Looking at your good and well-formed handwriting, I would guess that you will be very happy with a BB 149, of any period!

 

Good luck for the hunt.

 

thank you very much :D

gopens.com and peytonstreepens.com have nice examples of preowned and vintage 149s. Good luck in your 149 quest.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Hello everyone I'm shopping for in the classifieds section at a good price one Mb 149 1900's used in near mint condition with fine nib.

 

You will be surprised that I could not find in B or BB :( and when they were available I did not have the XD money but I found this pen at an excellent price in the classfieds and I had to take the opportunity. :)
I do not think I will have much trouble with it being a fine nib I usually use wide nibs since they are quite juicy and for that reason they give me a pretty smooth feeling.
Wide Nibs I love for my personal notes, letters and practices etc but lately I have found myself at a disadvantage -_- because I do not know why in several places where I have to sign they give very poor quality papers and very small spaces :angry: to write and therefore it is Hard to write with BB or B nib in those situations that are happening to me often.
So I want to think that a fine nib could be advantageous for those uncomfortable situations maybe I would have liked a medium nib but I did not find it and I found this one.
By the way I'm pretty excited that my pen comes to my house, I hope to have my pen soon.
