Something a little different... not that I don't have more pictures of the MB 149 or MB 146.

 

Many thanks to Bryant for this wonderful example of a juicy, wet, broad MontBlanc 18k nib. Stubbed by Mike into a smooth stub with nice line variation. Almost like painting as the ink flows onto the page with shading and character.

 

MontBlanc Dumas, 1996. Inked with Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo.

 

Absolutely beautiful pen... the dark lustrous brown resin contrasting with the marbled, mother of pearl resin reminiscient of the beaches and cliffs of Monte Cristo.

okay... perhaps I used a bit of poetic licence... and desk was a bit cluttered, hence the photography.

I bought my Nicolai I last Friday when I was looking for a ballpoint. Things got complicated for me when they aligned the Ramses (FP and RB), the Nikolai I (FP and RB) and a rolled gold LeGrand RB in front of me. I needed a BP but... long story short I got this one for about USD 215. I was tempted to get the LeGrand RB (for USD 390), but it is a little bombastic for using it in a business meeting. I'm starting to love that jewelry store with lots on NOS Montblancs.

 

I'm still looking for a BP though.:gaah:

Today I am using my vintage MB 146 OB filled with a burgundy color mixed from Herbin Bleu Azur, 1670 and a bit of Café des Îles for getting a nice brown shade :cloud9:

I write with a 146 black resin with gold trim. Currently it's at Montblancs repair center for a nib exchange for a fine nib. I bought this pen 3 years ago and I remembered I had my eyes on the 149 but the lady insisted me to buy the 146 because the 149 would be too big for my hands. I thought it was strange that the sales lady didn't want me to buy a more expensive pen but she was right in the end.

 

Thanks

Brad

Thanks Blade Runner ! I got that pen from a nice german gentleman on eBay

Along with the 146 I received a Pelikan 400, all packed in a nice vintage pen case that came as a bonus :cloud9: I'm also waiting for an 144G OBB and another 246G M from the same seller. I'm not very fond about bidding on vintage stuff from eBay, but my experience with that guy has been very pleasant. As usual no association, just a happy recurring bidder :)

It sounds like you found a nice source. Continued good luck.

The finest of non-FP writing instruments:

 

The 146 sized roller, PT, with a medium blue MB refill - it is a very nice refill holder... Yes, it does kill me how much it cost - but, on the other hand, it is very well made, fits my hand well, and is perfect to provide to those who would make V's out of an FP nib.

 

Oh, and +1 to Raul for the photo and that great looking pen... Almost makes me want to get a few vintage MB's!

uh, using a montegrappa symphony pen in tan with Copper Burst colored ink... I had to pull myself away from the montbalnc limited editions I have been using. A nice change of pace. Bought it from pensinasia.com..

My first 149....I think I may be able to see what all the fuss is about :thumbup:

A juicy fine point 146 with platinum trim filled with Sailor Kiwa Guro black ink...

 

Of course, it is paired with a GT 144 ballpoint for those who try to nail the paper to the desk top...

 

And, the red Holiday MB ink in a Sailor demonstrator...
