That's a really nice pen. Congratulations!

Closing another gap in the 149 variations collection:

P1000195 by pensninks, auf Flickr

 

...actually expected this to have an 14K and not an 14C two tone nib already.

Came in original 1980's brown faux velvet box and appears to be NOS.

And again another EF nib on a 149...

 

Cheers

Enjoy Michael. It may have been early in the swap to the new 2-piece body so received a 14C. I would have expected 14K also.

[Michael R.]

Thanks!

 

Also I‘ve discovered a few details on the earlier 149 nibs (imprints) worth documenting. Need to take some photographs soon...

 

Meanwhile I received an early 1970 146 variation with the old section collar, 14C nib and old style clip I was missing so far (also awaiting photography ;-)

 

I really need to update my 146 and 149 timeline overviews.

 

Cheers

Month ago Montblanc 145, my first MB in collection (I don't count MonteRosa, but I Have one. 145 is my first snowflake ). 145 was with medium nib, pendoctor tuned to fine (wet) and yesterday came MB 254. Ah! Both are Great!

 

Inks - I got a bottle of Lavender Purple, because I love purple Inks

Purple inks go with everything.

[Nikaa]

@Ghost Plane, that is true My favorite are J.Herbin Poussiere de Lune, LAmy Dark Lilac and more and more Lavender Purple.

 

Picture of my MB. Here is 145 with lovely norwegian Pan53.

 

 

And wonderful 254

My last purchase I'm waiting very impatiently

 

~ Cyrille:

 

Is something Coral coming to you?

If so, that's remarkable!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Will it have an M nib, or something else?

Yes indeed It will be a M.

You have to change the nib - M is too small. I have got OBB.

Great choice!

I have just purchase for the vast sum of 99p:

"Pen Nib Suitable For Montblanc 144 Fountain Pen. Liquidated stock, as new as only tested it writes.

Not verified as genuine".

​I am pretty sure it will be a Chinese copy but it will be interesting to see, I will report back when it arrives.

Whatever the result, I will only have lost less than a pound.

[Tom Kellie]

Yes indeed It will be a M.

 

~ Cyrille:

 

You've made my day and my week!

This is truly wonderful news!

I'll be looking forward to any photos you might share as that will be a treasure.

I hope that it will arrive soon!

If it's a copy from here, maybe it'll be ideal for writing 中文, characters.
