How do this look? Mixing the black and coral one?

I love the coral body version, and Montblanc, do NOT copy my design!

Has anyone else noticed that there is a nine-character alphanumeric ID on the upper loop of the clip? Barely noticeable to the naked eye, but quite visible under a magnifying glass..

I had looked in vain for it before under the clip, and noticed it only since the coil of the clip has been tarnishing, I was really surprised!

I know I had these pens inked for too long, but has anyone else noticed that the ink seems to evaporate? Never had this problem with other MBs, except Bohemes. And the piston 'grates' a little. I wonder how these pens are going to stand the test of time.

 

Still think they're beautiful though!

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

I had my ink evaporate in this pen before. It was inked with MB Alfred Hitchcock. The ink capacity is also quite small and runs out of ink quite fast like Heritage 1912

Wow. $670 equates to about £470. I can't believe it will be that price in the UK

Seems Mr Gibby & I will have to get to the boutique & find out!

Shame that pouch isn't part of the collection, is a perfect match

I've seen the matching snake tie clip - nice, but not for me.

I realize this is an older post but had to comment.. I agree re the tie clip... but those cuff links!!

Dear Friends,

 

Here are the additional photos, which also taken with the Agatha & Heritage 1912. Hope they won't kill you B) B)

I realize this is a late reply, but your pics are absolutely gorgeous! In particular, love the Agatha Christie pen! Really complements the Rouge et Noir pens

Just got the 1906 edition made by ebonite. It is matte black with antique feeling and lighter than resin version. I prefer M recently so not yet decide to nib exchange.

 

I'm a late comer here... but if I may ask, how are you liking your Ebonite edition? I have one on order, and can't wait to see it in person.

Have you inked it and if so, how does it write?

I have the Ebonite with an OB nib and am very happy with it. It was special ordered for me by the good folks at La Couronne du Comte.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Sunnerd,

 

It looks a bit odd to me, I only have the Coral in OB, but just to get the feel of mixing both black and red... I would not mind getting the black :lticaptd: or brown!

 

I love my Rouge et Noir by the way, I think it's a great addition to anyone's collection.

 

Cheers,

 

Luis A.

I finally changed the nib to B, and I like it very much. This 18K nib is unique and is my favorite modern MB.

I'm going to throw a question, has anyone disarmed or knows how to remove the nib? I get the feeling that it is threaded, it seems that it has a special turning key from Montblanc as in its older brothers. Any ideas?

If anyone know that would be lovely.

Actually it happened once that my nib to exchange arrived and the technician was out on holiday. I was told that if I am up to it 'for fun' I can have a go at it (they know I'm capable) or wait until the pen is sent to Hamburg.

So I can say that I didn't hesitate :) Let's see if I can help you.

 

The nib and feeder is threaded in a circular 'housing'. You can use the Montblanc pliers pictured above to turn it to the right to remove the mechanism altogether if you want to say 'deep clean' the barrel.

 

But if you want to disassemble the nib, you use the same pliers to PULL instead of TURN to remove only the nib and feeder. They're put together in a PUSH action.

 

NB: to remove the entire mechanism, when loosened it can even be done by hand it is a no issue. However, the pulling out of the nib/feeder is a forceful action that destroys the feeder inevitably, at best it leaves scathe marks from the pliers. So every nib exchange for the 1906 series requires a feeder change. Until I got it correctly, I went through 4 feeders. Glad I was inside the Montblanc Maison :)

Thank you so much for sharing the story, Pravda, I just purchased a 1906 hard rubber edition and I am trying to figure out how to service the piston by myself.

 

I was doing research from the internet and found the disassemble picture as below.

 

You can see that there is a nib&feed housing, it is screwed to the section, thank you for sharing to right-turn to unscrew it :D

 

I am curious to know how to disassembly the section from the barrel, it seems to be a converter in the barrel, I would like to change the converter when the piston is not quite working.

 

Thanks again!

I think when it comes to the nib area, I would first turn to loosen then pull to remove nib/feeder. Because I loosened the housing first, then I can use my fingers to complete turning the threads to remove. But once/if you pull out the nib first, it'll be impossible to do. Good luck with that.

thank you for doing it. I tried to pull the nib, but the feed looks so fragile that I gave up on it ... Then without another feed better leave it as it is ....

From what I understand is that if your intent is to get inside the barrel, you do NOT need to pull the nib/feeder out of the housing. Twisting the entire mechanism's thread will remove the whole thing and you're in. You should only pull the nib out if you are doing nib work strictly

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
