What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase?

[shrinknib]

Beautiful pens. Please educate me by telling me the name of the MB model. Please forgive me. I am lazy to go back to MB web site to search the identity of the pens. Thank you. Htin

 

It's Montblanc Jules Verne's Writer Edition set.

 

I love the Verne, it is just dreamy looking at the waves on the barrel- the nib is very beautiful as well.

And can be used nicely posted or not.

 

Toughest choice is ink color! :embarrassed_smile:

This 146 just in - had to share. Minimal ambering and lovely big BB nib. Images a bit rough - needs natural light but impatience reigned... Still not got around to inking, just looking and touching so far but working up to it.

Just inked and written a page in Diamine grey - seemed like an appropriate choice. Big stub nib performs beautifully!

 

 

Wonderful pen, perhaps the best looking postwar Montblanc user pen. It looks familiar owing to the curved celluloid lines on the barrel. I am guessing it came from a seller in Switzerland...?

Just received a mint MB 136 long ink window version with a very nice semi-flexible 2-tone nib.

I got the Oscar Wilde pencil last week from Dubai. The pencil was on display. I was pleasantly surprised that it was packaged in the Autograph Edition box.

Yes - you are correct. It is a lovely pen indeed. Quite a different look to the celluloid on this from many I've seen - lots of swirl rather than just striations. It is getting a little service right now in preparation for it doing some work. It's had quite a long holiday!

 

thanks

On Friday, I picked up a 149 EF nib, to replace an unrepairable 146. I was pleasantly surprised that it came so nicely boxed with a bottle of Mystery Black. I have yet to ink it, and hope it is worth the wait of many months.

I hope I'm not tempting fate here..........as these are yet to fly to me from USA! However, they will fly securely!!! Photo supplied by seller of course - more will follow when they land..............

There are some very pretty MB pens shown here.

 

The Virginia Woolf was on sale, in a German brick and mortar.

 

It beat out an on sale Aurora Verdi in the MB 'B' nib was smoother than the Aurora Fine semi-flex, and I had as good or better semi-flex nibs at home.

The Geha 725 Gold Wing I brought as test nib beat them both, easily.

 

One of those either Or's not both days.

A very sharp looking pen, my first springy nib.

A modern M, which is = to a vintage B. I'd checked it against my vintage M's and B's.

 

I'd wanted a B as was, so the M that is a B is just fine.

 

My MB 234 1/2 Deluxe ('52-55 only) still beats it easily. It has a semi-flex KOB. Well, due to balance it is my number one pen by a hair.

It's nib is grand. I have with luck some 10 grand nibs, that are semi-flex or slightly flexible/'flexi'.

 

Having enough semi-flex and slightly flexible/'flexi' nibs I can enjoy a nice '80's 400 regular flex nib or a MB springy 18 K smooth nib.

It's good to have a nice change of pace.

 

It's easy to become prejudiced by word of mouth or 'snobbery' of semi-flex. It's nice to grow out of prejudices.

 

It don't always have to be caviar.

 

The Woolf is up in my top six or seven sharpest looking pens. It makes no sense at that level to say one is sharper than the other. Each is extra sharp in it's own way.

1950s 144 piston filler, OBB with flat feed.

 

Am amazed how much ink the telescopic (?) piston draws into the pen. What a system!

 

Thrilled. Almost a grail. Been a long time coming.

 

And my first oblique, to boot.
