Montblanc 149- Cursive Italic By Pendleton Brown

[biancitwo]

 

~ Montblanc Royal Blue ink never looked better than in the photos illustrating this review.

The Cursive Italic nib produces very lovely lines and curves.

The lovely lines from this Pendleton Brown cursive italic are precisely what I have enjoyed from numerous Pendleton Brown nibs.

This is a particularly helpful review of an out of the ordinary Montblanc 149.

Sorry for the delayed response.

 

This pen has never been un-inked, since the first day it returned from Mr. Pendleton Brown.

 

It sits in a Montblanc desk stand, and everyday I come to the same conclusion as you, it is "an out of the ordinary Montblanc 149'".

 

Thank you for your comments Mr. Kelly,

I so very much agree biancitwo.

 

Mr. Pendelton Brown truly is an artist, as he does bring a flair and unique personality to the work he performs.

I wish I could get good notebook paper that had spacing like that. I don't know why it bugs me writing across two ruling lines.

 

I'm looking at something similar for my 149. It's kind of too dry (requires a little pressure to write at all) but it has a big big blob of tipping on the back and I'm thinking of getting a BB stub ground from it so it has an EF/F normal and big signature stroke on the reverse.

 

Only problem is that all the good nibmeisters in the area have a 6-18 month turnaround, which is just insane.

As you know, most nib meisters offer rush service. I've experienced Pendleton Brown and Mark Bacas, and both of them hav e done nib works within a week and turned it back to me when I used the rush service. It mostly costs about $50.00 more than the normal one, but I think it's quite reasonable price.

 

Or if you don't mind to just wait "Before" sending the pens (not after), Pablo of fpnibs.com can be a good option. I had to wait about 3 months before sending the pen, but he got the work immediately when I send the pen after my turn came.

Hello

 

I feel the same way, so I created that lined under sheet myself at 10mm spacing.

 

I like a little space, especially when I am pushing around a #9 Montblanc nib.

Hello again

 

I have also always really enjoyed the use of both sides of the nib to take advantage of the line variance.

Sometimes you get lucky and you almost end up with two completely different pens with just a simple flip pf the fingers.

One for flat out writing and one for margin notes; also great when drawing.

Hello

 

Good advice.

 

I think for maximum results and minimum frustration, good communication goes a long way.

 

I also really enjoyed getting to know Mr. Pendleton Brown a little; he is a really great gentleman and an amazing artist with a nib.

What you've explained above is a powerful positive endorsement.

That it's retained its desirability as a writer for so long reflects the nib's special quality.

Thank you for the follow-up reply.
