Maybe the new one with 12 cases is little bit smaller in height. In width the 1914 fits without any issue but for the height the case is little bit too small and prevents to close it correctly.

Oh wow! I hadnt noticed this was 12 pieces and also the opening is slightly different sorry.. never seen that one before, Im guessing newer than the 10? But it doesnt fit the 1914 you say? Shame

Yes it is a new product by MB that maybe replaces the 10 ones. Yes a little bit too short. I will do a photo with the 1914 to show you.

The red and white snowcaps on these pens are striking!

@Pravda:

These are some photo to see the 1914 in the pen pouch:

 

 

And the result if we try to close it:

Thanks Cyrille. Its interesting because it looks just like the 10 pen case I have from the outside:

But I guess the layout is different from within:

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure to welcome a new member in my collection, the awesome Blue Hour Skeleton 149!

So now time for photos

 

First the box:

 

And now the pen!

 

Some details on the piston and internal mechanism:

 

Other photos will follow in the next post.

And now back on the different parts of the pen:

 

And to finish sample writing with the pen and its limited ink associated:

What you've posted is a master class in how to effectively photograph and present a fine fountain pen.

The photography quality inspires me, both for the technical refinement and the composition.

Thank you for the time and care to prepare and post this for all to enjoy.

The English language handwriting sample is especially thoughtful of you.

The images are comprehensive, answering numerous questions visually.

You've shown me the beauty of a very special pen which I've never seen in a boutique.

With Appreciation,

Tom K.

Congrats on such a fine acquisition.

 

May it bring joy to your writing!

Sooooo jelly.

The blue hour skeleton is my grail pen. So beautiful.

Enjoy the fine writing instrument!

I guess we’ll have to teach you the secret handshake now. *grin*

Thank you for all the detailed photos. This makes a nice resource for those buying in the future.

And now some photos to compare the Unicef and the Blue Hour skeletons :

And now some photos with a 149 to have an idea of comparison even if the skeletons and the 149 are more or less the same size for the barrel, cap and capped:

And now the weight of the different pens:

• Skeleton Unicef : 65,1g / 43g
• Skeleton Blue Hour : 66,8g / 44,1g
• 149 : 32,8g / 22,1g
