Putin Uses 149 And Montblanc Pen Stand !

[Pen Nut]

Just watched the BBC news at 1300 hrs and saw Mr Putin signing for his new 'acquisition' and noticed his weapon of choice was a 149 and after doing so replaced it in the correct pen stand.

 

Does this mean he has taste or means business ?

I guess both, 40 : 60.

Out of curiosity, how did you know it's a 149? From the penstand?

[Opooh]

Well , at least the man has good taste.

[Vlad Soare]

I think so, too. Putin is well educated and seems to be the kind of man who appreciates fine things.

Nicolas Sarkozy used MB's too...I remember when he took the pen of the hungarian president:

He had so sign a treaty in Hungaria and to sign the hungarian president gave him his 149,sarkozy found it to be nice and asked the president to keep it...evidently he said yes...there is a video on you tube that show it.

Dimensions really. Know they do the same stand & pen in 146 but it just looked 149 ish to me.

[littlepen]

Can't fault the man's choice in writing instruments.

[Toll]

I may have to rethink buying a 149....

Well, there is a penstand in front of each gentlemen, so its not just Putin
I think those are more likely 146s indeed.

That is the difference between pen lovers and politicians, we have to buy our pens.

He'll say he has one, and the media will trumpet it, but on further inspection it looks like a Bic crystal.
