Just got an Alexander Dumas for a very good price, and I'm very happy about it. So I decided to share! Never thought I would get one!

Thank you for posting the image of your Alexander Dumas.

That's an especially nice photo.

I'm glad that you were able to add one to your writing desk.

May it bring you much writing pleasure in the years to come!

Thanks Tom :)

 

Does anyone know if they still make nibs for this pen? The medium it came with is great, but I feel I should put a special nib on it!

Yes, if you want to pay for one. For a quote you would need to contact MB. I'd expect any quote to start at $300 and it could be a lot more if they do not have any nibs in your desired size and need to make one.

 

Now if you somehow bought the pen recently from an authorized dealer as a new pen, you are entitled to a nib exchange for free into a standard size.

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

Congratulations on the M205 birthday gift, Tom (and Happy Birthday!). I can't believe you know Jack McDevitt. He is one of my favorite authors. I especially enjoy his Priscilla Hutchins series.

I have added Three Pens to my Montblanc collection :) But they are not Fountain pens .

Three ball point pens. One classic platinum silver Ball pen / Star walker rollerball which I find very interesting writer/ and a vintage fountain pen with a spring mechanism which is bit rare sort of slim size.

Well I love my small MB collection.

A gift,

 

A James dean with ink.

 

My wife brought it back from a trip to Turkey. I was quit anxious about that trip but she was intrepid. And she was out about two months before things came apart.

 

We are very near the site were he totaled his Porsche and it totaled him.

 

Strangely. Its one of two pens Ive never inked.

 

It is a very big pen with a smallish nib.

Very pretty.

Cheers,

Thank you for posting the images of your OBB 149 Elbphilharmonie.

The OBB nib with Lavender Purple is gorgeous!

Such a beautiful nib to have in OBB.

Nothing big, just a MB Carrera, the orange version. Steel nib, very nice and good writer. As said, not much, but it's a Montblanc :)

Nice, underrated MB pen for writing! They are a little thin for me, but can be a good value. Enjoy

Beautiful! Mine was a broad stubbed by MM and probably my all time favorite all around user; I cry out for it in my sleep occasionally ...

 

I just picked up a 149 Calligraphy. Toying with it to figure out the best ink to flow without gushing yet not leave train tracks when trying too add a bit of width too quickly. Nothing like vintage flex, IMO.

Congratulations on your 149 Calligraphy Collection with an Expression Nib.

It's useful to know that it requires a certain amount of trial and error use to get it right.

That it's unlike vintage flex is also helpful to know.

I hope that with time it'll become a treasured writer for you.

Thank you for posting your thoughts about it here.

Tom K.

I really doubt it, but a medium MB would probably make a nice stub. I had a medium Delta Julius Caesar stubbed by MM years ago, and it was a terrific writer for most applications. If you do, 6 of 10 flow and a tad extra sharpness would give you a smooth writer with excellent variation. I also had mediums stubbed by Deb Kinney and Richard B, and all were exceptional.

      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
