Is that the 18K white gold and diamonds, limited to 380? :drool:

IIRC, it is the only pen with a 'sort of hooded nib' design. It is a nice effect since it is not entirely 'hooded'.

 

That's the one, a truly awesome pen in my opinion.

and with a stratospheric price tag to match. :D Truly limited at 380, even PoA pens number 888.

What nib did you get?

 

OTOH, I have reservations about the quantity of diamonds.

A solid and unique, bling pen. I prefer it to the skeleton.

Mine has a medium nib.

 

The diamonds actually don't really stand out when you see the pen in real life.

That is better although I doubt I will ever get to hold it. :(

Every time I use this pen I am reminded of how it is possibly the best pen ever made! This one has an OB nib with quite a lot of variation in line and wonderful ink flow. It also has the longer ink window. Just a privilege to own it :)

That's a magnificent nib indeed!

 

Today I hope to have the chance to ink up my new Agatha Christie that arrived this week.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

~ The yellow gold Classique EF nib has been in steady use this week.



It records vocabulary from century old books about East Africa, both Swahili terms and occasional archaic English.



Inked in Montblanc Homer Greek Blue, it's a reliable tool which suits my needs.



I've been using Greek Blue so much that another bottle was ordered today from the Montblanc China Web Store.



There's so much quiet satisfaction in writing for hours with a fountain pen which performs well.

~ Fairly heavy use of the 90th Anniversary 149 BB inked in Montblanc Swan Illusion.



Also, similar heavy use of the Monotone Yellow Gold 149 Bespoke Small Signature inked in Montblanc Heritage Web Grey.



They were used to record a steady stream of notes during two student oral examinations.



Both pens performed at optimal levels.

As its Christmas I am using my three favourite pens. The Wilde is my all time favourite design and shaped barrel but the nib is so plain; I need to find a BB or similar to add some life to it :-)

      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
