This is the last fountain pen I bought this afternoon at the MB store of Brussel, the Heritage R&N Spider Metamorphosis 1906:

The pen is really heavy when we have it in hands, we can't imagine a pen slim as this one so heavy. The pen and the cap weight 62g and without the cap it weighs 42,2g.

So a part of my collection into the 12 pen pouch Montblanc bought last week:

 

41281203050_6102c32f7c_c.jpg 43197933121_a5385690ea_c.jpg

 

I wasn't able to put the Heritage 1914 into it because the pen is too long and it is impossible to close the pouch correctly.

Marvelous! What an eye-pleasing image.

Your superb collection has something for everyone, no? There's a rich variety of design among the various models.

That's an attractive case.

Your Heritage 1914 understandably merits special treatment.

Many warm thanks for sharing this photograph of the case and pens.

Yes a really eclectic collection of types and design. I collect the pens I like and not all the pens of a series.

And for the pleasure a snake vs spider:

 

Who will win according to you? :)

 

~ Cyrille:

 

What images!

Thank you for the excellent photographs.

You present both pens in very good light.

In a battle between a snake and a spider I'd hope that a friendly eagle might carry me away from the conflict, but not to a scorpion's nest!

Hey Cyrille..!! Amazing shots! Congratulations! What nib you picking this time?

 

For the moment it is still the M and I will think if I want to keep the medium nib that is really flex of the Heritage collection or maybe a F nib I don't have yet in my collection.

I have one of these, but Ive never used it as I'm slightly unsure of it's usefulness - it's certainly too big for a pen. You couldnt put several pens in it as they'd rattle and scratch, so I assume it's only use is as a pencil case, as you state - but that's odd in that MB dont make pencils in the traditional sense (wooden type). In fact, I dont think there's anything MB make that I'd want rattling around in side the case.

 

All that said, it's lovely and soft and really well made.

I use it to store my Heritage 1914 in generally when I want it on my desk and not my collector box as the pen is so giant to go in other pen pouches generally :)

Maybe the new one with 12 cases is little bit smaller in height. In width the 1914 fits without any issue but for the height the case is little bit too small and prevents to close it correctly.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
