Thank you Con.

 

I just cleaned it up a bit, nothing special, water removes most af the old ink.

 

The barrel of the pen is rubbish so i got it mainly as a spareparts pen . but i´m looking for a usable barrel.

MB slimline.

farmdogfan, I'm pleased to see this nib as I have the same one on my slimline pen (no supporting paperwork). I was worried it was a fake as it doesn't show whether it is 14K or 18K and the design is rather plain. I presume it may be 14K?

Two of my 50's 146 (OBB with about 1.5mm and OB, both semiflex) framing my 90's 149 (F, stiff).

 

Interestingly the right 146 is almost a monotone nib in this flashlight photo, while under daylight it's still a bitone nib. I guess the plating has been thinned out very much during the last 60 years.

That's a good example why I prefer the older MBs: the nib is not so crowded with some funny engravings and the section is curved, which means my grip is much more comfortable.

 

And one more, fresh from the bottle (MB Lavender Purple) - no further explanations necessary I guess...

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
