Maybe we could start a fashion of Montblancs being the perfect birthday present?

The Mark Twain WE you see below is my current pride and joy.

It sports a B nib.

This is a photo of my first 146. The nib shows a lot of battle scars but it still performs perfectly.

I have always been in awe of my O.B / B nibs and felt that this was the largest I would covet. Or perhaps only a little bit more, if at all.

 

With the OBBB only being viable on a 149, I figured this is a one-time chance not to be wasted and so I went for it. Later on Solitaires or other LEs I will have the opportunity to get more OBs and OBBs.

 

And what an exhilarating nib this is! I love it. Every time I stop writing, I just pick it up and have another go.

 

Tom.. below is a quick shot of the OBBB vs Signature. Should we, next?

Welcome to the broad side!

 

Now you know the difference between a Cessna and a fighter jet. Vroom!

Oh yeah! I had to gradually adapt my handwriting to accommodate using an Oblique nib and now for the size difference. It is a pleasure most definitely.

I can't imagine 149 with a fine Nib Yet I understand majority likes fine or medium for their daily use, But I can't use fine nib !

I converted my 149 from M to B & I love it's ink flow and how it writes and signs..

Second day with 'The Beast'. I hear you, my ink collection is now going to be the subject of new experimentation

 

The thing is, while immensely fun it is taking time to get adjusted to. For a person that likes to use several different pens on the same page, its taking me time to adjust to the one huge line that dwarves even the OB/Bs.

 

I started with a test flight Royal Blue, Noodler's Old Manhattan Black for a proper vintage/1800s script look, then moved to JFK Navy Blue.
