Thank you both very much. Every so often a guy has to buy something nearly as old as he is :D

Beautiful pen BillH. May you enjoy writing with it for many years to come. The 234 1/2 is one my favorite Montblanc pens.

I'm another fan of the 234 1/2 so add my congratulations to the list. What nib is on this one?

 

 

OB... :P

Im glad to see the website is working again now :-)

 

Today I received a 225 in Broad which I picked up for a fifth of the price of a similar aged 149. Its a fantastic little pen and the broad nib is soft and springy. A great alternative to rhe more expensive Classique or slightly older 14.

Sweet!!! I have two of these pens--one with an OB and the other I just received from Bertram's Inkwell with an OBB. I know you'll enjoy your pen, Bill!

Dubhe, did you get this pen off ebay? I remember bidding for this exact same pen then changed my mind when the price got a little higher than I wanted to pay for.

Yes, eBay UK last week.

Hahaha, coincidence! I placed a bid because I wasn't familiar with the pen and it looked nice, I wasn't really serious in purchasing it because I had just made a big purchase the previous day on ebay Uk, I would have gone higher, but the previous purchase was still hurting my wallet so I stopped. Good to know that you got the pen. As I recall the seller also had another junior pen but it did not have the silver cap, hence why it piqued my interest in the first place.

Recently picked up a Solitaire LeGrand in platinum facet finish. A little indulgence to use at home, it is currently fitted with a B nib. Pictured here next to my other cherished 146's.

Does the pattern not align when the cap is on? Lovely set of pens, tempted to get a Petit Prince the more I see it but am still recovering from a recent Copernicus acquisition.

No, the pattern is close but not perfectly lined up. To be honest it doesnt bother me.

      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
