Demonstrators

Franklin-Christoph Model 46 in Italian Ice finish and Conid Kingsize Streamline Demo. The Italian Ice finish is clear under normal light but under UV it becomes kind of violet.

Somehow I missed these posts, oh wow!! I have to keep coming back to this thread to look at these...

 

Agreed zaddick .

Although I expect the most important reason to install an 14X filler is the fact disassembling in a later stage is much easier !

This is my home made MB139 demonstrator, using the original telescopic filler.

Here is a custom pen from Brad Torelli. Is is a transparent blue demo pen shaped like a MB 139. Brad used a plunger type filler as it allows for more ink volume and less maintenance than a piston filler.

 

 

 

Finally, continuing on my custom MB demo theme, here is a silver rings celluloid 149 that had the damaged barrel replaced with vintage celluloid.

 

 

 

Let me add a pic of a unique demonstrator that was presented to this forum a couple of years ago:

 

 

It's a Montblanc 139 demonstrator made by our very own Maxpens using vintage celluloid. Original thread here.

Here are a couple of interesting pens with Bock #8 nibs. The colorful one is from Shawn Newton, a piston filler made some years ago from Jonathon Brooks acrylic. I think Shawn called this Jackson Poillock's something or other. I forget. Anyway, it writes well (rhodium coated nib), holds a good amount of ink and does not dry out. As usual, Shawn did good. Sadly, the shape of the section is not the most suitable for my hand. It's here because, although it looks solid, it is actually quite translucent - so it's sort of a demonstrator.

 

The other pen is a Conid Caiso. When they were about to release the Caiso I took mine up in a small aeroplane and did some dipsy doodles up there. It didn't leak, no matter what I did to it, and I reported the result of a few test flights to Werner. Some months later this pen arrived as a complete surprise. It has an MP series marking ( "Masterpiece") and my initials. I expect the MP is on all of their "thank you" pens, and is there to make me feel good. It does do that.. Of course, I treasure the pen..

 

Inspired by Christof's recent posting showing some of his photo technique, I used image stacking to create this and kept it pretty much a documentary photo - at least for me.

I am new here and I admit it.

 

This 51 demo is one of my favorites.

[Droppingin]

My other favorite 51. It has fine to medium oblique nib.

Well I must say that a demonstrator 51 is actually pretty cool.  Is there a date code on the pen?

That 51 demo is SO cool

 

(and looked like it has a whole heap of siblings)

I have not contributed to this demonstrator thread so far... I must make amends

The 51 demo does not have a date code. Obviously aerometric filler so does that put it somewhere are late 40's to early 50's?

 

BTW, my name is Frank.

I have the same pen, never inked, and it also has no date code.  This was in my dad's collection.  I plan to use it one day, but not until I send it off to someone more qualified than I am to check it out.  The prospect of accidentally cracking or warping the hood is enough to deter me from trying to work on it myself.  I realize it *should* need no work, but better safe than sorry.

I remembered i hae a few more blue demo pens.

 

This is a custom 149 hommage pen.

 

 

And the famous Pelikan Blue Ocean limited edition.

 

 

One more of the Blue Ocean next to a Rossi 800N custom pen.

 

Hi @zaddick Can I ask if you still have this custom 149 ? 

Also have you already made a post on this pen and its details, then may I request a link to that post? 

Otherwise was going to ask if you have some more pictures. 

AND finally have you managed to get the MB star also in this pen?

I need to put this one back in rotation. 2015 Delta Dolcevita Demonstrator.
