What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase?

fpn_1316457403__.jpgFinally I got the Dumas which has the most beautiful nib I think. The M nib writes smoothly as Dupont but WARMLY. This is a special experience I never had. Besides, the dark brown with gold trim is elegant and tasteful.

 

Congratulations! MB Dumas never cease to amazes me.

A threesome. The three pens are all pre-owned and used. Very happy with the purchase as two of my grail pens are there. The red pouch from Notes & Diaries series are new nonetheless.

 

All 3 pens look well together :) congratulations again and enjoy them well!

Today I bought the WE Collodi and two bottles of ink. Collodi (brown) and Ink of friendship.

 

I am very pleased with it. Out of the box the Collodi writes very smooth.

My preferred supplier (no affiliation just a very happy customer):

Just received these 2. Starwalker RB resin version that I found on the local Kijiji, and a nm-m 31 with gold nib from Roberto Possaro.

Surely one of my preferred models, perhaps one of the best MB ever made. I do not own one, but it like it very, very much. I also think that M nibs in the 9 series are simply perfect for daily writing and for anything else. Congratulations!

The Dupont is indeed a wonderful pen. I have one with the son's signature, albeit stubbed by Mike Mayusama and then tuned again by John Mottishaw for increased flow.

 

As for the MB xx9 oversized nibs ... I have then in M, in 1.3mm stub, in 0.9mm stub, in EF ... and have really loved dip testing the B ... and and .... they're all wonderful writers!!!

In Rotation: MB 146 (EF), Noodler's Ahab bumblebee, Edison Pearl (F), Sailor ProGear (N-MF)

In storage: MB 149 (18k EF), TWSBI 540 (B), ST Dupont Olympio XL (EF), MB Dumas (B stub), Waterman Preface (ST), Edison Pearl (0.5mm CI), Noodler's Ahab clear, Pilot VP (M), Danitrio Densho (F), Aurora Optima (F), Lamy 2000 (F), Visconti Homo Sapiens (stub)

An early 132 with an M nib - 4th in from left in yellow tray and finally got around to photographing the 142 grey celluloid with the 146. Have had the 142 for about 6 weeks or so - lovely smooth EF.

I am in awe- that is a wonderful collection.

Especially the grey celluloid- stunning :notworthy1: :notworthy1:

It isn't real without lots of pictures... :P

 

A major purchase of a major MB iconic pen - really keen to know how you get on with it 'in the celluloid flesh'.

Congratulatios Jeremy. Can't wait to hear your views on it. I got mine from Max. Satisfying isn't it, knowing that you've purchased such an important, iconic pen from such a reliable source. The consistency in quality of Max's pens make it well worth a slight premium.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
