Got my MB 136 from 1949 with an F nib. Here's a written review. Enjoy.

 

P.S: I know my handwriting needs improvements, lol.

With all of the recent talk here about 138's, and 139's, it's nice to see a lower-priced 13X series pen (at least, I'm guessing it's cheaper than a 138 or 139). Your 136 looks great!

Even though the vintage nibs are very flexy, starting with an F can still be a bit too fine for me. What do you have in your modern MBs? M or F?

Hello, thank you for all the positive comments.

 

It is a bit scratchy but i think that's normal since it's between an EF and F nib.

 

The reason why i chose a MB 136 is because i heard through the grapevines that MB 136 has the most flexible nibs in the 13x series. :)

 

 

tenney: I have a MB 149 in F nib and a MB Mark Twain in B nib.

Thanks. I'd appreciate your thoughts comparing the vintage F (EF-F) vs the modern nibs. And whether you think that the grapevine was correct (having no 13X pens myself).

tenney: My MB 149 14C F nib from 1979 is not that flexible, it's really night and day when you write with the MB 136 F nib.

 

It is very flexible and there is no railroading either. If you get a chance to buy one, please do. They are just that awesome!!

I have a 3-44 and a 234 1/2 (steel nib, now with a cracked barrel hopefully being welded) and think that they are both fantastic -- very very flexible and just great. I can dream about a 13X, though.

      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
