Where did you get the Gandhi ink, was it from a MB boutique? I ask as I'd like some but don't want to pay the crazy ebay prices.

I couldn't resist the temptation of a brand new, boxed Diaries & Notes old style 2 pens pouch, natural tan color. It perfectly accommodates 2 of my 149s, and the natural leather color of the pouch give to my pens a very "light" and unserious aspect. It is a sturdy case, and I really like it. Thanks to Darius, Blade Runner, kaisede and Sunflowers to share their invaluable information (unobtainable in the official website) about Montblanc case fittings.

 

fpn_1309270180__diaries__notes_composit.jpg

 

How many colours were there for this pouch in addition to this tan colour? Beside two pen compartments, were there 1 or 3 compartments ever introduced for this range? When was this pouch introduced?

 

This coloured pouch is fabulous since it can keep 2 large 149s. Correct me if I'm wrong, I recall that only the sienna (in black) and florence (black & bordeaux) can keep large pens.

 

Dear daenghafez, the Diaries and Notes also exists in black, which is probably my preferred color for this pouch. I just bought one from an Italian ebayer for a very fair price.

 

shrinknib, in an older post I told you I saw one Diaries & Notes in tan in the same shop were I bought mine in Costa Rica. It was priced (if I remember well) around 90-95 dollars. I am in Italy now, but when in Costa Rica, I may search it for you. Let me know.

Thanks to all for the good wishes. :clap1:

Bry has been patient with me- I've been nagging him for ages.

I have been very keen on this pen for a couple of years and am thrilled to be getting what looks a good example.

It has a delicious OB nib and Bry has posted on this pen on the MB forum recently.

I ordered a Collodi pen, but at the time, MB had pushed back the shipment date until mid-September. I ordered each of the three inks as well, but wanted to postpone receiving them until the pen shipped, that way I don't have to pay so much in shipping costs. :gaah:

Just love those Diaries and Notes cases...they are stunning!

 

I just received my first 149, in mint condition, from the 80's with box and papers. Split ebonite feed, F nib. Just a wonderful writer. I am now hooked for sure on the 149...there will be more (maybe a nice B nib in the future?).

Yes, it is from a boutique, I was lucky to pick up the last bottle in the shop.

Just when I think "he can't possibly top that!" you go and buy another beauty. I think you need to see our friend Htin for your buying addiction :ltcapd:

 

Lovely pen. Look forward to your comments on it.

Arrived today - nice pen cosmetically but cork is shot and needs replaced and fine nib is a scratchy thing that needs a little work. It needs to go out for some TLC but that is always on the cards with these old ones!
