Welcome To The Broad Side...

[BlueJ]

What pen sections are these set in? They certainly don't resemble any Montblancs I know.

[zaddick]

They are all custom pens. I have recent photos on my Instagram feed and will eventually post here on FPN too.

[zaddick]

Here are the pens...

You're a fountain pen impresario.

Month after month, you pull out of your top hat another group of marvels.

Thank you for posting the image above of such distinctive fountain pens.

Tom, thanks a lot.

However, the photo could have been so much better, but I ran out of natural light. OK, I admit, for a pic out of my mobile, it's acceptable ;-)

 

新年快乐，鼠年快乐

 

Cheers,

My latest broad (as in really broad) acquisition, the FC music nib, from the Philadelphia Penn Show:

 

 

The nib writes beautifully, with an excellent flow. It was carefully tuned for me. I would say it writes too large for everyday writing, but I will enjoy using it for calligraphy and whenever I need to make proclamations.

 

I also love the pen. Given my bad photography, it may be hard to see but it is a softly marbled gray resin with a burgundy top.

Beautiful. Did you have this specially ground for you? I would love to have another L2K with a stub or OB nib, perhaps an OBB nib.

Thank you. This is the stock OBB. I did not even have to do minor tweaks to this nib. It was perfect out of the box.

I am so excited. Soon, I will be able to join you all with a new BB nib on a Montblanc Great Characters Edition John F. Kennedy in Navy Blue! Our friends at Fritz Schimpf were able to locate one since this edition is no longer made and will not be made again. It is ordered, the new BB nib will be installed there and then it will be shipped to me. I can't wait and just had to share the news!

Congratulations. I am sure you will enjoy the stubbish nature of the nib and the smooth flow.
