The Meisterstück 149 Calligraphy Appreciation Thread

January 13

Here, together with my old OMAS Gentlemen, Montblanc Calligraphy flexible does the first calligraphy exercises of 2025. The orange characters are written with the OMAS and the yu-yake ink by Iroshizuku. The brown ink is Diamine Golden Brown, a color that I find extraordinary.

Beautiful writing and I love the ink you have chosen.

This Omas Gentleman pen looks like a great writer.

I have good collection of Vintage pens now, but I don't have any of Omas or any of Italian pens. I don't know why. I must think of having at least few good Flexible Italians Vintages.

Hope this is okay to post. I just saw that Izod pens in the UK is selling a 149 calligraphy. If you've been looking for one, it's here. Not my listing/not associated with them.

A few years ago there was an online auction of mostly niks and paper from bankrupt la couronne du conté. There was leichturm, midori, rhodia, lallo, rhodia etc.

there weren’t many buyers

so I ended with 7 Lots in the end . I managed to resell half of it to my local paperstore. I only kept rhodia, leichturm and clairefontaine which are good to excellent allrounders. The other brandstof need more attention in use.
there is enough stuff for the next 20 years.
