Changed my rotation completely today.

 

Took out my Christie and Cervantes. My Verne has kept its place.

 

I decided to ink my Fitzgerald with Mystery Black Ink. I bought this pen in its year of release and its the MB fountain pen I've owned the longest. Today however is the first time it has been inked. I will be taking the complete set with my to my parents at the weekend when I travel to be with them over the Xmas holiday.

 

The pen is a beauty to write with. A complete difference to Verne which is heavy. This pen is light but and requires no effort to write with it. Silky move flow on my Moleskine paper.

 

These are the only two pens I currently have inked. In the new year I want to buy some MB red ink. Once I have this I intend to ink my Woolf and Kakfa.

My Collection: Montblanc Writers Edition: Hemingway, Christie, Wilde, Voltaire, Dumas, Dostoevsky, Poe, Proust, Schiller, Dickens, Fitzgerald (set), Verne, Kafka, Cervantes, Woolf, Faulkner, Shaw, Mann, Twain, Collodi, Swift, Balzac, Defoe, Tolstoy, Shakespeare, Saint-Exupery, Homer & Kipling. Montblanc Einstein (3,000) FP. Montblanc Heritage 1912 Resin FP. Montblanc Starwalker Resin: FP/BP/MP. Montblanc Traveller FP.

Ack! How can you stand to own these lovelies and not use them?! :yikes:

 

Rinsing the Poe and Mann. Can't make up my mind if I want the Shaw B nib next or back to the Carnegie OB. :hmm1: Haven't pulled out the Fitz in awhile, but I'm on a heavy metal kick at the moment.

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

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

That is a great pen! Almost like a 138 with Sterling overlay :cloud9:

Thanks Michael. It is a great pen. I have discovered this week that I haven't been using my pens as often as I used to. So, I've decided to use a pen every day.

Very early this morning, i was using my rough little 134 to do some journal writing. Great little pen, especially after I switched over to using Pel Brilliant Black ink in it.

"Here was a man who had said, with his wan smile, that once he realized that he would never be a protagonist, he decided to become, instead, an intelligent spectator, for there was no point in writing without serious motivation." - Casaubon referring to Belbo, Foucault's Pendulum.

I am a complete newbie to Mont Blanc pens, but have wanted one for years.

 

For a wedding present, my wonderful new wife bought me the Frederic Chopin Edition Meisterstuck, and I am over the moon.

 

The M nib may be a little wide for my preference, but I will persevere for a while.

 

I have no idea what these 146, 149 numbers are people are talking about, so could do with a little help in that area.......?

 

I also got bought a bottle of Mont Blanc Blue/Black ink, which seems quite nice, although I'm keen to try out some different ones after Christmas.

 

Is there anything else I should know to get me started?

      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
