Mb149 In Vermillion

[mke]

I know that there was an MB146 vermillion but I prefer the 149 size.

 

An open request to Montblanc: please sell an MB149 in vermillion! I have some money ready for it.

Put me down on the waiting list after you.

A sweet BBB nib on a 149R...easy livin’.

If dreaming’s the thing, why not dream big?

3rd in line here!

 

Although I’d probably would go with a fine for this one.

The 146R was more of a Bordeaux color than the vermillion you see on a Namiki or Sailor urushi pen.

 

I'd love a 149 in either color, but MB does not seem to fidle with the 149 unless you count skeleton pens.

 

Member maxpens here took some pristine MB 1950s green striated celluloid and vintage 1950s 149 parts and made a period correct (except a concave grip section) fantasy green 149. That was stunning.

I guess it is better to show a link to the colour Vermillion: Wikipedia

It should not be confused with the brighter Scarlet: Wikipedia

+4.Nothing wrong in dreaming.

Just to show what they would be up against:

Namiki, Namiki, Sailor LINK

Available also as pure vermillion: Manupropria Shibui LINK

You could have one painted ... like others have commisioned some Maki-E work on their 149s.

 

Cheers

Yes, but any color on black appears darker than intended.

I have seen pictures of a 149 in a red colour. It was an aftermarket customisation in Urushi and raden by a Japanese artist.

 

I say red colour because I am not sure the colour met the criteria of vermillion precisely. If you are willing to spend the money I am pretty sure you could get what you want.

I was at the local MB boutique and was shown the catalog with MB's James Dean homage pen that is due out later this year. The color could be interpreted as 'vermillion'. It's also 149 sized too.

You remember where you saw the picture?
