Ahhh... My local boutique told me a few weeks ago that this year's POA would be Da Vinci's patron.

Yes - the "Duke of Milan" stumped a few until the da Vinci connection was made apparent.

Is this a MOP star on the 4810? It might make up for what initially appears like a pretty bland design. I will admit that in real life they often look a lot better and photos can be deceiving. Still, the Joseph will be hard act to follow.

As long as they continue to put steps on them, my budget is safe. :bunny01:

To me it reminds me of a mix between the Twain and Mann WE pens: the silver coloured bits of the Twain and the black/platinum coloured/decorated barrel.

 

I often find the POA pens a little over the top in terms of decoration. I like this one.

Montblanc, if anyone of your people there is reading this, please, please, PHULLEEAAASE make us another nice big-nibbed 149-size POA/WE again?!? Please? The 146-size pens abound, it is high time for another 149-scaled masterpiece.

PLEASE! :gaah:

I entirely agree. The step-down signals to me that the pen is not intended for use, and at that point I ask, why bother.

I like it too, any idea what the Roman letters stand for? It looks like LVII...

 

My guess is that you see the beginning of "Ludovico", except that "u" is set in upper case as a "v". This would follow the Renaissance practice, which in turn copied the classical Roman.

Mine too. :bunny01: I also don't buy pens with metal grips because I find them too slippery in my fingers.

I didn't notice the metal section. The MB Einstein is the only pen I own with a metal section, I tend to agree with you although in short bursts if you pay attention to how you are holding the pen it is good to write with - a pen should be effortless though.

Could you tell me on which web site the pictures are? :clap1:

Ah - the pattern on that cap looked familiar and I think it might be adapted from the top battlement of the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence...which is weird as Ludovic Sforza was apparently the Duke of Milan.

      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
