Is that a red (burgundy) 146 90th anniversary? looks really good, I'd like to see the contrast with the black one.

 

Cheers,

Great picture! Love it. Does it have a OBBB nib? Does not look that wide

It is a F nib 90 Year Anniversary 149. The 149 never came in Burgundy resin, I wish it did. Just played with the lights a bit to get the red tint.

 

Tom Kellie looking at your sketches is almost as fun as admiring your unequaled photography!

Nicely done!!!

I puzzled over the image you shared until you cleared up the mystery. For a while I thought you had found a 149R.

Heck, I thought it might have been a 146R body and transplanted nib.

The thought crossed my mind, too.

Or perhaps Montblanc itself.

Wonderful photography!

 

Question - the nib on the right looks like a real gusher with the fairly substantial gap between the tines - do you find it to be troublesome (hard starter) with some types of paper?

Tom, what happened? What kind of accident?

Will you address the problem of the separated tines yourself? Do you dare? Have you the skill and the courage to embark on a nib adjustment adventure?

      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

      @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
