Le Petit Prince 2019 is now back from Hamburg with its BB nib. Some photos to celebrate it

[Cyrille81]

A new pen arrived this afternoon from UK (thanks to Izods Pens Limited), not really foreseen but I like so much the nib I couldn't resist to buy it It is a F nib, the first in my collection and I'm really happy by the pen.

Now some photos:

 

And a writing sample and quotes of Cervantes with the F nib and the MB elixir parfumeur wood & tobacco grey ink that is really generous and fluid:

Last pen arrived in the collection for my birthday, the James Dean Special Edition in fine nib:

 

 

And with some writing sample with the new MB elixir parfumeur marine blue ink:

Dear Cyrille,

 

Happy Birthday! May you enjoy your latest acquisition (James Dean) in good health! Can you tell me about the writing characteristics of the Marine Blue ink that you used in your writing sample??

Dear Cyrille,

 

Happy Birthday! May you enjoy your latest acquisition (James Dean) in good health! Can you tell me about the writing characteristics of the Marine Blue ink that you used in your writing sample??

 

Even if I don't have the Petrol blue the color seems really close. The ink seems really generous and fluid and I don't know if it is the ink and/or the nib but my James Dean should be a fine nib and in my samples the result seems the same than a medium nib. I will see with another ink when I will have empty it to verify if it is the nib or the ink. Related to the flagrance I don't find it is marine perfume but more something like eau de Cologne. The ink doesn't seem having shading effect on the writing result.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch und alles Gute :-)


Nice Dean!

I like the Marine Blue a lot as well. Very good flow; it's the ink. The fragrance really reminds one of marine themed eau de cologne.

The color is much different from Petrol Blue; Marine is darker, less saturated, more like a really dark blue-black-grey. Petrol Blue is more intense and more like a dark turquoise blue color.

Enjoy in good health

 

Cheers

I add the photo already published on an other post my last buy, the limited edition of the Writers Edition Kipling. The thing I love the most on this pen is the top cap snow flake in mother-of-pearl so big and beautiful with red/coral color around. At the beginning I didn't want to buy it but when I saw it in real I couldn't resist to the skeleton patterns on the cap and the cap top. There is still the wolf head I don't like, it is too big for me but I can live with it

 

And a quick writing sample with Edelstein Olivine ink to wait the one of MB:

In the future I will take photo and mainly macro of some details of the pens but I'm not very good with the macro and my EOS 450D... So to begin I will post some photos taken with my iPhone.

 

Starting with my Leonardo LE 3000 fountain pen:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you will enjoy the photos and the quality is not too bad. It was the first limited edition from Montblanc I wanted to buy and it was the first I bought when I had the money for. I like very much the Skeleton version of the Atelier Privé 74 edition but not in my means.

 

 

very nice pictures!

Photos of my last purchase, the limited edition 1901 of the Great Characters Walt Disney:

Your excellent close-up images bring out details of the Limited Edition 1901 Walt Disney fountain pen.

Thanks especially for the cap and nib images, which satisfy my curiosity.

This very special pen will bring much writing pleasure in the years to come.

Congratulations!

Thank you Tom

Normally last one should be ordered still in 2019 but will arrive in 2020...

Finally the new pen has been bought and delivered in 2020 so it is the first pen of the new year 2020

It is the Great Characters Alfred Hitchcock to fill in the series and as I'm fan of the film-maker and master of thriller and horror I'm really happy to welcome it in my collection. The pen has been launched in 2011 with a nice vertigo effect on the lacquered barrel and 925 Sterling Silver fittings. On the 18k solid gold is engraved the self-portrait of Hitchcock drawn with only 8 lines.

And now some macro photos took with the Moment macro lens with my iPhone camera:

 

And some quote of the master and writing sample with a MB Alfred Hitchcock ink sample I received by a member of a French forum dedicated to fountain pen:

CONGRATULATIONS!

What a worthy addition to your collection.

As I have a bottle of Alfred Hitchcock ink, there is a faint connection.

What a splendid way to begin 2020!
