I Really Need Reliable Information About The Material Of The Cap Mb Czar Nikolai


paradigm

Recommended Posts

Greetings to all!

I really need now accurate information about the composition of the material that is used as "malachite" in the cap of the Montblanc Czar Nikolai series

Please, if you have a description of this pen in the official Montblanc brochure or in the booklet that comes with the pen, or from somewhere else (official information) - provide an exact quote from the text block that describes the composition of the material (or the name of the stone ), which is used in the cap.

Also need a photo of this text.

If the material is described in several places in the brochure, I need photographs of all these blocks of text.

Thank you very much!

p.s. Sorry for so much weird request. Actually, it is very necessary now.

It is a crushed malachite stone powder mixed with resin if I recall correctly and not a piece of actual stone. Don't have any brochure to help though.

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

I understood it was "Precocious Malachite". :)

Not sure whether this can help..

It helped! Really.

 

And what is written by hand on the form on the left above?

"Solitaire Malachite ..." ?

 

The resolution of the picture is small, I can not increase it to accurately read these words.

Can you upload hi-res picture? I assume that the original photo is of a much higher resolution. Maybe 2000x3000, or something like that.

Solitaire Malachite Fountain. The photo is taken from the internet.

Thank you very much!

Here managed to detect and prove the lie of Montblanc regarding the material of the stone in the cap.

I will post this in a separate post a little later.

".... only genuine malachite has been used ......." For clarity, please explain how this statement, from the above brochure, is false.

I have read said thread. Please answer my question,

The lie is not in one line of text, but in the aggregate of all the information that Montblanc provides about the pen.

 

There is no real composition anywhere, just mentions that give the impression that there is natural malachite.

 

And at the same time, their statement translates as "An unknown amount of malachite in an unknown form was used in an unknown composition of this cap. Or maybe it just lay next to it, for the smell."

There is no lie. Malachite is used in the manufacture of these pens.

I have worse news. Caran D'ache Caribbean Sea ink contains no Caribbean sea water.

Add lightness and simplicate.

Similar process was used for the Visconti Homo Sapiens...it has lava used in the composition but it's not carved from lava.

~ After reading this thread, I feel downcast. No more tippling of a favorite ink.



It seems that Montblanc Burgundy Red has been foisted onto the public with a fraudulent label.



It's actually made with cheap cowshed Bordeaux plonk!

      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
