Never Bored To Look At My Dumas


fpupulin

Recommended Posts

No doubts, one of the best looking pens I know (and happily own…). The mixed colours of the resin, the fine filigree of the golden laths, the almost black cap and cone, the sober and yet beautifully engraved nib: anything in this pen is almost perfect to my eyes. She looks elegantly chic on my wood desk and she probably the most eye-catching of my small collection. So I thought to share mi enthusiastic views it with you, this time with some grapes.

Either the pen(albeit absolutely beautiful) is tiny or those delicious looking grapes are humongous! :blink:

I love the marble effect WE pens: Dumas, Poe and Fitzgerald (and to a lesser extent the Wilde).

 

I find myself constantly rotating them in my hand so as to see the different shares and the way the light reflects.

Thank you for the great pic of a great pen.

 

Excellent clarity and lighting. Creates a very nice mood.

 

I love the combination of the 149 nib and the strong stout body of this pen.

 

A great writing experience.

Great pic! Love my Dumas too, mine has Juniors sig on it. Now if I can just keep my son in law from swiping mine I'll be ok!

Dear all, thank you for your kind comments.

 

Titanic9990: the pen has indeed quite a broad girth (the size of a 139, a Hemingway or a Year of the Golden Dragon), the largest among Montblancs I think. And yes, the grapes are real...

 

Chris: not plums, but delicious grapes from Peru!!!!

 

BrandonA: I thought about a Poe several times; It looks beautiful.

 

Inked: IMO Dumas' nib is perhaps the best designed nib Montbalnc ever made. I like very much the nib of the Hemingway, because it is a simple, plain nib (in MB standards...), and the nib of the Dumas because it is so simply designed...

 

torstar: I have the father's signature, a memory of my lectures of the Three Musketeers...

 

pakmanpony: a Dumas can be irresistible (my wife told me it looks like a jewel, a serious compliment): defend it!

 

bernardo: it was a M nib, transformed into a very slightly oblique cursive by Mike Matsuyama before I bought it. A great work, and a nib that I like it very much. The pen is always filled with Irish Green and I use it for anything at home, from calligraphy to the grocery list.

Gorgeous picture and the pen, of course.

I agree that Dumas nib is one of the, if not THE, most exquisitely designed nib of all Montblanc pens. In fact a close-up picture of this nib (which I borrowed shamelessly off of internet) has been my lock-screen wallpaper for my i-devices for years.

Regards,

Halid

fpupulin, after reading about your postings about Dumas, I was so tempted that I had to get one for myself.

Beautiful photography and it really brings out the beauty in the Dumas nib.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
