What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase?

[Opooh]

I got these 2 from an add in the local paper, it´s a danish 246 (piston filler) and a "2" bandless (button filler) also danish, they were both very dirty and encrusted in old ink, and judging from the sellers pics i was planning on using them for spareparts.

 

When i got them cleaned they looked a lot better and i decided to get them to write again, the 246 had a damaged penol nib, which i changed for a good penol ambassador nib (untill i get the right MB nib), which is smooth as glass to write with , it also needed a new cork, and that was about it.

 

The "2" only needed a new sac, and a nib adjustment before it was ready to write again, unfornutately has it got the wrong clip, but i hope that i can find the right one some day.

 

I allready have the exact same pens (in better shape though), but i got these for a price i could´nt say no to.

Again some great findings, Farmdogfan.

Nice!

 

I was always wondering about the 13X pens with the blank, single "not-raised" cap bands. I have both 134 and 136 in this configuration but have never found them catalogued.

 

As far as I know the original pre-war design had a raised single cap band, some war-time pens have non-metal cap bands but only engraved ones and later post-war pens usually have either three blank bands or 3 bands with the main one being engraved with "Meisterstück".

 

…so this one must fit somewhere in-between pre-war and war time since I have seen the with the early high cap tops only.

 

 

My recent purchases from today's Tilburg Pen Show are:

• Montblanc Defoe FP (will not get it in my hands until my birthday in a few weeks )
• Montblanc Friedrich The Great
• Montblanc collectors box

 

Cheers

Michael Friedrich the Great - that is a great looking pen. Pictures please ? What are the dimensions ? Is it Boheme size or bigger ?

Cheers

Great pen - I bought his brother recently

The titanium one? It's selling at a very high S$17,000 (US$13,379) here. Not sure if MB prices locally is over-rated.

More like his big daddy if you ask me.

Retail in Euro was 9,000 I believe.

Just to complete the collection: this is a pic of the Heritage 1912 3/3 edition (no, I don't have that - just took a picture )

[SE1980]

Retail in Euro was 9,000 I believe.

 

Thank you for the info, it's still cheaper there compared to here.

 

Cheers!

Congrats to both new Heritage owners.
