Thank you, Lewis. Yes, it's a beautiful pen and if you like MB 149 size (which Duma is), you'll love it.

 

Here's a close-up of the beautiful barrel (pardon the dust - I did not notice until I took the picture!):

Hemingway, fine nib.

 

Herbin Poussiere de Lune- an odd but strangely suitable combination!!

Actually now the WE collection is fighting to stay... The morgan is up in the track as well... might do some changes, agatha and dumas for carnegie and morgan :headsmack:

 

BTW, tomorrow the Agatha will rock with Eclat... the 149 with visconti Turq.

Oh that shading... and line variation ... and and... I'm at a lost for words.

 

I've been looking for a pen that writes like that for a very long time. My Visconti Palladium italic comes close, but it's too delicate. The feed and nib are soft and easily misaligned. I've already had to realign it twice (my fault ... removed the nib unit and misaligned it badly & dropped it a second time onto carpet).

 

Do you have to be quite so delicate with the vintage 14C nibs? The modern MB 149 and 146 are stiff enough I'm comfortable writing on carbon paper with it. Mind you, I do have a light touch otherwise.
