A platinum facets le grand with an EF nib. It's my most recent, but it's quickly become one of my very favorite pens. Top 3!

Nice pen, how about some photos?

Just picked up what my MB rep says is a late 1980's Montblanc 144 Bordeaux fountain pen. It has a monotone 14k gold EF nib. It is loaded with an irish green cartridge. For an EF nib it is a very pleasant and smooth writer. I'm thinking about purchasing the nib/grip section of the pen in broad in case I want to switch it up a little bit without losing my EF. OVERALL extremely happy with the purchase considering it is in near Mint condition! Montblanc never fails me!

Opooh, can you tell us how much you paid for the beautiful 129 and 30? I had a chance to buy a 129 couple years ago at LA pen show but I blew it. It was in excellent condition and seller wanted $5000 USD for it. I am guessing 129 easily go for $7500 USD now. I am beginning to think there are more than handful of 129 in existence. A grail pen for me for sure, especially in OBB nib.

      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
