A new old Montblanc 136 with a wonderful flex-springy medium nib which shows line variations from extra fine to broad. This was the first vintage Montblanc pen I have gotten for a long time but the most precise writing qualities reminded me how great those vintage Montblanc nibs are!

 

Currently the pen is filled with Sailor Nioi-Sumire (a lighter lavender tone blue ink from the spring collection).

 

The 136 seems to be a full celluloid postwar model with three blank cap bands, a stepped clip, sinlge tone (???) gold nib and a short, unengraved cap top.

 

Cheers

 

Michael

Congrats Michael! A few photos would be nice. :thumbup:

Today is not a good day.

 

1) I do some work from home before getting ready to head into the office. As I was out of my normal routine I started to clean my teeth before realising I had not eaten breakfast. Therefore go to work hungry.

 

2) When getting to work I realise the heating is not working. I'm therefore cold and hungry.

 

3) To really cap it off, I realise that I've forgotten to bring my MB pouch filled with pens to work. Today I am therefore using a bic biro (blue ink) along with a disposable Papermape mechanical pen. This has really put my pens into perspective and I now truely understand how much I "need" them.

 

Looking forward to going home this evening. Today is not a good day.

Brandon- that is a horrible horrible day.

 

I went to see a patient today and realised I had left my pouch with my Hemingway and Faber pen of the year 2007 in the car.

 

Devastated, I had to ask a nurse to borrow her pen.....

:bawl:

 

I feel your pain (although I had brekky..)

Poe WE B nib with MB blue and Mann WE with MB black. Both B nibs. I'm having to work on someone else's paper and even with reliable nibs and ink, the nasty stuff is causing skipping. :angry:

Had cut down my pens to just MB Christie and MB Cervantes so I decided to add another into the current rotation. I was a choice of three, Poe, Mann and Verne. As my Verne had not been inked for the longest, I decided to ink this with MB blue. I'd forgotten how beautifully this pen wrote.

      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
