Congratulations on a distinctive new fountain pen!

What nib does it have?

Does it write well for you?

I'd never heard of this model until you mentioned it today.

It looks like raindrops on a pond surface.

Thank you and enjoy writing with your pen.

Sorry to answer late.

This pen catch others attention due to the circles design and the amethyst (synthetic) stone on the clip. The pen is amazing! And what I noticed is that the body when you put some sun light on it, it becomes lilas, as the stone! The body is made of antracite, a type of coal! Rose gold finishings. Amazing. It writes very well, M nib (the nib size that is my favorite - all purposes and dayily use).

I puted online some pictures on my instagram account : https://www.instagram.com/admmarcos/

Fell free to follow me on there. I am dedicating my Instagram account to Montblanc pictures by the way.

The circles on the cap, as on the body, is to represent the movements of a ballet dancer, it is a feminine version, inspired on the previous Boheme lacquer pearl, but not so feminine as the former.

Take care!

Thank you so much for the detailed follow-up. Now I understand why its such a distinctive pen.

Unfortunately, where I work and live doesn't have Instagram, Flickr, Facebook, Twitter or Google available.

If it did, I'd be honored to follow you as I enjoy your pen images.

It's especially nice to understand the underlying significance of the pen decoration.

Best of all, the M nib writes well for you.

With Appreciation,

Tom K.

I love knurled sections... and here I thought that they were an innovation when they appeared on the Starwalkers.

 

There are some striations on the back of the pen, about 1/3 of the way from the end. I think I've seen some vintage deskpens that are convertible -- a portion of their back end can be removed to convert it to a pen that can be carried. Is that the case here, or are those simply cosmetic? Or are they related to the filling mechanism?

 

Lovely pen!

Yes, the blind cap from a 212 and 202 fits, and turns it into a "normal" pen.

The "blind cap"! That's the word I was looking for. Thank you.

Managed to get a very good deal on a poor man's Exupéry which I hope to receive when I next arrive on dry land. I chose a Fine nib, but might swap it for an OM. I really like my OB 149, and so this makes me curious for the OM, which I have never had. I also like Medium for daily writing, but as this is often the only choice for used pens, I always get a rarer nib when buying new!

Hello!

I just received my MontBlanc Johann Strauss Ballpoint and I am loving it. I will be doing a review of it soon.

Indeed.

Picked up this mini pen yesterday: Mozart Meisterstuck Solitaire Platinum-plated. Don't pay full retail very often, however, I've eyed this little pen for a few years and since the Mozart is being discontinued why not. Now time to decide what size nib to exchange the standard M for. I love the matelassé patten and MoP star.

I got in the mail today my first MB fountain pen. Its a 90's 146 in M nib from Zaddick. I have two ballpoint MB's but not a fountain pen. I am enjoying the pen! It looks much nicer in person then the pics. There is just something about black MB's that show off micro scratches in pictures that are hard to see normally.

Here is a pics of my other MB's

I really do enjoy it. I bought its brother 146 B as well, but sent that one off to nibsmith to have it reground into a oblique smooth cursive italic. I switch off between it and a Pelikan M805 for my daily use. My other inked pens sit unused. I am thinking of cleaning out many of my other pens. The 146 is just so nice other pens just don't have the interest they used to.

 

I am hoping USPS will deliver a Boheme today to add to the MB collection. The tracking says today but has not been updated since it passed through customs on the 18th.

Haven't posted in a while but I've made a few acqisations lately:

 

• Antoine de saint Exupéry (SE) with matching ink which returned from its nib exchange to EF; lovely shopping experience at the London New Bond Street boutique
• a matching dark blue foldable Sartorial pen case
• Urban Spirit pen pouch for six pens
• Unicef ink
• Unicef Argumented Paper (blue leather)
• 1930's Meisterstück 25 Safety
• 149 (frankenpen with mixed parts from different periods of time; mostly used to complete other pens with correct parts of their time)
• early resin 149 with 18C nib and friction fit filler; stiff but nice writing OM nib
• Thomas Mann, with a true medium nib
• Heritage Rouge et Noir Coral with a soft medium nib
• mid to late 1930's Meisterstück 104G with a very fine writing medium (???) nib
• Legends of Zodiacs; the Dog red ink
• a couple of 1970's inks in "unbreakable" plastic containers

Congratulations, Michael. That's quite a hoard!

 

Those plastic ink bottles are quite an excellent design, to get the last dregs of ink into your pen.

 

Thanks for sharing.

[Ghost Plane]

Oooh! What’s the orange ink?

[Michael R.]

Which one?

 

One is vintage ruby red and the other one is coffee brown.

 

I assume that the brown ink might has changed over the years. From my experience the inks stay good longer in glass bottles but not in plastic bottles. But I‘m not sure ...

 

It really is a very orange-like brown.

 

Cheers
