Navy blue with a MontBlanc treatment sounds very cool indeed. As it's a color fit for daily (business) use I hope they will produce boatloads. I know I will be getting a lot of it. The pen sounds very cool but is well beyond my budget ;)

 

But @RedRobin, do you work at MontBlanc? Do you have source? Seems rather early to announce details of next year's model and ink - or does MB always do this?

Interesting that they are re-positioning this range of pens to offer a cheaper version, comparable in price to the WE pens.

Ask not what MB can do for you, but what you can do for MB :)

would there be an inscription "Ich bin ein Berliner" on the side of the pen? his famous speech on June 26, 1963.

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

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

yeah i hope so too, because i watched a video of him offering a hand to older gentleman , the german chancellor Adenaur and they instantly hit it off as good friends, MR Adenaur gave JFK a 149 to use which in turn President Kennedy simply complemented how smooth the pen was after signing some documents.

 

pretty timeless moment for MB there

Did JFK gave the pen to Adenauer or viceversa? I couldn't found any evidence, but I think that the pen was given by Adenauer to JFK, because the are any photo of JFK using a MB pen. Any evidence no the contrary?

Blade that article appears to be an advertising. There are no photos (besides the one with Adenauer) of JFK with a MB. There are tons of photos of JFK signing and in most cases with a esterbrook. Also in his desk you may see some photos of a Scheaffer desk pen.

Write, write, write. Use your pens not your fingers !!!

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
