Finally tracked down this beautiful pen, thanks to help from an FPN member.

 

It's the 149 75th anniversary Limited Edition, with the rose gold and mother-of-pearl star -- with a crazy OBBB nib!

 

Been chasing this pen for months, one of just 1,924, so happy to finally have it.

In order to appreciate the sweet, you must truly taste the bitter....

Thanks everyone... Enjoying the nib, but after testing, feeling it's impractical.

Could you post a writing sample?

 

I enjoy having a wide range of nib sizes for different kinds of writing and different kinds of paper. That nib won't be suitable for micro writing, but I would much prefer it for other purposes such as short notes, signature, addressing envelopes, etc.

Here's a writing sample, comparing the OBBB nib on the 75th anniversary LE, with a F-XF custom ground nib on my other, regular 149. It's almost difficult to fit the OBBB writing within the confines of a single line. These are writing on Levenger's Rhodia paper.

Many congrats!

Thank you for sharing the writingsample! Just couldn't imagine how it looks like.

Now you have a really wide range of nibs.

I recently bought a pen case for my Stainless steel 146. Have been looking for this case for a while as it has been out of stock in my country.

Just got my L'Aubrac on Saturday. I have to admit, that this pen is really special. The feel of wood and the great details are just stunning. I

decided for an OBB nib, and was afraid, as this is my first oblique. Turns out I feel more comfortable than with regular nibs...

post-110316-0-61948500-1399393347_thumb.jpg

Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever

Congrad Simme that is a beautiful pen. I heard that after years of using it the wood would turn darker giving it pantina look.

I've got a sealed Octavian with fine nib coming from Germany on the 8th and a 146 75th with mop coming tomorrow-- no box or papers on this one(ebay buy- crossing fingers). I'm pretty excited about the Octavian.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
