The pen I was waiting for was a pre 1960's Parker 51 with a well worn nib, looks to be a thick medium line and it is nice and smooth.

 

Also it was my first non-modern pen. I got it for $5nz ($3.50us). I'm happy :)

Montblanc 146 with platinum trim

Montblanc 146 Silver Pinstripe with M nib (actually my husband's)

No pens at the moment, but awaiting a bunch of long international ink cartridges. :-)

 

They arrived today, from Illinois by way of Poland ... ?

 

Ah, well; even if the ink sucks, I have thirty long international cartridges that can be refilled with something that doesn't. :-)

Still waiting for my MontBlanc 31... :unsure:

 

The MB arrived this morning :) It is actually, I think, a Mont Blanc 22. It looks pristine, no scratches or marks. I'm very happy so far. The nib is a left oblique - my first oblique nib, so it may take a little while for me to get used to it.

The 22 will have two cap rings and a black crown. Should also have No: 22 on the lower ring.

Thank you for this information. The top of the cap (above the clip) is black, with the white logo inset. There are two rings at the bottom of the cap, one is very thin, the lower one is angled and has indeed got 'No 22' embossed into it. The cap is a nice snug push fit. I'm really impressed with how solid it feels :) There are no marks or scratches - beautiful.

I'd love to know what you think of the Polar Lights! I am teetering on getting this one. I can't stop looking at that design. Stunning.
