Here they are: M flex and EF architect-like, both 18C

@stoen Which one is FLEX ?? and EF Architect-like. Did you got it ground or it came like that? thank you for sharing.

The upper right (from 1967) is EF architect.

The lower left (from 1957) is M flex.

 

Both nibs are unaltered originals.

Yesterday I visited London MB Boutique to get repaired two of my MBs. 

MB Mechanical pencil which is Completely  broken. 

My Vintage MB BOHEME ( Non retractable  Pen ) completely  broken and got stuck with an old disposable cartridge inside. They proposed that it should part for Germany Surgery table. But after some conversation they agreed to do something with  in their workshop.

So after some hours they fixed the problem and now the pen and the pencil is back to normal. I am super happy they did the fixing  free of charge as I am a familiar MB person to the shop. 

 

Did this quick writing..

At the office: Jules Verne with Ottoman Azure.

 

Always hate or love with this pen, never a comfortable workhorse.

 

At home: A 149 and the Proust are inked up.

I used my Tiny Mozart from my vintage MB pens.

This card reminds me of an old promotional sign of one of the traditional pen shops here in Frankfurt, as the card shows a German sign „Papier-boutique“ and there was the same neon arrow. 
It was called Füller Haizmann in the Schiller Street 😊

Oh my! That's a real beauty and a pen to lust after. What nib did you get?

Beautiful, Perry. I have a 244 in the same color.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
