superb review! Thanks!

That's a great looking pen.

I think this is the same celluloid here:

Thanks for all the photos - I've always wanted a better look at one of these.

[Mr Ink]

Lovely pen and a great review.

 

I'd like to know the name of the ink that you used to write this review, please.

[olivier78860]

Thanks !

The ink was Waterman Florida Blue. It looks a bit darker because of the rich ink flow of the pen.

Thank you, Olivier. You confirmed my initial guess.

[ArchiMark]

That's one nice pointy blue pen, Olivier...merci beaucoup for sharing!

Thank you for this marvelous review! I'm one who haunts the website of Mora Stylos frequently and yearns to own one of these beautiful pen someday. I must say your review has sharpened desire for one of these pens. Congratulations on your pen(s) and may you use and enjoy them in good health for many years!

[olivier78860]

Thanks ! I must say it has been a real problem to choose a model. The "Lemon Peps" was incredibly beautiful, the "Blanc perlé" as well. And the blue marbled celluloid "Art Deco", the "Lie de vin" or "Bronze doré" Dorics... All this would be so much easier with infinite money.

I'm jealous !!!

 

Nice review Oliver, thanks.

Is the nib similar in size to the MB149, or is it close to the MB146 nib?

Size comparison with the MB149:

Size comparison with the MB149:

 

Thank you! I've seen photos of these pens before but always thought they were smaller.

[olivier78860]

Actually there is a smaller model, called the "Rikiki" (which is "childish" for tiny), but it's still quite large, maybe closer to the 146 (I haven't seen those in real). There's one bigger as well, called the "Giant" but the Classic is big enough already.

 

Taking these pictures reminded me why I was rarely using the 149 (and the M1000 also) anymore : thanks to their position on the Oldwin, there will never be dead skin to clean off the threads after a long writing session.

[raging.dragon]

I looked up the dimensions on the Mora Stylos website. The Giant is huge. I'd probably like it!

Fantastic pen and a nice review too - thank you. I really like the subtlety of this material.
