I finally purchased the MB 149 gold trim. I also ordered the MB mystery black ink. This is my first MB fountain pen. I did an inventory check and I own all Asian fountain pens so this will also be my first European FP. (I like the Pilot fountain pens). I am excited for the pen to arrive. This is my first "grail" pen.

@Fountainpencrazy & dubhe: the Christie is one of the nicest and elegant Writers Edition pens! Very nice. It‘s so different from the more recent limited editions. Subtle but yet striking at the same time!

 

@farmdogfan: love the high top of the pencil! Interesting how those vintage pencils look so different compared to the fountain pens. Nice find.

 

@meblamy: I like mine very much. Especially after I had rhe nib changed to an EF. Also I got a blue Satorial foldable pen case to match the pen.

 

Thanks for showing those great additions!

 

Cheers

I spotted a Broad nibbed 149 being sold as a Medium on eBay and snapped it up. The pen is early 80's with bi-colour 14C, 2-section barrel, split ebonite feed, plastic threads etc.

I really like the nib, but the feed must be clogged as it will not write without pressure. I flushed it with Herbin and lubed the piston etc, but still not quite right. Looking at the photos, anyone else think the collar is screwed too far into the barrel?

Looks good on the pictures and the split ebonite feed usually make great writers. Nib looks good, too.

 

Maybe more cleaning/flushing will help.

 

On those pens colllar and nib/feed housing are an one-piece construction so it should be mounted correctly.

 

Good luck

Farmdogfan I really like the pencil. I have seen them in coral before but not black.

Today I visited the local boutique and decided to get the new Meisterstück Doue Le Petit Prince. I got it in a fine nib. I got the ink bottle and cartridges (even the notebook, got a little carried away, lol.) The ink is called red fox. Looks like the orange from UT Longhorns (for those familiar with college sports in the US). A beautiful color. I included a 2 line writing sample.

I love the book and got really excited when I saw the nibs design. Im afraid the light and my iPhone camera didnt capture how beautiful is the pen, the blue color on the barrel looks much better in real life.

The handwriting sample you provided is very helpful. Thank you for the images.

It shows the Red Fox ink well. Your new pen's fine nib lays down a clear line — nice!

May the Doué Le Petit Prince provide much writing pleasure in the years to come.

Just picked up another pen earlier today along with another bottle of ink :)

 

While it is in fact a grey ink, it does lean towards the brown/golden especially when wet.

No pics yet but just ordered the Montblanc le petit prince LeGrand with an EF nib. Went for the resin section version and counting the days until it arrives. Likely to be the end of this month though so for now will live vicariously off others photos.

OK, now I can ask again: does the 18k nib of the 1906 ebonite feel different to the 14k of the others, and how is it compared to the 1912? I am a happy owner of the 1912 if you recall, and as you are also enthusiastic but also have the others to compare I woukd like to know what you think.

 

I'm really trying to find another Montblanc I want, but I may have started with the best one for me...

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      By Misfit · Posted

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
