I look forward to that Axis.

 

In the meantime here is a picture to evidence my, rather busy, weekend at the excellent Madrid pen show...

Seems to be a quintet, congrats.

Thanks Opooh.

 

I was really pleased to get the Ramses and Citrine which can be hard to find. Making some progress with collecting all the 144/145/Classique variants now.

 

The Hemmingway has been a longed for pen for sometime. This one has a broad nib, and the pen has matched my expectations.

Just obtained a Sterling Silver 146 in the barley corn pattern (marked W. Germany) from a trade. For a pen that is at least 25 years old, it's in great shape!

That is a lovely 146 shuuemura. The silver adds some heft to the pen in my experience.

 

A lovely group of3 quality pens in your picture

How well does it take ink? mine feathers and has show through

Hi,

As promised an update of the notebook. Have written a few pages. Experience so far are good. The first lines I wrote were with a 149 B nib filled with midnight blue and the other lines I wrote with a fine nib with royal blue.

No bleed through and it doesn't feather at all.

The notebook I have has silver lining and a silver Montblanc star on each page. Do you have the same one?

Congrats that you got your favorite pens! The Ramses & Citrine are also pens I''ve been longing for.

Da Vinci, what an amazing set of pens! They look great!

[da vinci]

Thanks all for your comments. I will try and update my specific 145 collection thread over the weekend as well.

Waiting on a 22 in the mail right now. Huge fan of pens of that era and style, so I'm excited.

Just purchased an NOS 2001 Patron of Art - Marquise de Pompadour from Montblanc boutique in Hong Kong. What a lovely pen.

I have a 24 from the same series, and they are nice pens.

Very good writers too.

Glad to see another member from HK. If I were right, you get it from the MB boutique at Admiralty.

Just did a BIN on ebay for what I think is a 164 ballpoint. $79 shipped with a leather pen case from a NY thrift shop. If it's a 161, I'll be thrilled.

Bought 2 more 149s this week. One is an 18c nib likely from the 1970s, the other a 14k from the 1980s. Looking forward to seeing their condition.
