What MBs are you using today?


Blade Runner

Recommended Posts

I'm using a 1970s 149 fitted with a 1960s 18C BBB nib that was worked on by Greg Minuskin. Eric Niksch put the body, feed and nib together and it is a wonderful writer! Using PR DCSSB in this pen.

I was carrying my 145, but just bought a new Mozart for carrying duties. They both have gold trim and I'm using black ink cartridges. We don't exactly have a selection of colors here, I might have to get some shipped.

This new silver Barley Corn 146 with a medium nib writes dreamily, inked currently with Sheaffer turquoise. However, the design is much less actual barley corn than the older model. The new model has a modest diamond appointment (oxymoron? perhaps not) on the clip. Both nice pens, yes?

Looks very nice, Professor Plume. And I'm still in awe of the Fitzgerald broad + Akkerman ink you used in your letter. Stunning!

 

Using a Montblanc 149 14C two-tone solid ebonite today. The 'dating charts' in this forum indicate 1970 - 80, so I'll happily assume 1974, the year I was born. Seller called the nib oblique fine, but the pictures and writing sample he included suggested oblique medium. Waterman Florida Blue ink.

Toting a 149, F nib, with Parker Black Quink. (Had Noodlers HoD in it, but ran out on the road and had to refill.) And my Fitzgerald, M nib, with Visconti Green. A good combination. :happyberet:
