Lovely pen! This one almost made my most beautiful list too.

I recently got one like that, myself, and yeah -- it's my most beautiful pen. I love most of my pens, for various reasons -- the Skyline is iconic, the Sailor is handsome, the Targa saw me through college -- but the Vac is drop-dead gorgeous.

 

They are probably the most beautiful pens I've seen in a while --I am trying to find one in my price range, but they're in such high demand, the prices keep going up. One day...

Under sunlight or similar bright lighting (taken with flash like in the picture above) the Montblanc Bordeaux is quite reddish as shown. Burgandy red like their ink. In regular room lighting it is darker, more burgandy.

 

Strange, my Montblanc 144 is Burgundy, and never looks bright red, no matter if the light is bright or if there's flash. But perhaps a trick of the camera...

Interesting. Here is my 146R in another photo next to a burgundy Kaweco Sport. The 146R is definataley redder than normal burgundy. Not a visual illusion. I wonder if there are variations in Montblancs burgundy/bordeaux?

I think the more i look at the Davina line the more i want to at least see on in person an write with one of them. I think if i hD grail one of the davinas would be it.

Nice looking pen but I admit I'm a bit distracted by that scary looking thing to the right of it in the pen case. That thing looks like some kind of medieval torture device.

Ha ha! Very good!

 

I saw this sort of thing at the London Writing Equipment Show, and I thought to my self "What the hell has that got to do with fountain pens?"

 

Nonsense I think.

The material on its own is nothing much. But, the pen taken as a whole -

 

 

 

Perfection.

At the present time that would have to be my kuro-tamenuri Nakaya picollo with ruthenium nib.

Lovely pen plus valves.

Do they give it a warmth to your writing?

 

12ax7's aka ECC83 - what do you have them in?

Not shown in the pictures is a small blue jewel recessed in the top of the cap. Perhaps you can see just a hint of it in the first and last photos if you look very closely, but you wouldn't know what it was from these photos without being told about it.

Between my Pelikan m800 tortoise and my 18k edison beaumont black/violet ebonite. Both are my most visually appealing and both were from my wife.
