When I was first given a preview look at the pen mid November, honestly I thought it was ugly. I liked the clip, section, nib, filler knob, and the HUGE star. But the color stripes killed it. Then I saw it again, and it started to appeal. Then I saw it again in the store display, its unique, its different. It makes me smile every time I see it.

 

The colors just say, happy. For me being able to use a pen that can just bring a little light is worth it.

 

edit: I was also given a vinyl record of Abby Road.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Thank you so much for the GREAT pen and nib images.

Your images are the kind which we love seeing in the “Enjoying Montblanc Pens...” thread.

Vivid, exciting and fun!

I've been partial to the Beatles pens from the outset, so it does my heart good to see your images and comments.

Thank you for offering not one but several comparison shots.

From your images I see that it's not so small of a pen, after all.

I hope that you'll enjoy it for a long time to come.

With Happiness,

Tom K.

It is a fairly large pen, its got some weight to it but it's balanced well in hand. Though, I have only jotted down a few notes rather than pages at the moment.

I just returned to your post to re-admire the delightful comparison photos of your Beatles fountain pen.

What a surprise to read that they presented you with a vinyl record of ‘Abbey Road’!

Your experience and the pen are all positive.

May you enjoy writing with it in 2018 and beyond.

The shape of this pen I like quite a lot, it's just the colored stripes on the body, the shape of the clip and the nib that just don't feel right for me, although it is a lovely pen, congratulations on your adquisition, what I like the most of it its the huge snow cap.

 

Cheers,

I can fully understand that, it's different. The term Jerry uses is "ugly beautiful" when you know what each piece is and why it makes a little more sense.

 

The colors are their suits on Sgt. Pepper.

The clip is their mustaches.

The cone is the knob on the equipment at the Abby road recording studio.

The Apple on the nib... I can't remember that one right now.

The large top is suppose to represent a microphone ( the 1969 and 88 have mesh tops)

 

 

But it is definitely different, but like I said before part of why I decided to get it is because it makes me smile.

GP and Tom k, thanks now I remember hearing that. But always good to know.

 

Was able to pick up a bottle of the Beatles ink last night, as it was finally available in the us.

      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
