Love the Steinway, I hadn't realised before that the cap is transparent, the photos show it off beautifully.

 

Nice touch of the Mb folks to match the price of a grand piano!

And now some photo of my last purchase, the Hemingway fountain pen. It doesn't to be presented anymore in more details so let's go for the photo! It is a F nib never yet inked. I will do it soon and will share some writing examples. It will be my first F nib by Montblanc so I hope I will like it

Thank you for sharing a generous set of photos.

Terrific images of a great pen.

May the F nib be a fine writer for you.

Is that leaning on the EF side? Or is it my big nib bias skewing my perspective.

 

I scrolled back through from the beginning just to enjoy these beauties all over again.

The vendor sold it as a F nib but indeed when I tried to write with it, it is very fine writing. I have no EF or F nib so I can't compare and don't find something on the box. If you want I can try to post another photo of the nib with a better visual angle and a writing sample.

Very nice!!!

Again, many warm thanks for the nib images and handwriting sample.

You help me better appreciate your treasure.

I'm glad to see Montblanc Royal Blue in such an outstanding pen.

And this is a writing sample with the pen:

Beautiful!

Thank you. That looks a lot like EF to me. Not as narrow as Tom Kellie's bespoke EEF, but certainly on the narrow side. Perfect performance for narrow grid paper.

Concur!

The clear lines on the grid paper, the exceptional beauty of the pen, the fine handwriting — lovely!

Such images are nourishment to the soul.

Thank you.

Wow, talk about eye candy. Beautiful pens. Thank you for sharing the photos.

Ça me fait un grand plaisir de lire vos messages écrits en français.

Your handwritten messages and the images of your fountain pens are very enjoyable.
