ok fpn has infected me, hope the infection doesn't get worse. :D

I just received my second montblanc ...a gently used montblanc generation. for 85$ shipped.

unlike my first mb(Alfred hitchcock)...it has the potential for becoming an everyday carry...as I won't have to worry about spoiling it by mistake.

 

another plus is that it is cartridge/convertor pen...I find it easier to change ink in them.

even though they are not considered luxurious I prefer then.

 

on first receiving the pen I was a little bit disappointed, as it felt very light(I usually use metal bodied pens like sheaffer legacy heritage, modern parker premier , waterman carene, cross townsend etc ) but after using the pen for 2 day...I like it a lot.

 

the nib is very smooth and just glides on paper. it hasn't skipped and start as soon as it touches the paper. has good ink flow...I preffer wetter nibs as they tend to make the shading in inks more pronounced.

 

I was curious, the clip has made in Germany , and pix written under the clip(as shown in the last picture) but no serial no... do the montblanc generation pens have a serial no?

I had 2 Generation pens in the past and I really liked them due to their very classic and elegant shape. To my best knowledge, Generation series do not carry a serial number. A very good find. Enjoy your pen.

It looks the part,writes well,you are happy with it and,as you say, you can use it as a daily writer. What more can you ask for? Happy writing! :)

Some generation pens will have a serial number some will not. I don't know the start off date for when they started placing serial numbers on them but it will be located on the top ring right under the MB star on the reverse side from the clip. Some do not have them. What is going to be the tell tale to if your pen is authentic (which I'm assuming it is) is if authentic refills fit. And the nib. I don't have enough knowledge on the generation line to tell you but the best thing to do would be too post some clear good quality photos of the nib and some close ups of the body all around the entire area of the pen!

there was no serial no. on the ring. I used original montblanc cartridge, it fits like a glove....I am sure it is authentic...as I have seen the nib under the 40x loupe and the impressions are nice and deep and then there is iridium tipping...

I just wanted to know if all generations came without serial no.s. ... thank you for your interest and your info. :)

      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
