What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase?

[Miadhawk]

The iconic 149 and a bottle of winter glow ink.

 

I'm now eyeing a Boheme Noir... somebody stop me!

 

 

Nope! I just got one earlier this week. The B nib is springy and is a joy to use. It looks fantastic with tasteful trim on the resin and the retractable nib is just so darn cool.

My wife just surprised me by reserving an Einstein for me. The local boutique says it should be here in about 1 week. For those of you that have purchased one, how do you like it?

I haven't purchased one yet, but saw the first one to arrive at the boutique at South Coast Plaza! A beautiful pen! You will be happy. Perhaps your wife can reserve one for me....

Congratulations on your pending purchase. I've had mine for about 2 months now. I love it. Its very weighty and is oozing quality. I have a medium and it is silky smooth to write with.

 

Being platinum plated a large range of inks look good in it. I've experimented so far with grey, black and dark blue. I think the contract of a good blue and the silvery barrel is excellent.

 

The only slight negative I have with it though is that the grip section is metallic which can make it quite slippery if you are used to using pens with a plastic section (this is my only non-plastic section pen). This is only a slight issue and like any pen you find the best way of holding it so this doesn't prove an issue to me now.

Thanks for your input. I can't wait to try it!

Thanks mate! I just couldn't resist this one, been looking for this nib for eons. :embarrassed_smile:

Kai, how does it write?

I also have a 136 with a palladium F nib that's soft and smooth, and it is bliss to write with.

 

I couldn't say the same for my 234½ P nib though...

Here's my war time 136 with a smooth Palladium nib. I particularly like the short cap top and the clip, reminds me of the 23x series.

Uhm...your left is my right, I presume ? (OK, I know what a 149 and a Boheme look like)

 

What I don't know is the green and black striated pen on my left. I'm very tempted to say it's a Stipula Etruria (mainly because of the clip and the cap band) but I have never seen one like this before.

Well done, no problems here!

Beautiful pen Soot, I love how there are so many different styles of 136

Hi Bob, I received the pen yesterday and have been using it constantly. Nib is like my other steel nib 136 - quite flexible smooth. Condition is fair, as the ink window has ambered and the nib is a little worn. Some photos:

No problem, the no. xx6 size is my most preferred size of all MBs.

Thanks! I didn't know there was this type of 136 until I saw it, and it caught my attention right away.
