144 from 1987/8... First nice fountain pen... Haven't used it in 20 years... Kinda enjoying it with Irish Green...

 

149P with Irish Green... My first larger pen with a fine nib... Not sure I am comfortable with the narrow size in such a large diameter barrel... Haven't figured out how to hold it... (149B, 146M, Solitaire BB, Hemingway B, and a Fitz B)

 

Want to like the narrower nib, but I am not sure as of yet... Otherwise, it is a pretty pen...

 

Maybe need the rose gold to complete the set... Hmmm....

I try and limit my self to one or at most two MBs in my rotation. However, there are currently three:

Star walker (with Irish Green ink)

Heritage 1912 (with Diamine Green Black in it)

The new M (with Diamine Imperial Purple)

Mark Newson in F Nib, inked in MB Lavender Purple in a Large size cartridge from Edelstein. Perfect fit that gives more than

two times the ink of a normal international cartridge.

Montblanc inks are not terribly expensive in NZ actually. If you're in Auckland, the UoA (city) campus UBS has a few bottles of J Herbin, and you get quite a good selection of other brands from Roger Bamford at Classic Pens NZ and websites like inkt.co.nz. Happy hunting!

Blue is not really my colour but you might be interested to know the AKL boutique still have bottles of blue hour in stock. Its more of a teal colour compared to pacific blue though... Google it for review. Inkt has private reserve and iroshizuku, and Roger has R&K, diamine and others. LOTS of blue options to choose from.

A Classique Steel II that I've had in rotation since it was purchased. Mesmerizing pen. :)

My journaling pen for the last several months has been my WE: Tolstoy. Preparing to go on vacation and deciding between a 149 and a 1912 for my travel companion.

      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
