Beautiful 142 @Boris-Ludwig

So I bought EF's for work pens.

 

I too prefer EF but also use OB/OBB. Hope to get a O3B.

 

Good choice with the pens.

[Boris-Ludwig]

Lovely pens! Congratulations!

 

Thank you, yes they are.

 

I'm enjoying my small family of MB's

Andy, I've been admiring these for quite a while and I finally thought I'd like to admire it in the flesh. I'm glad I did as it's a thing of real beauty.

After a trip to Las Vegas days before a milestone bday, I'm now waiting for a red gold 146 with an EF nib.....

Another 149, but with an interesting nib. Pics to follow.

This addition was actually from back in January, but only have gotten around to uploading photos now.

PoA 888 Ludwig, probably my favorite pen to date...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think it's a splendid design: clean as a whole, extremely detailed on close inspection.

Just two quibbles:

- the little ruby on the central ring does not line up with the clip

- I can't quite shake how the crown comes off as if it might be plastic. I think maybe this bit would have been better served w/ a slightly darker, neutral colored metal/alloy

I stopped by the MB Boutique yesterday to pick up the Le Petit Prince (LeGrand Resin with a F nib) on hold for me. They had a great inventory of LPP pens but only one notebook which I also purchased. I really like the pens design, appearance, and color (a warm brown).

After the Agatha.....again tempted by the WE pens...

Like the late adopter I am, my latest MB purchase is a Heritage 1912. Took me ages to get this one.

 

 

Can't stop admiring the snowglobe-like finial.

 

 

I love the tactile feel of the mechanism and the amazing, springy, smooth F nib.

 

 

Been using it for the past week, and as soon as I have more experience with it I'll either write a standalone review or post in the 1912 thread. But so far, I'm hooked.

 

 

 

Geodesigner...

Are you still enjoying the Heritage 1912? Pen looks beautiful.

Mine should be coming in 2 weeks...can't wait.

Regards,

David

I found a SE 149 75th Anniversary to complete my 149 & 146 set

 

 

[Nathanb]

And together with my other 149's

 

LE 75th / SE 75th / W-Germany / Platinum

[thygreyt]

Wow. They look amazing! You are missing a modern standard 149!

[siddr90]

Just ordered a simple black Rouge et Noir with a fine nib.

 

Waiting for the stock to arrive at Iguana Sell!

Geodesigner,

Glad to hear it...

Nice view...

Trying to divide between MB Lavender Purple or MB Swan Illusion for the first fill.

Hi Geodesigner,

Have you developed scratching on the barrel of the 1912 from just capping the pen?

David
