Congratulations on your find! I love the blue and the violet… what are their names? Do you have an approximate date for these inks?

They are labeled washable blue and violet.

 

Must be from the late 60‘s - 70‘s.

 

Cheers

I got Montblanc Bohème Bleu with M nib last night. I wrote a post to talk about it.

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 Im not sure ...

 

It really is a very orange-like brown.

 

Cheers

A 25 and 104G, truly exquisite taste my friend!

[zaddick]

Michael - a good haul. I am also a fan of the vintage inks. I wish they made some of the colors again. Enjoy!

My Grail Pen - Montblanc 146 G with long window from c. 1949. It should be the earliest variant of my favourite pen. Cant wait to hold it in my hands, and hopefully restore it with success! Fingers crossed that its not worse than described

[Michael R.]

Early 146s are great; long ink window, clip with long hump, hole in cap top, grooved ski slope feed?

Also there are slight differences to the imprints on the filler knob (large font).

 

Hope you will like it.

 

What's the nib size?

 

Cheers

Excellent!

 

Definitely among my favourites, I often think of this as the perfect pen - it's usually my answer in those threads which ask "if you could only have one pen ... etc".

The size, build quality, performance and nib are second to none. Montblanc at their best, in the days when fountain pens were still important instruments.

 

Congratulations. Please show us, when it arrives.

[Michael R.]

I'd agree if there wouldn't be the 136 ;-)

 

Same pen construction wise but somehow I prefer the flat top...

 

Cheers

Michael and CS388, Ill post pics when it arrives for sure!

 

I create distant but attainable grail goals for myself So, the 149 silver bands will be next and then 136/9 after than, and on and on ...
