The 1912 is currently my favourite MB from my collection. I hope you enjoy yours for years to come.

I'm liking it quite a bit so far! Thank you all for the kind words.

 

For others who have had or used the 1912 - were yours incredibly wet? I don't mind it at all, in fact I prefer it, but it is almost certainly my wettest pen. Makes inks sheen like crazy.

Mine was always a bit on the wetter side, yes. The semi-flex nib contributes to that I assume.

Recent got a 221p. Cap has a single ring without the model number engraved . Not sure if this was the original cap though ....

I got this danish MB 224 not long ago.

A nice unpretentious pen, it´s a well built pen and a joy to use (as are most vintage MBs).
This one has a EF nib which is rather flexible.

They were made between 1941 and 1954.

Having been away from the FPN, and in particular the MB Form for a while, it is really good to return and see that certain tastes haven't changed.

 

Great find farmdogfan. Unless you have done so recently (and I've missed it), I do hope you will share your collection here one day ;)

 

Pavoni.

The shading and saturation of the Quink blue ink in your Danish 224 is eye-pleasing.

The Quink blue brings out the nib's flexibility.

You've acquired and are using a truly fine vintage fountain pen!

Blue hour ink

Had to chose between the William Shakespeare red and the blue hour. Went for the blue hour, hoping that i will get another stab at purchasing the William Shakespeare ink before it gets sold out.

I really like the Blue Hour ink much more than the Shakespeare. That being said, the latter is much more rare and harder to find.. Don't wait too long

Budgetary constraints made me choose one instead of both. However I have the Shakespeare ink booked if it comes to the Indian MB shop. The pen has come but not the ink.

It has been coming next week since August. Am hopeful it will come before the end of the year.

 

The blue hour was a lucky find at Singapore Duty free. It's sold out everywhere else

Well I finally bit for the 1950's late 149 with a couple of silver bands, in Celluloid Nice patina on the Snow Cap

A bit pricy for me

 

It is off to the restorer for service I'll send some pics when I get it back

May using it bring you much happiness.

Just pulled the ebay trigger for my first Montblanc - a 146 Platinum. Really looking forward to how it compares to my other "big" pen , the Pelikan M805.

      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
