Hello ak47, the sample writing is already on the paper, I used the pens to write with.

I have seen  but i wish another one with these. If you can and want, obviously.

Hi

[max dog]

I currently have my 149 Calligraphy inked with MB Irish Green, and 146 EF inked with J Herbin Scented Red Rose using a Rhodia Web journal.  

 

I sometimes like to alternate on a page between two inks I like for a colour contrast. Had Mystery Black and Red Rose going for a while, and switched over to Irish Green for a change. 

 

The scented Red Rose smells nice.  

 

Thanks for looking.

Hi

Here you go… using plain copy paper.

I just added a 149 to the family. I flushed and cleaned it out. Added some grease. It's running as slick as snot. However, I don't know what to ink it with. Any ideas?

I don't have that ink. I did fill it with Diamine Aurora Borealis and it started feathering. I'll flush it and try another ink. This 149 is a gusher. A little too much so. I'll need a drier ink.

Always have my 149 out and about, ready to go. An older pen, FPH (i bought it there pre-owned many years ago) just helped me date it to 1970-75 vintage. Beautiful pen to write with, so glad I have it. I was fortunate to buy an outrageous quantity of MB Racing Green when it was discontinued so it's usually fueled with that.

I was looking at the color and it seems to be very close to Diamine Majestic Blue. Which is one I like and use quite frequently.

not using today - but did win on ebay...so with luck using in a week or two?

MB 225

a little worried...the more I look the more I think there's something not right with the clear inner tube for the piston...guess I can only wait and see

I keep on using the Noblesse and the Slimline, as usual, can't stop using them. Maybe I'll ink a Meisterstück to give them some airing.

 

@cat74, that is a truly amazing pen, a piston filler where the section can be disassembled exposing the piston for ease of cleaning and maintenance. I wasn't aware of their existence, and can only say the idea is truly genius and a pity it is not still used today.

[Nethermark]

It's a Montblanc 74 this time. I really like the 14/24/74 MB pens and I think they are quite underrated
