What Mbs Are You Using Today?

Everything about this pen exudes class. Tastefully executed.

 

Years ago, I was at a reception where a guy was describing a woman he had met by saying, "She just eluded class." I almost spit my Champagne out.

Hi all.

New member here.

Could someone please tell me which model Montblanc Meisterstück this one is? Name and series or year?

I received it as a present from a chief minister of a state long ago the office of whose often received original Montblancs as presents from the dealer himself. So, genuine piece, for sure, and I did all fake tests to doubly make sure. Writes like a dream although the nib is too broad for my taste. Medium would've been perfect.

Also, I lost the piston converter and don't feel like buying catridges. So, will it be alright to fill the barrel with ink directly as we do in eyedropper models?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I would not eyedropper a metal pen barrel, especially if it is solid silver. A new Montblanc converter should be compatible with this pen.

Thank you.

Life on the broad side. Double broad, really.

Terrific photograph of what appears ti be an outstanding nib.

Thank you for posting that.

It's the kind of nib image which makes me smile and pick up my own pens.

From what I can see it appears to be a Montblanc 144 "jungle eyes" citrine, possibly Madeira model. I don't have mine to hand to check the detail, but I am sure with this information google will one able to help you out.

Same pen, different ink

 

[kandarp]

I've flushed all my EF and F pens and have the following inked

 

Homer (OBB) with Montblanc Turquoise

 

149 (BB) with Kon-Peki - This writes much wider than my other BBs

 

144 (OB) with Montblanc Racing Green

[Ghost Plane]

When you run out of Racing Green, try BungBox Dandyism and see if you like it. Nice collection!

[kandarp]

Thanks. I'll order some right away.

Nice :-)

@fountainpencrazy based on that photo the 149 14C looks like a wet B or BB. 3B has a different shape to the tipping from my experience. Still, looms like a nice, luscious writer worth of using on a regular basis. Enjoy.

 

Also is the Turquoise the old turquoise from the 1980s/90s or the newer UNICEF ink (which is actually labeled as turquoise on the sticker stuck to the bottom of the bottle)?

[kandarp]

Thanks. That's good to know. So this is very wet BB, I'm loving it! I had posted about this 14C Tri-color nib a few days ago. It's extremely smooth and quite flexible.

 

The Turquoise is the old one, not the new UNICEF one. I like using their older 'shoe' bottles.
