.

yes, no risk of losing the blind cap here.

[pavoni]

Well done farmdogfan and many congratulations on acquiring that Coral MB 25 you were after. It really is a super looking pen in those proportions, little wonder it writes well also
