Wow Opooh, that is something! I own six 149s and would really like to own a 75th Limited Edition, but your collection is beyond the best of the dreams. Congratulations!

 

P.S. And I guess you would not miss the 90th anniversary in rose gold...

I see 20 pens in your pic. Must have more details!! Am I missing some nibs? Wish I knew how to make the drooling smiley.

 

I have a long way to go!

I've owned a number of MB 149s over the years but never more than two at a time. Your collection is amazing. I am envious.

BBB is a currently available nib? I have not seen it in any offer.

I don't know. I assumed that if O3B was available, then BBB was too. Maybe I am wrong.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

      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..

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
