Flushed and refilled my broad nibbed 149 - out with Legal Lapis, in with Iroshizuku Asa Gao.

 

Both are really decent inks... Although, the Asa Gao really jumps off of a "whiter" paper...

(However, gotta love the German-made MB!!!!)

My 149, XF nib, with Herbin Eclat de Saphir has been the main workhorse today. Backed up with my 146 with Noodlers Eel Black.

 

For certain tasks, I switch from blue ink to black ink, so certain things will stand out. (Yeah, I do use other colors, but those were in my Bexley's today, not my MBs.)

"Here was a man who had said, with his wan smile, that once he realized that he would never be a protagonist, he decided to become, instead, an intelligent spectator, for there was no point in writing without serious motivation." - Casaubon referring to Belbo, Foucault's Pendulum.

MB 149 F and Waterman Florida Blue ink. I bought this pen about a month ago as my first MB fountain pen and I think I've now really got used to it. Or at least very attached :)

MB 146 and 144 bordeaux, with the falsely-accused but utterly beautiful MB Blue Black ink.

Great photo! Thanks for posting it. Who wants to play the "dating game"? What are the approximate dates of production for these two nibs?

Hi Barry,

 

I know the approximate age of the one on the left.

The other I got from Norbert Otto, and don't know its age, although I have a guess.

 

Cheers.

I am abysmal at this game, but I'll guess.

The nib on the left- circa 1980

The nib on the right- circa 1985?

 

I noticed the inner engraving at the end of the nib completes a round return rather than a point forward, and both nibs are 18K rather than 18C. The two-tone versus three tone is a clue, but I am not fluent enough yet to use it.

niksch always wins these games. :vbg:

Beautiful photo!
