Hello everybody,

 

I'm happy to join this forum and community of passionate of fountain pens and in this forum MB's pens. I have some of them and I will present them in more details in future posts illustrated by some photos.

I have started few years ago by some classical Meisterstuck pens (ballpoint and mechanical pencils) and after that I decided to give me a treat by buying a 149 I wanted for long time. When they have been released my wife and me we have bought the 3 pens of JFK special edition as we really appreciate the character and we found the pens nice too.

At the end of last year I had the occasion to buy the fountain pen of Leonardo LE 3000 and I also bought the JFK LE 1917 rollerball (sorry :notworthy1: ) . At the beginning of this year I bought the POA Steinway 888 I wanted since the first time I saw the photo of it and I completed the JFK LE 1917 collection with the fountain pen and the ballpoint. Now I'm waiting that my reseller receives the Miles Davis LE fountain pen and I will try to save some money for the futur release of this year that could be great if the rumors are right for the great character 2017 and the writer 2017...

So now I'm starting to have a nice collection of MB that I like very much from my point of view :)

 

To the pleasure to have great exchanges on the subject in the future.

Welcome. Share photos, thoughts, writing samples, and whatever else you like. It is always interesting to hear about pens from those passionate about them, instead of just facts and glossy marketing photos.

 

Sounds like the MB bug has bitten you. Enjoy the disease. You are among many fellow "sufferers" here.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

I have only M nib, didn't yet search lot of info on the different models and tried différents models. Currently I'm writing mainly with my 149.

In the future I will take photo and mainly macro of some details of the pens but I'm not very good with the macro and my EOS 450D... So to begin I will post some photos taken with my iPhone.

 

Starting with my Leonardo LE 3000 fountain pen:

I hope you will enjoy the photos and the quality is not too bad. It was the first limited edition from Montblanc I wanted to buy and it was the first I bought when I had the money for. I like very much the Skeleton version of the Atelier Privé 74 edition but not in my means.

No I haven't yet inked it. I will see the new inks that should be released by MB to choose one to try it. We don't see it correctly on the photo but it is 786/3000.

      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
