I've had my149 with gold trim for a couple of weeks now and write with it everyday.

So far it's a thing of pure joy. For writing, fondling and just to look at.

Happy days!

14 with a glorious 18k fine nib, inked with Diamine Graphite. Beautiful.

Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

A 14 with Diamine Graphite sounds terrific.

That ink is a particular favorite of mine.

One of the finest pens MB ever made in terms of durability, design, consistency of performance, and value for money!

Montblanc 149, M nib from the late 80s, filled with the very last drops of Montblanc Leonardo "red chalk" ink that I have.

Montblanc 149, O3B, the 90 year anniversary edition, filled with Pilot Iroshizuku Ama-iro. Almost a big, bright paintbrush...

Colours are sadly not very accurate in this iPhone snap with mixed lighting.

I've been using this pair for the last week. (And absolutely loving it! :) ) It's by far the best writer I have, regardless of price!

In actual fact, it's the only pen that I would truly recommend! (Due to it's perfect combination of weight, balance and feel.)

      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
