[Pic Heavy] Restoring A Heavily Banged-Up Montblanc!

Recommended Posts

As you guys likely already know, I am currently running a promotion where purchasing a discounted set of the 3-Step Ultimate Pen Polish gains you entry to win a brand new MontBlanc LeGrand Fountain pen!

 

I thought I would give the following a bit of recognition as it has really made my month seeing such a big change in a pen. There have been a good amount of members talking about how the polish system has revitalized their pens... but this set of pictures really puts it into perspective! He has allowed me to talk about his particular pen :-)

A lot of you probably saw the post "SomeAsianJoe" made about a gold/Bordeaux Douo he had found that was in pretty terrible shape-- lots of oxidation and discoloring on the gold cap, and a heck of a lot of scratches and "matte-ing" on the Bordeaux body.

He grabbed a 3-step kit and used it on the pen. As you know, in short, "Step #0" removes scratches, while "Steps 1 & 2" increase shine and depth, and also remove oxidation and add a layer of protection.

He used all three steps on the Bordeaux portions and Steps 1 & 2 on the gold portions.

He shot me a super excited PM-- I asked for some pictures and I've attached them. The first two are "before"... Last one is "after." They speak for themselves!

You can especially see the difference on the gold portions! The darker area towards the rings on the cap is just a reflection-- the actual cap looks like a fresh bar of gold!

If you'd like to grab a kit and also enter in the contest, just head over to

I will agree that this stuff is amazing. It made a nice antique desk pen of mine looking gorgeous! I had no idea.

So, what's your point?

(Mine is a flexible F.)

      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
