Montblanc Carrera Help


Rafiki76

Recommended Posts

Hello, I have a Carrera with an EF nib that I absolutely love using, unfortunately the grip has a crack near the nib and I was advised by many of the recommended "pen mechanics" on this site that it cannot be repaired. I found a nos grip for the pen but I am lost as to how to remove and replace the grip. Has anybody done this before?

 

Thank you,

You don't know what you need until you realise you haven't got it.

Hi Rafiki76,

 

One of the key advantages of the MB Carrera over equivalent student pens is that it can be easily disassembled for repair. Without a photo of the pen, it's hard to judge how to repair it. Most cracks can be repaired. Check out my post about the repair I did on a broken Carrera feed. If you can post some pictures, I'd be happy to make suggestions about how to repair the crack.

      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
