I just came home with my Coral Version (M Nib) from the local Boutique -- really beautiful and I think I will also buy the ballpoint pen later this month. I was in the Zurich Airport last week, en route to Copenhagen, where I stopped by the Montblanc Boutique. They had two copies of the MB Collectibles book on display and let me have one. I am quite excited by that as well.

I asked our boutique yesterday. Being such a small country Australia, they are expecting it in June at the earliest. Can't blame me for not buying from the local outfit :-)

Pen fever has set in. I'm thinking I need the black one. Maybe the hard rubber one will come home with me.

Does anyone have the measurements to the pen(s)?

 

 

Is the new pen slimmer than the 1912?

 

 

You may wish to see the below comparisons with Agatha / 1912http://www.sampanel.com/Hobby/Writing-Instrument/Rouge-et-noir-Soecial-Edition/i-xvkKX4m/0/XL/DF0_7620a-XL.jpg

Personally, I like the black but will also get the coral FP to pair up in the pouch with different ink.

Do you have the weight of the pen? Does it feel lighter compared to the 1912?

I feel the same way about the black. It seems to suit the metal section better than the coral version, with an understated look with a nice contrast coming from the finial. Only thing(s) I'd wish to see on the black version would be the "eyes" on the snake clip and maybe a 2 tone nib.

The metal section on the coral is not silver in color but rather champagne colored, main reason preferred it over the black. The ring in barrel blends in with body better.

It is a small little fellow! I imagined it be at least like the Heritage 1912 in girth, but it's more like 145 in dimensions albeit taller than the Heritage 1912.

 

Was going to get the black lacquer but jmccarty3 sent me a pic of his coral and that did the trick :)

 

Didn't like the rubber/ebonite version though. It was too faded I felt, not very eye catchy upon first impression. I liked the black but the silver ring at the end of the barrel had me hesitate.

 

I must admit, the regular editions do look nice but that 'faux vintage' look was what interested me the most about the 1906 LE, along with the fact that BHR feels different in the hand than resin.

 

Pen fever has set in. I'm thinking I need the black one. Maybe the hard rubber one will come home with me.

 

If you get it, could you post some pictures? I'm really on the fence about this one...

The 1906 rubber version has got ruby eyes on the snake clip. IMHO the best version of these three.

But that's totally out of my budget. I guess I'll have to make do with either the black or the coral

Phew! I very nearly had a coronary then....no-one told me the symbol for the Mexican Peso is the same as the US Dollar!!

 

This works out at about £500 at current forex.

 

Is there anyone on here who can tell me the price in Rubles? I have to visit Moscow later this month and with the exchange rate it may be worth waiting.....TIA

      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
