What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase? 2016

[Pravda]

Had to wait quite a while for my 1906 (last one produced...) Accompanied by the coral version and a new box.

 

 

Very nice Axis, congratulations!

 

When I saw this box I liked it immediately. If I ever settle down in one country, it's the first thing I am buying.

 

While visiting my home country last week, I got a glimpse of a similar desk set I purchased many years ago (but never posted on Most Recent Purchases) so I thought I would now. Sadly such items never see any use.

Dear Axis,

very nice!

Is the box is a custom-made production or free for sale?

It was an Andrée Putman for UNICEF thing, you sometimes see them on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Montblanc-Limited-Edition-Andree-Putman-UNICEF-149-Fountain-Pen-New-/191928278422?hash=item2cafd11d96:g:5rMAAOSw3mpXOOo5

That is a nice pen box

 

I think I am right in saying though that the pen itself is a standard 149? No different engravings on the nib?

[Pravda]

I think rugby66de was talking about Axis' box. It is standard production yes, but boutiques usually request them on order (particularly if its a smaller shop).

 

jsolares you're right! They're limited edition 4810.

 

da vinci thanks! And yes the pen is not any different from the standard 149.

Excellent choices. I have the same, although my 1906 is still in transit. Had to wait for an OM nib. The box is a thing of beauty.

Thanks Pravda for your answer. Now i will talk with my local Boutique about this (Axis) Box.

Dear Axis,

Sorry for replying late - as Pravda wrote it is free for sale. It's made for 20 writing instruments and normally only on order even with larger stores.

Thank you, Coral_Montblanc. Couldnt resist inking the pen. It has very smooth functioning piston and a very large ink capacity. A smooth writer too.

I was attracted by the design and bought one as well. Too bad that I can't use the smaller pen case to transport 149 around. There is no latch between the two halves of the case.

Even if there were a latch, its too pretty and fragile to have it scratched around sitting on tables and what not I think. Otherwise, I did use it at some point to transport a skeleton pen while traveling to keep it safe when I figured my pen case isn't rigid enough should anything happen.

I managed to pick up a brand new Albert Einstein LE 3000 fountain pen (M nib) in Jakarta airport AD for 50% discount!

 

W00t!

 

 

Worth flying to Jakarta just for the Einstein- wow! Need to see pics for proof though...

Got this in May. A Starwalker Urban Speed with a Fine Nib. I may be regretting the nib choice now, as lately I have been writing in print and I realise that for me, the fine nib does not really allow the expressiveness of the ink to show as much compared to a medium nib. What do you guys think?
