That is magnificent. And saved to a couple of places against future need.

 

Thanks to you and Jar both..

 

You are very welcome, special thanks to Jar for providing such valuable information, it wouldn't be here without Jar's effort. :)

Does anyone know if the Montblanc No 12 comes in a burgundy color, because I cant find one anywhere?

 

MB 12 comes with burgundy color, I got a 74 in burgundy color, which means the 12/14/72/74 series comes with the burgundy/green/grey color.

I have a 31 with a 585 gold nib. Is this a legitimate variation or is it a 32 with a 31 cap or a 31 with an upgraded nib?

 

Thank you in advance

Hello,

 

It is quite possible, if you look at #4 (you are currently at #44), you will see a variation 32 with 22 'butterfly' style nib gold nib, and ember ink window.

 

The 31 has 2 versions, one is 32 style steel nib and the other one is 22 'butterfly' style nib.

 

It is quite possible the a cap from a Montblanc 31 (with 22 butterfly style steel nib) goes to a Montblanc 32 body (with 22 butterfly style gold nib)

I have a question - will the (1) section (2) nib of the 22 fit the 72? I have a 72 with a cracked section and nib and there are some 22s for sale that I am considering for parts.

 

Thank you!

Hi, am I correct in thinking these were the first non-flexible nibs used by Montblanc?

 

I guess so, so far, I have not seen a flexible Montblanc 12/14/22/24/32/34, but given it is hooded nib, it is not likely to make a flexible nib out of it. Also, if I remember correctly, Montblanc 149 was in production during this period of time, so a flexible 149 is possibly available during that time.

 

 

Thank you for this wonderful post!

Yes, you can do that, it is interchangable.

Fascinating! Anyone know what a "music writing point" is?

I assume it is a music nib with 3 tines? Wow, I have never seen a vintage MB with a music nib though

A music for the 12/14/22/24/32/34 probably will look like this (http://fountainpenboard.com/forum/index.php?/topic/2252-two-large-retips-with-a-custom-montblanc-music-nib-retip/)

Wow, I've never seen a nib with three tines before, don't suppose you have a writing sample?!

Thanks for the info, I hadn't even heard of a three tine nib before. Never seen this on a vintage Montblanc either but we know it was at least available as a special order on the 344. Fascinating!

Hi, please check the pic below, credit to Jar from (https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/258216-my-first-mont-blanc/)

Its interesting that the chart doesnt show BB or OBB available for the 22, 34, or 72, when in fact my 22 and 34 both have lovely stubhish BB nibs and my 72 had a wonderful OBB nib. Maybe this catalogue was from a specific dealer and shows their stock only (it looks like a page from the 1960s Kohinoor catalogue).

Yes, that is the Koh-I-Noor catalog, so the list would only show what was being sold in the US market, which might be different from what Montblanc offered elsewhere.

Hi, has anyone seen a 12/14 with blue ink window instead of amber? I thought the blue ones went on 22/24 series.

Blue colored ink windows are equipped with 22/24 and 32/34 lines, I have not seen a 12/14 with a blue ink window.

I have a Meisterstuck 14 with blue ink window. It looks correct rather than a result of staining. Is there clear information that it should not be so?

 

This recent photo shows it.

The apparent mark above the 14 is a bit of dust, and the section reflects my shadow, or me.

      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
