Show Us Your Pearl Stars


Pravda

Recommended Posts

I am a sucker for the Montblanc stars, particularly those made of pearls and not the regular resin.

 

Here are a few from the inked fountain pens that I am using that happen to be adorned by them.

Any chance some of you may be inclined to show off their pearl stars?

They are lovely. :wub: Sadly I don't own any Montblanc pens with a pearl snowcap. -_-

I like your ink. :) Which one is it?

Thank you so much!

It's the first ink I ever purchased from a Montblanc boutique.

Alfred Hitchcock.

What happened was that in my initial boutique visit some years ago, I didn't bring enough cash with me to purchase ink, so the staff discreetly gave me two bottles of outdated blue ink.

About one month later I returned, wanting to expand my ink selection beyond blue.

As I correct student research manuscripts, I asked for red.

The staff offered the only red ink they had in stock that day, which was Alfred Hitchcock.

It's been a reliable and delightful ink, working well in both EF nibs and more broad nibs, such as the Red Gold 149 OBBB above.

I hadn't used it for over one year, therefore thought that it was time to let it show its color.

I'm so pleased that you like it!

I know you won't believe this, but after I typed and posted it I thought to myself, I bet it's Hitchcock. I always have that reaction to Hitchcock ink when I see it. :wub: I have one Montblanc inked with it, plus one inked with Louis Vuitton Rouge Libertin to compare them together, yet I seem to write with the LVRL much more. :wacko: I don't want to run out of Hitchcock..... :(

Man I love the MOP star on the 1914. Too bad the pen is a bit unwieldy for me to use. Maybe a previously loved one will find a home with me one day.

 

I currently only have 3 MOP stsrs. I'll see about getting some old photos up later today as none are currently inked.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

I only hate two pens with Pearl stars at the moment and here they are:

Well I like them. ;) Don't you just love typos that completely change the meaning of a post?

You're so right — Hitchcock is a very distinctive ink.

Something which stands out about Hitchcock is its versatility in different nib sizes.

I've used it in EEF, EF, M and OBBB nibs. In each case it was well behaved, smoothly writing on various paper grades.

I've been pleased this month to find that it shades well in the OBBB, yet is neither too wet nor too dry.

Of the special or limited edition Montblanc inks I've used, it's certainly one of the top performers.

I'm very glad that you like it, too, as you're so experienced with quality inks.

Slightly off topic, but here's a pic of a Solid Gold Star.

 

As far as I'm aware, there is only one MB pen with this feature, so I'm not going to start a thread concerning it.

I'm so happy I started this thread, as it gifted me with wonderful pictures from you guys! What wonderful pieces these all are.

 

Nick_Green: Which pen is this one? I have one guess in mind but I am not sure :)

 

Axis: Such wonderful truly rare pens! Thanks for sharing. Actually, you inspired me to ink an also somewhat rare pen to take to work this morning. Just hope I don't drop 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..
    • 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
