Montblanc Bohème Chart

Recommended Posts

Thank you for the brochure postings!  I'm not a fan of the plastic "gemstone" on the clip and toyed with popping mine out and replacing with a real ruby or sapphire or diamond.  But never got around to it.

I hope it‘s not plastic 😉 ...should be synthetic gemstones on most models. The solid gold Je T‘aime has a real ruby.

 

But I look forward to the result in case you come around to do one day.

 

Cheers

I anyone has a copy of the .pdf could you please repost. The original link produces a damaged file.

 

Thanks!

 

I uploaded a copy of the PDF, which can be dowloaded at the following address:

It is a too well-done work to simply disappear...

Hello everybody,

I came across this website that offers Montblanc Boheme fp's at prices that appear too good to be truth.

Does anybody have information on this seller?

Thank you,

Victor.

Those prices are too good to be true. They must be fakes. That is, if you ever even receive a pen.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

I was recently able to try one at a MB boutique, sadly it was in a drawer as a nib demo and not for sale. I'm infatuated with the elegance of the mechanism and size of this fp. If it was still in production I'd get one in a heartbeat. For now I just have to bide my time until I come across one used.

I've got a 1999 pre-Boheme Rouge Et Noir and Noir-et-Noir pair of pens that was purchased from a North America corporate-run Montblanc boutique back in the early 2000s.  Both pens are never inked.  And I'll probably never use them.  And I used to have a Boheme set that was stolen from me also in the early 2000s.  I really liked my Boheme fountain pen from back in the day.  This post brings me back!

I loved my Bohèmes. Alas I made a choice a while back to let them go in favour of a Martelé but the mechanism always appealed.

 

Perhaps one day a cheeky Rouge Et Noir may appear again. 😉

Hi all, I actually have one of the solid gold edition with a heart shaped ruby on the clip. As I am about to buy a complete collection, I would be ready to sell it. If anyone was intersted, let me know.

It is very fine. Could you send more pictures of the pen? Nib body 

Thanks

Hello everyone, I was wondering if this is something I could ask here instead of making a new thread - I have in my possession a regular Boheme Rouge but it has an 18k nib instead of the standard 14k nib. I've not been able to find info anywhere on this and I'm hoping someone might be able to shed light on this. I'm thinking it could be a regional variance or maybe it has been replaced and serviced?

Have you had a look at the boheme chart posted years back by fpupulinYou might find the answers there. Check the one dated May 21 2021 above.

Thanks for pointing that out. I hand't thought to look past the main one on the first page, but after downloading it seems like they are the exact same chart.

 

I'm heading to the boutique when I have time sometime next week to verify the size of the nib, hopefully they can give me some info without be having to hand it in to their service center which would take a few days.

I suddenly became rather fascinated with the boheme. I am a complete rank amateur compared to you guys, so this is only my second MB, from a collection of maybe 5 FPs!

Anyway, ebay purchase, "Excellent" and it looked fine from the pics. Pen turned up and in fact was dreadful; all gritty and horrible... after learning to soak it for a couple days and disassemble it completely (thanks YT), I realized it had leaked at some point, and there was a LOT of ink caking in there. After tons more soaking, patience, ultrasound cleaner, more soaking etc I managed to restore it about 95% -- there is still some caking around the gold ring around the nib, but the plating appear very fragile there so I left it as is...

The good news is that I now now how to assemble and disassemble it in my sleep! 🙂

 

Another thing, now that I know how to do it, it is not that hard to clean -- you just have to unscrew the front of the pen, then unscrew the nib (being careful to keep the plastic guide tube and you can do the cleaning from there, I don't think it is a lot harder than other pens? Certainly you do *not* need to disassemble the whole mechanism from the back!

 

Anyway, I'm enjoying my "new" pen, thank you for the information present on this thread, as it was very useful during my research (before I joined the forum!)

      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

      >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,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. 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.
