A quick test of writing with it and the Unicef ink. Sorry written in French:

That is one beautiful pen! Doing a nib swap for anything interesting or staying safe?

I have my different fountain pens in M and they are fine for my writing. I'm not expert in calligraphy

[Ghost Plane]

The perfect size for you is the perfect size for YOU. M lovers are special, too.

 

Sneak over to the OBBB thread and check out recent posts on B nibs. No calligraphy required.

 

You've got one beautiful pen there.

Wonderful pen, and great photos thanks

 

Like you I like the UNICEF ink, although I am currently running a cartridge through my MB 147 (with a B nib) rather than ink from a bottle.

Lovely pen and quite tempting. Can you comment on how the barrel feels against your hand when writing. I am curious if thr uneven surface due to the metal skeleton is noticeable or irksome at all.

Speechless.... Congratulations!

Truly gorgeous pen, and very happy to see that it is actually getting used :-)

Remarkable pen. Thank you for sharing and including so many exquisite photos. It's a beautifully designed skeleton. May it provide you with years of fond memories and writing enjoyment.

Hello Zaddick,

 

The takeover of the pen is very well and even I find it better than my standard 149, it seems my hand gets tired less when writing with the skeleton than with my 149. Until now the skeleton inscriptions don't bother me when I'm writing. I haven't yet write a lot with it but my first impression is very well.

I suspect it's the weight differential. I know I swap between my 149s and my heavier Visconti Ripples because my hand finds the heavier pens more restful for extended writing marathons. Heavier pens glide under their own weight leading to a more relaxed hand.

Thank for the information. It is hard to get a feel for it in the boutique when distracted by "new toy" excitement of the pen.

Agreed!! Use the pen lots and let us know
