Excuse me. Excuse me.

I just wanted to remind everyone that it is not the size of the pen that matters, it's how you use it. A Mozart can be very satisfying if used correctly, I've been told.

I use a 149 for daily writing, obviously. But some prefer LeGrands.

Very handsome, classic looking pens!

 

If I understand correctly, these are much more limited editions than let's say the WE pens which are made in relatively large quantities (+/- 10 - 15K...). So, it's understandable that they are more expensive....

 

Given the price, I probably won't be getting one soon....but don't begrudge MB for the price....

 

 

@Sampanel, thanks for your photos......

Wanting more than ONE pen that accomplishes the same task is senseless. Talking about them on the internet instead of simply using them is senseless. We aren't here because of sense. :D

 

Hmm, there is more wisdom in your statement than I can absorb. I sense that if I were not here right now, I might be hot on the scents of pens that cost more cents than common sense would deem approriate.

Hi, here are 1914 photos with 149 and 1912. Hopefully they can give everybody some idea on the size of the pens :)

Great photos.. Actually 'great' doesn't cut it. PERFECT photos and choice of pens to compare to.

 

Thank you so much! :)

 

Regarding the pens, unbelievable..!! The size comparison with the 149 was shocking. And it totally dwarfed the Heritage 1912.

Thank you for the amazing pictures.

Montblanc should reward you for your efforts, especially if it's with the orange one...

Ha...ha, I think they will consider this after seeing your post, SD10521 !!

Other than FP, I love photography. Actually I was so lucky that in Hong Kong that MB boutique is the only shop displaying the 1914. They will be taken away to other country for display after 28th Aug, and it is really my honour to share the 'unofficial' 1914 photo with FP friends in other side of the world.

I'm at least glad to see that they are making some other models in the 149 size. I really hope they start making others like this in the lower price range and maybe in some of them nice fancy colors! A white resin 149 with Platinum trim :P :P :P I'm sure some would consider it blasphemy!

I keep thinking about selling some of my pens but all that happens is I keep acquiring more!

Wow! And I used to think the 149 was huge. :yikes:

Both look gorgeous. If money were no object, I would have a hard time deciding which one to choose. :wub:

Thank you very much for sharing the pics.

 

They are amazing!

The pens are also beautiful. Even the pistonknob has the MontBlanc star!

Good for me it is way beyond my budget.

      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
