Hi everyone, I'm new here :sm_cat:

I have a Montblanc Meisterstuck 146 in burgundy resin, which my husband gave me 14 years ago so it's very dear to me! It's the first fountain pen I got since childhood many years ago when I had a Parker - can't remember which one, but it was brushed steel and I loved it to bits.

 

I wandered on to this site when I googled what to do about my Montblanc which I discovered had serious cracks in the body and lid - not my fault. Anyway, that's all resolved now - I won't go into the whole story about that here!

 

I live in Devon, England. I was astonished to discover how many people are passionate about fountain pens. I'll check in here from time to time as I've got a lot to learn. I'm happy to share my limited knowledge with people, or just hang out and have a laugh.

 

Cheers everyone.

Allie

Hi Allie, welcome to FPN. You'll have plenty of fun here!

 

I'm a Janner myself, though I live on the other side of the world right now. Miss the Westcountry enormously.

Hi Empty. Devon is certainly special. I've only lived here for 3 years but I really like it.

First time in my life I hear of cracks in a Montblanc How is it so ?

 

Hi penrivers. To answer your question, I don't know how it happened. All I know is, I picked up the pen one day, having not used it for a while, and discovered cracks in the barrel and the lid. The cracks went along the pen, not around, if you see what I mean. I hadn't dropped it or anything. But I did some research online and discovered other people have had a similar experience... Anyway, it's all fixed now. I sent it to the MB service centre in Hamburg and got it back within 3 weeks. I did have to pay a small fee, but I thought it was worth it as the pen is as good as new now.

Just thinking it might be fun to go to this site and find your old, cherished Parker fountain pen.

      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
