Montblanc Red Gold 149 Obbb

[Tom Kellie]

Mr Tom and Ms Ghost Plane, you two have been instrumental in deciding which nibs to pick I'm thrilled to have picked the O3B because of your photos and drool enticing posts about wide nibs!

Does anyone know if the rose gold nib is solid rose gold or yellow gold plated? Just curious.

Plated

I took my O3B out of rotation because I used it exclusively for a month, but I want it back in. Such a brilliant pen and nib.

What ink are you using? May we have a writing sample?

[Ghost Plane]

What ink is that, Tom?

The same question went through my mind, as well.

It's not MB Permanent Black, is it?

Hmmm. Reminds me of Visconti black. Really must find my Visconti bottle next time I'm rummaging and see.

I keep thinking if TK would enjoy his OBBB nibs even more (if that's possible) should they have a little more 'umph'. The Mystery Black needs more flow y'all

Bay State Blue has a stunning look to it. It gives me an electric charge every time I see it.

Has this ink given you any problems?

Not in my Montblancs. My Pelikan M800 needs a good cleaning after two years of BSB.

 

I've used BSB in the 149 for over seven years without any issues.

 

There were some non-starts in my relatively new 90th anniversary 146, but that's resolved after flushing it thoroughly and refiling it with a fresher bottle of BSB.

 

Every time the pens run out of ink, I flush them with water several times before refilling, and flush them with ⅓ ammonia and ⅔ water once a month.
