Under sunlight or similar bright lighting (taken with flash like in the picture above) the Montblanc Bordeaux is quite reddish as shown. Burgandy red like their ink. In regular room lighting it is darker, more burgandy.

I don't have a limited addition Mont Blanc, Visoconti however what I consider my most beautiful pen is a pen I just love for it's simply design.

 

It's my Parker 15 GT fountain pen in Red.

 

Here is a pic of the set

Just because a pen cost over a certain amount does not mean you can not use it.

 

I have multiple pens that cost well over a grand each and love using constantly, my most beautiful pen is currently in my pen case in my duffle bag.

I really have three contenders for this. These aren't necessarily my favorite pens, but I love their colors. In no particular order:

 

Edison Collier in Persimmon Swirl: I love the colors, I love the chatoyancy, and I think it has a nice shape.

 

Noodler's Konrad in Emeralds on the Sun: a great combination of yellow and green, great chatoyancy, and this model has a great shape.

 

Noodler's Konrad in Forbidden City: I really love the purple and red and the chatoyancy. It me be my favorite pen to look at in my entire collection. I love the depth of the red. I was disappointed when I got it to learn that it is purple, not black, but it grew on me to the point that I fell in love with the purple and can't imagine anything else.. It's gorgeous. Okay, I think I found a favorite...

 

This isn't the best picture, but here are my three beauties.

Wow, that Konrad Forbidden City is a nice looking pen. I keep thinking I should get another Konrad, but at the moment the available color selection isn't all that great (most of the colors I want seem to be currently sold out most places).

I keep hoping that some new colors of the ebonite pens will be released at some point. Like blue. I found out awhile back that you can get ebonite in blue and I think a blue ebonite Konrad would be awesome.

What a cornucopia of attractive pens. My most beautiful pen is the one I'm writing with. Each one looks different, feels different and writes different. Beauty is in the eye (and hand) of the beholder. As the saying goes, "Dance with the one that brung you"

 

Amen Brother.

 

Here is my work carry. Each has it's own purpose. I smile using any and all of them.

I recently got one like that, myself, and yeah -- it's my most beautiful pen. I love most of my pens, for various reasons -- the Skyline is iconic, the Sailor is handsome, the Targa saw me through college -- but the Vac is drop-dead gorgeous.

The SM1/57 is the sam as my only Swan that I won on the Bay last year. I was impressed even more when I opened the package. The brown is really quite gold and the flexible medium nib may just be the nicest nib I have. For a small pen with a small nib it's truely incredible!

Grace and Peace are already yours because God is the Creator of all of life and Jesus Christ the Redeemer of each and every life.

Oh yes, not only did Mabie Todd have some of the most beautiful materials, they knew a thing or two about making lovely nibs as well!

 

Glad you are pleased with yours.

 

Best of luck,

S.T. Dupont Olympio Vertigo. I still use this pen, however less frequently now that my tastes have turned to lighter weight pens.

 

I like the green malachite pattern on my Must de Cartier pen, however I no longer use this pen. I don't like skinny stick pens. (Which is the same reason the MB Noblesse gets no love).

      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..

      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

      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
