It has put me in the notion of an aftermarket engraving job on mine but with celtic knotwork.

When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.

Which I assure you is a great idea !!!

 

I can not stop to be amazed, some normal pens becoming special... Isn't gorgeous the Italian 138 with a short top or a 149 by P. Rossi?

Probably the most of you already now my thread about this pen:

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6165/6161523247_045af3e28e_b.jpg

But well, it's a nice picture of a probably quite rare pen.

 

For those who haven't seen the mentioned thread, it's a 1935-1938 Montblanc Meisterstück 124S. "S" stands for "schraffiert" wich means "chased". The pattern of the chasing is quite uncommon. Only two of these pens are known.

Christof ... YES !!!!!!!! :notworthy1: :notworthy1: :notworthy1:

 

That's another RARE pen!! Wow!!

 

 

One question concerning my 135:

Is there anybody else here, that has one or has more information to share???

 

I would be highly interested !

 

(when I told people about the pen, so far I always heard something like... 'yes I know that the 135 exists but ... havn't seen one')

 

Best regards

Michael

I am one of those who have heard but never seen one, it is in a wish list...

To complete the series a 134 with steel nib and a 136 ...

I say to myself, maybe being in the same thread they will call for another 135 or more information !!!

It has been thrilling to see so many nice pens...

Please, please get this thread pinned. Surely it must now be seen as an important reference for this forum!

1) a 135 ... I have one but rarely seen one

 

Never heard of a 135 - can you tell us more please. Not in any books or on your site or in any online search. I would like to see it and know more :happyberet:

 

thanks

Stephen

 

 

I have a 235 but I did not hear about a 135 before.

 

Here is what my search came up with; at least a little reference:

 

http://www.christies.com/LotFinder/lot_details.aspx?intObjectID=4333781

 

 

Lovely pen so far!

 

I really like the shown MB 138 with the engraved cap band and clip. Also the black and pearl 40 looks very nice. Is the #35 correct or would it need a #40 nib originally?

 

 

Also I'm really looking forward to some of Axel's. Michael's and Max's treasures.

 

Cheers

 

Michael

 

What the heck.

In the same lot a 128PL for 600 pounds!!!!

Is there really a 135???

Did you see the green marbled models a few pages later (you can forward the pages at the bottom)?

 

Also the blog is worth checking out just to look at the pictures. A few prototypes are also shown in the blog :puddle:

Hi

It is certainly not that I do not believe you, but more that I am shocked it exists!

and also that now my 13x series is further from completion!!! :crybaby:

 

Thank you for posting such wonderful and unique pen photos.

I am in awe.

Hey Kai

I contacted Christies and that auction was in Sept 2004.

We definitely missed the boat on that one!

There were some incredible pens there for sure.

Just stunning.

And now we know there is another 135 out there.

I still can't get over the 128PL :notworthy1:

      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
    • adamselene
      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
