Montblanc Classique MB 144

[Tom Kellie]

Thank you Tom K and da vinci

 

My first Montblanc was a 144 I bought at the Navy Exchange in San Diego in 1992.

 

Didn't know much about fountain pens back then, certainly nothing about different nib sizes.

 

I was so glad to finally get my grail pen that I bought what the NEX had, and never thought about the nib size. I think it was a fine or a medium.

 

Wish I hadn't sold it after buying my 149 eight years ago. C'est la vie.

Somehow I missed your reply last August.

Thank you for explaining the circumstances of your original Montblanc acquisition.

Starting with an F or an M 144 sounds like an excellent beginning.

Yours truly has affection for smaller pens, despite my height and large hands.

That's why da vinci's 144/145 collection is such a delight to see.

If you're satisfied with your 149, that's what matters most.

Nonetheless it's nice to know that you had years of writing pleasure with a 144.

I've occasionally thought of adding a 144 with a BB nib to my stable, as I'd use one.

Tom K.
