Here’s adding two more grails from the 1930s. A No. 35 Meisterstück coral red and a 422 stylograph in mottled red.

Great finds Sia. Curious, does the mottled red 422 have a red dot on the cap top? I think that's the way MB used to mark their stylographic pens.

Both are beautiful pens. I am lucky enough to own both pens. You have extremely good taste in pens

Mottled red! That's sensational!

 

Great stuff, Sia. Congratulations!

Thanks! I can now check the mottled red colour box for my collection. This one is a bit different from the typical red we find on MB safeties or level fillers - quite beautiful!

I own a #35 and it's my favorite pen in terms of style and function. The mottled color scheme on the other pen is super-duper!!

Thank you! I too find the 35 to be the perfect sized pen for me!

Finally, I add a grey striated 142 to complete my 14x collection! I will be looking for a replacement turning knob of better colour in the future but I am seriously impressed with the colour of the barrel and cap! Also, I finally have some 13x representation in my collection (I sold the older 13x pens) and also the only steel alloy nib in my collection today!

Sensational! What a wonderful colour! Many congratulations.

The turning knob looks just fine, from where I'm standing.

 

I have a couple of Montblanc wartime steel nibs (on lower tier pens) and they are amongst my favourite writers. When I first obtained them, I stopped using the gold Montblanc nibs for about a year and just wrote with the steel nibs.

It was probably partly novelty value, as I've gone back to a more diverse set of daily writers - but, there's usually a steel nib in there, somewhere. Today it's a BB 234½.

 

Congratulations, again on your collection. It's most impressive.

Thank you! And that BB 234 1/2 sounds lovely!

      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
