The skeleton blue hour is a pen I’ll probably never own. Thank you very much for these high quality pictures.

When I read a pen review I’m always frustrated when there is no writing sample. Yours is amazing!

My Blue Hour skeleton is back from MB for nib exchange this morning with a gorgeous O3B nib very generous in ink :

 

And for comparison the M nib:

 

And now little test with writing samples:

 

The exchange has been really fast by MB (took around 2 weeks). Very happy with the result and this new nib, now I just have to write!

The new pen of the day waiting tomorrow to receive 3 new beauties to complete my collection. Today it is the famous James Purdey & Sons Special Edition that has already been presented on the forum. So few photos and a writing example with the elixir parfumeur collection wood & tobacco grey.

Some new photos of the Heritage 1914 Coral of some details zoomed of the pen:

 

[Cyrille81]

Yesterday the Heritage 1914 Black LE1000 arrived at home to join and accompany the Coral LE333 I already have. Some photos of the new one with the following main differences: body and cap is black and the different finitions are in platinum as the nib 18K.

 

And to finish a little writing sample:

How does the weight of the James Purdey & Sons fountain pen compare to ordinary 146's during writing? Heavy? light? I didn't realise that it had the MOP for the star/snowflake, Now that looks quite awesome, Been contemplating on getting one, but as Pravda had suggested, it is better to see the pen in person when deciding to purchase this masterpiece, the fact that there are different shades of wood makes the pen unique all on its own, I'd probably prefer a darker shade of wood material. But who knows, I might also be partial to a lighter shade, that is if I get to see the pen in person.
