Montblanc 3-42G with KOB nib

[adam11]

Recently I've bought vintage MB 3-42G with pretty rare and unusual KOB (Kugel/Ball tipped Oblique Broad) nib. As I didn't seen this kind of nib in here, I've thought it would be interesting to post some pictures of the pen.

 

You MB people knowthat MB 3-42G is note oversized, but very pleasantly sized pen (especially when capped); piston is excellent after all this years, nib itself semiflexible (definitely nice line variation) and with big bump of iridium. Little to broad for my taste.

 

But lets stop talking

Here are some pictures (the same was uploaded in WTT section, so if you have already seen them, my apologies))

 

Oh, some inks used in writing dip-test bellow: Iroshizuku Ku Jake, Herbin Perle Noire, Styl' Honore Coctail Poudre d'Iris and Bleu d'Soir.

No problem, girls and boys

I'm glad you like it. It was many questions recently regarding Kugle nibs, so I thought it would be useful to post my first impressions about rare Oblique version of one.

Way old topic, but what would you say is the width of the line?
