It has been a long time coming, and lots of debate. I was never overly impressed with the pictures of this pen, they were not bad, but the pen never really struck me as beautiful. Since my mother really did name me after the man, since I am a fan of his work, and since I am a big Montblanc fan, it was just one of those pens I felt a duty to acquire.

Now that I have actually held it in my hands it is a completely different story, the pen is indeed beautiful. The depth of the celluloid is just stunning, much like that of my Omas Royale Blue Paragon. The detail in the clip ring is fantastic, and yes, it writes like a dream which I expected seeing as how it is obviously based on the 146. This pen has single handedly managed to make me take a second look at all the Montblanc LE pens and I can see myself acquiring several more in the hopes that their pictures did not do them justice either.

The nib with engraved Raven:


Even the ring next to the piston knob is beautiful:

Oh my gosh - that is the most beautiful thing I have seen in a long time!!!!!!!! Stunning!

Congrats!

A true , subtle classic from the WS - sadly overlooked.

sweet pen I like it lot

Very beautiful indeed. The marbling on the body and the detail on the ring near the clip ring is particularly wonderful.

That is an incredibly beautiful pen!! The raven on the nib and the other touches are incredible.

Edit: BTW - Did the book come with it? I notice it matches the pen perfectly in color.

Very beautiful pen indeed, and nice photo setup. I'm a bit curious and I'll ask about the price of this collectable. So, come on and tell us how much...

Well from what I have seen "if" you can find them.. they are $800 plus.

I have been looking...haven't been able to get one....

I am SOOOO jealous!

Congrats, tho.

Now THAT is a beautiful pen. I love the blue marbling, the "Nevermore" speaker on the nib and the detail. It is simply a stunner.
