It has been a long time coming, and lots of debate. I was never overly impressed with the pictures of this pen, they were not bad, but the pen never really struck me as beautiful. Since my mother really did name me after the man, since I am a fan of his work, and since I am a big Montblanc fan, it was just one of those pens I felt a duty to acquire.

 

Now that I have actually held it in my hands it is a completely different story, the pen is indeed beautiful. The depth of the celluloid is just stunning, much like that of my Omas Royale Blue Paragon. The detail in the clip ring is fantastic, and yes, it writes like a dream which I expected seeing as how it is obviously based on the 146. This pen has single handedly managed to make me take a second look at all the Montblanc LE pens and I can see myself acquiring several more in the hopes that their pictures did not do them justice either.

Even the ring next to the piston knob is beautiful:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Very beautiful indeed. The marbling on the body and the detail on the ring near the clip ring is particularly wonderful.

That is an incredibly beautiful pen!! The raven on the nib and the other touches are incredible.

 

Edit: BTW - Did the book come with it? I notice it matches the pen perfectly in color.

Nope, I have had the book for years, but yes it does match fairly well which is why I decided to include it in the picture.

Now THAT is a beautiful pen. I love the blue marbling, the "Nevermore" speaker on the nib and the detail. It is simply a stunner.

Spring and love arrived on a bird's sweet song. "How does that little box sound like birds and laughter?" I asked the gypsy violinist. He leaned back, pointing to his violin. "Look inside, you'll see the birdies sing to me" soft laughter in his voice. "I hear them, I can almost see them!", I shouted as his bow danced on the strings. "Ah yes" he said, "your heart is a violin." Shony Alex Braun

 

As it began for Shony, it began for me. My heart -- My violin

      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
