HELP! I just came into possession of a Montblanc 100 anniversary fountain pen (like the one pictured below) and I cannot get the cap to stay posted. It keeps popping off at the slightest touch, as if it's spring-loaded or pressure sensitive. Is there a trick to posting this pen that I'm not aware of? Normally I wouldn't mind, but it's such a short pen that posting is necessary for me to write with it.

 

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I own one myself and is like yours. I think it is made like to be used unposted. Just a must.

 

By the way it works nice unposted.

Post it with extreme care, if you must.

The cap is fragile and would cost a small fortune to repair or replace.

 

 

On a hot July day in 2009 the nice people at the Chicago M B Boutique pleaded with me never to post the cap on the historical pen when they saw me try.

 

Last September, I cracked the cap of a heritage 1912 trying to post it. Montblanc service rushed to my aid. They really were very chivalrous. Fortunately they still had spare parts. I don't know if the same can be said about your pen which was issued in 2006.

      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
