I just received my $5 Montefiore pen through a deal as a Smithsonian member. It came with a made in China sticker, but little else in terms of info. So I'm looking for info on this pen, not finding much in a search on this board. It came with a cartridge ("finest German ink")--I think it is Private Reserve, but don't know how to be sure. I would like to get a converter to fit, my universal has a diameter that is too large. Any info out there on Montefiore pens, and what coverters fit them?

Nobody seems to have heard of these pens...Any thoughts on how to go about finding a converter that fits? It seems to need a narrower neck than a "universal" converter.

Well...this is an older thread, but these pens are still around... I just rinsed out a Montefiore pen to try a new ink color (Noodler's "Mandalay Maroon," BTW). I've had this pen for years - paid less than $10 for it, but they still make it - the "Classic Pen" (fountain pen), and it's now $11.95 on giftvalues.com. Mine has a Waterman converter, which has worked. I don't remember if it came with the pen or if it was one I stuck in there and "hey, it works!" It's not a bad pen, especially for the price - I'm not afraid to haul it around with me.

      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
