A restored and in excellent shape 146, pre-90. As I did the restoration myself, it has even more appeal :)

Congratulations on a great pen and nib. I like how the color of the pen seemed to change depending on light and environment.

MB Beatles SE in M nib. One of the most colorful pens by MB. It might be a novelty pen for many but I dont remember the last time montblanc did something so utterly joyous.

Thanks Zaddick, yes the pen's colour does change depending on the lighting, and the fact that I got an OBLIQUE nib is all the more perfect specially with a W.E. that's 18 years old, I was able to purchase a Poe but the medium nib is a bit of a bore.

During this year I was lucky to buy one of the Heritage Rouge et Noir and the newest Writer's Edition Rudyard Kipling. In the case of the Rouge et Noir I already had a coral ball point, but I decided that the fountain pen had to be the regular black resin. I really like the contrast of the black body and the red emblem.

 

When I saw the first pictures of the Kipling, I thought I would pass (the green in the pictures didn't help it), even though I really like the jungle book and I think I have a soft spot for that story since my childhood; but when I saw the pen I was surprised of how the color varies with the light of the room. It is more like a teal color, that in certain conditions looks greenish, and sometimes it could even look gray.

 

I didn't take pictures of the pens individually yet, but I took a couple of pictures with all the Montblancs I have. Most of them are Writers editions, and I think one that it is missing from that image is a Doue Le Petit Prince for the fox collection from last year. I hope you like them

Hi,

 

Today arrived this Donation Pen Herbert von Karajan.

 

As normally happens with Montblanc, the photos do not merit the piece in reality. It is a wonderfull manufactoring work.

 

Regards

New for 2019 is this Dumas that I've aggregated to my collection this week. :)

One of my grail pens, after visiting the Château d'If in Marseilles (France), I have decided to add this beauty to my collection.

Recently bought a barely used Heritage 1914 and a brand new silver barley 146. These MOP stars certainly raise the bar for my collection, especially the 1914's! It's huge!!! Considering sending in the 1914 for a nib exchange to a BB as mine came with a medium. I had my silver barley 146 swapped out for a broad nib and has been my daily writer since.

      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
