Thank you for posting a handwriting sample.

The Montblanc Permanent Blue in your Platinum 146 looks terrific on the Clairefontaine paper.

Is the nib an F? Or possibly an M?

To see a note written in Leiden is a rare pleasure.

Oort, van der Waals, Einstein, and the incomparable Rembrandt van Rijn — Leiden is a global treasure.

Hello Tom,

Thank you for your reply.

The nib is an M.

Leiden is a beautiful city indeed, but sometimes it can be a bit boring. I really am looking forward to leave Leiden at the end of this year when I (hopefully) graduate from high school and I am going to study in Rotterdam.

MB 146

MB 344G with B nib.

 

I wasn't expecting a beautiful stub nib (without flexing) and a very nice (effortless) flexible nib.

I purchased a vintage (1930) MB #40 recently. It was made in Germany and is made of black hard rubber. The nib is a medium and is a wet writer. I love this pen. It was completely restored by Osman Sumer.

Sounds fabulous! A picture would be appreciated if possible :)

Thank you and your #40 is quite special, especially when it's restored by Mr. Sumer.

I’m using my Exupery more and more and just find it to be a really good pen, built to last, and the fine nib is getting wetter and wetter (in a good way) now that I have had it six months.

 

Considering buying a spare, or maybe the LE...

Today mainly my UNICEF skeleton and the Solitaire Petit Prince :

And also little bit my Heritage 1914 if I need green ink and my Steinway 888 for the Leo Tolstoy ink.

Ohhhhh. That makes me wish I could add the UNICEF to my gang of pens.

I also carry a Starwalker Fineliner on me whenever I am attending anything work related in case anyone needs a pen. I am NOT going to let anyone use the nib on my fountain pens

Agreed.

 

But the nib on the extra fine Artfineliner is really easy to snap when borrowed but the un-nibbed. Cheaper to fix with a new refill, but annoying and hard to find.

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      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
