Same as all the time, since 46 years ago. My one and only, trusty 149 w. 18C F nib. There are periods I clean and shelf it for a while, but it it’s been in use ever since.

🙂

Terrific image!

 

When you blessed with such an outstanding pen, you're set...for forty-six years, no less!

 

Very nice post. Thank you.

Thanks for your kind comment.

 

When I think back on my early high school days... I was just a kid having earned some money, and this pen was on sale. Well, I thought - let’s invest into something useful which would also last for a while.

I haven’t thought it would last this long.

Did it need service after some years?

Thanks for good wishes.

It’s fully functional. Soon I’ll probably fix few things. I’ll share it when done.

Superb design and execution.

 

Your work above is inspiring.

 

Thank you for showing what an older 147 Traveler may do.

Boheme (red stone) with MB Pop Pink. My excuse is that the sun is out (finally) and it’s a bank holiday! 😎

Trying to bond with my 146P EF. So far it's not working. I plan on using it extensively for 10 days or so. We'll see.

Add lightness and simplicate.

The one and only one MB146 F nib!

 

One of my favorite pens. I have an older one with a gold-tone fine nib; it was my exam pen in school.

Woow!  I cannot imagine to use a MB in school.  I could only afford this MB146 when I had been working and earning for 15 years.

I went to graduate school after I had practiced medicine for a few years; I had a lot more cash than I had as an undergraduate. I tried—and failed—with an inexpensive Parker cartidge fountain pen when I was at university. 

 

As to which Montblanc I am using today, it is a Calligraphy 149 with MB Permanent Blue ink.

      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

      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
