Pics Of The Heritage 1912 (Resin Version)

[meiers]

So, if you had to rate it, would it be semi-flex or medium-flex or even better; can somebody post some writing samples showing the flex capacity of this nib? thanks!

This pen is my current favorite.

May I contribute with some bad pics to this topic?

I am the happy owner of one of these pens since a couple of days and I wanted to take some pics of it with other pens more or less related in style.

 

Some rest after sport...

I hope you enjoyed them as I do.

Thanks for your time to share those beauties with us.

If you hold the pen under running water with the nib facing up, water will get into the nib retracting mechanism. That apparently can compromise the lubricating oils and eventually cause friction etc.

It's ok to run the pen under running water with the pen facing down.

Thanks a lot for that, that is the answer I was looking for.

Sent my pen in for an OBB =D

Please keep us updated with the turnaround time and the result of nib exchange.

The boutique said that this is a special edition pen, and so they don't ship in nibs for exchanges at local service centres. All nib exchanges require the pen to be sent back to Germany. I'll keep everyone updated, and post photos as soon as the pen comes home.

I'm curious as to how it comes out. I got an OB which writes more like an OM 149.

I finally went and had a play with the pen at the Sydney MB boutique today and fell in love. It feels so good! Nice and heavy and balanced. Nib was so buttery smooth. I paid a deposit and put my order in. Can't wait!

I had to have a second one. I sent it off to Hamburg for an OBB.

Went to the local boutique today to feel the pen. Resin was nice, but they had a titanium model as well. Wow, that was drool-inducing. Now i just have to look under the couch cushions to see if I have $13K under there.

So, on Saturday I dropped my 1912 and 146 Doué off at the Boston boutique because ever since I switched to using Rhodia paper a couple of weeks ago both pens refused to write and when they did they skipped, dried out, railroaded. Very frustrating. Tried half-a-dozen different inks, cleaned pens repeatedly but they refused to write. Worked find on Moleskine. Has anyone had a similar issue with their 1912? Also, they wow-factor of the pen is wearing off on me and I find myself using it less and less as I use my vintage ones more and more.

I used mine for the whole day today. I use Rhodia and I have not noticed the issue you mention. There is however, a large difference between how the 1912 writes on my moleskin compared to the rhodia. On the Moleskin my f nib writes a medium or even broader line. On the Rhodia it writes a much more fine line. My 146 writes well on both the Moleskin and Rhodia with no large difference in line width.

Hmmm...my 2 pens seemed to stump the manager at the boutique as well. We filled them up in the store and tried them on Rhodia and similar paper and they wouldn't write. I don't know why switching papers would do it to them but I'm hoping the repair department has an answer.

Mine writes on rhodia and clairefontaine paper.

I have had no issues writing on Rhodia or Clairfontaine with my 1912.

Mine must be a lemon or oddball then.

It just needs some attention from a soulmaker in Hamburg. Edited October 29, 2013 by meiers

Here it is with its sibling: the Montblanc 100 years historical pen from 2006. As you know, the 100 years is a cartridge filler and the nib does not exactly retracts, but slides in the style of the Moore vintage pens:

Even the clips are very alike. I did not like any of them at first, but now they're beginning to grow on me...

Great, now there is a new MB that I want need. And there I thought I was out : (

The historical pen is quite lovely, although much lighter than the 1912. Two great pens.
