I've just had this delivered today!

I can't afford a new MB and can barely afford many of the second hand ones either. I picked up this Starwalker though for £147. It's my first MB and I don't have any cartridges yet. I dipped it into my ink though and it writes really nicely.

In comparison to some of the pens above it's a small fish, but to me it's awesome and I'm really looking forward to getting it inked up properly.

I was in a jewellers yesterday who carry a few Montblanc pens, just on the off-chance in case they had any of the new Leonardo Chalk Red ink. Unfortunately they didn't, but fortunately they did have a couple of bottles of Racing Green, which I understand is quite hard to come by these days? I also picked up a bottle of Violet, which was also in the old shape bottle.

Not sure I need two bottles, but since they were there, I thought why not... I know some people really love the colour, so worth a try I suppose.

If you ever want to get rid of one, please let me know. Great pickup

In order to appreciate the sweet, you must truly taste the bitter....

Good find! The ink is certainly much sought-after. I too happened to come across one forgotten bottle in a stationery here in San Sebastian, in the Basque Country and later on a couple of boxes of RG ink cartridges in another stationery in Madrid.

My most recent MB purchase..

A 22 from ebay. Hasn't arrived yet, but don't expect any nasty surprises... I've bought from the vendor before and had a good experience.

I envy the easy acquisition of the Violet ink. :yikes:

They had several bottles in stock, I think residents of my home town only use blue, or black ink... Actually I think the truth is they probably all use ball point pens, and chew the ends...

That is a fantastic pen! I am a huge fan of the 144. Mine has a BB nib, and is wonderful. We need a writing sample Soot! :)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
