I had not bought any MB pens in a while, focusing more on Japanese pens or custom pens. However today I picked up 2 pens based on the 146 shape, both in silver.

 

Photos to follow once the pens arrive - one from across the city and the other across the Atlantic.

 

I am kinda surprised I did not buy another 149. Well, the day is still young!

1950's 256 with a factory BB.

No cracks in the cap!

Fat pen, holds a bath-tub full of ink.

Nib is smooth as butter. Ski-slope feed gives a generous, wet line.

Think it's a keeper.

Enjoy.

Thanks, Zaddick.

 

The smoothest nib I've had. Using it for everything, at the moment.

Looking forward to your photos. Always a treat.

 

Enjoy

Well, I did end up putting an offer in on a 149 on FleaBay Sunday afternoon, but did not get it for my price. Oh, well... lots more 149s in the sea...

 

Here is one of the two pens I did buy...

Good for you on snagging an OB nib! I think this is one of their best, I love the cylindrical bulge of the body. Great pictures!

Great pen. Congratulations! I refill my ink carts with different color inks and really enjoy my 147. I have the black one with gold trim and it is not only one of my favorites, it was the first FP model that started me down the FP rabbit hole. Where did you find a red one?

Thank you...it was a steal! Australian eBay. Had been on there for about a month for $500 (Australian)with no takers. I then got an email from eBay telling me the price had dropped to $400 (Australian) including P&P Buy it now...so I did :).

I'm really debating getting a 4810 Gaius maecenas... It's been one of my favorites...

Ditto, especially while it's still possible to get this from some authorised dealers/boutiques. Although the new PoA Borghese seems to be made of actual granite, whereas I think Gaius is some sort of laquer made to look like marble.

      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
