Montblanc Limited Edition Online List

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

 

I have been an anonymous visitor of this site for years, but it finally occurred to me to create an account so I could share some information back that some of you might find useful.

 

I have been accumulating data on Montblanc limited edition pens including sample pictures, edition sizes, notes, material and year of issue. I have been able to obtain some of this information directly from the site. The notes I have taken are found here:

 

http://www.trovestar.com/pens/montblanc/limited/index.php?Collection=15

 

I would welcome any corrections and/or new data. Just post it in a reply to this message or you can log on through google and change the entries yourself. I am especially interested in pics and data on the very limited editions of certain pens. I also welcome correct model numbers.

 

Currently the database is set up to have just one pic per pen, but it is fairly easy for me to convert it to a gallery if you folks think that multiple pics is desirable.

 

Thanks

 

George

This one opens a couple of questions.

 

1) The forums seem to indicate that the incorrect version is the "son" version where the MB site indicates the "father" version is incorrect. My gut is that the website is correct due to the fact the the writer had a very famous father, a Napoleonic General, and I do not know that any of the writer's sons were particularly famous. Could someone opine on this?

 

2) Anyone know how many of each type exist. My understanding is that there are a total of 16,000 Ballpoints, 20,000 fountain pens and 9,000 pencils. How do each break down in father vs son?

 

Dumas had son and father versions... Didn't see that categorized...

The Dumas the son signature was an error and recalled almost immediately. It is unknown how many actually made it into the wild. The two editions are the same except for the signature on the cap. Since they had the same name it is only the handwriting that identifies the two.

The Alexandre Dumas, father, is generally regarded as the more famous due to his having written The Three Musketeers, The Man in the Iron Mask, and The Count of Monte Cristo.

The cap also has the letter N after the edition number to identify it as a corrected cap.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

I just added it. I found two 3000 edition items: Rollerball and Fountain Pen.

 

Anyone know if both Kennedy and Warhol are 2015? Was one of them 2014?

 

I may have missed it, but I cannot see a reference to the "Alfred Hitchcock"?

      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
