It happened to have the same number with both 4810 and 888, how could I not to take them home together? Besides the 888 doesn't look like just an upgraded version but like a whole new one.

A lovely photo.

 

Destiny was against you so a surrender to both was the only reasonable option! :)

Hello,

 

How much was the nib exchange?

 

The nib on my Christie is a M, but is a little too fine and could do with some work... rather than have it attended to by a nib worker, I might just have MB exchange it for something different.

 

Thanks,

 

I just picked up my this nib exchange, which I had to pay for, but it only took 11 days including postage to and from hamburg. My last purchase until I see this years WE.

I found a nice coral red danish MB 25, it´s a push button filler, and made between 1935 and 1946.

 

Unfortunately it´s got the wrong clip, but i hope to find the right papyrus clip some day.

The german version has a straight cap and a big star, whereas the danish one has a tapered cap and a smaller star, the german version on the right side (with the right clip).

Not a pen but a desk ink blotter:

It seems that Montblanc will stop producing desk accessories so people could be interested by one of the product of this collection from Montblanc will have to decide soon. The info is coming from my reseller.

Your reseller could be right. I had the opportunity to try one of their notepads (ID 06711), a gift from a friend of mine. The cover of the notepads is a high quality blotting paper. The papers are cream colored/off white.

These are not available now, and when I asked the boutiques their response has not been very encouraging.

Pravda Collectors Item

A couple of days ago, I took home a Montblanc purchase that comes with a key!

 

No, it's not a car. I wish. But a very nice Collector's box that honestly is long overdue :)

 

fpn_1526223630__box0.jpg

 

The wood is of exceptional quality. I am not sure what type, but it reminded me of the rosewood that Christofle uses.

 

fpn_1526223658__box1.jpg

 

It houses 20 writing instruments- in 2 floors that are removable- whereas they can be placed flat on a writing table then placed inside the casing once done.

The star on the key I found to be a very nice detail.

 

fpn_1526223716__box3.jpg

 

I was also happy to bring home another fountain pen :)

The packaging is definitely an upgrade from the previous models. They're gradually getting better at it, the blue lacquer box is gorgeous!

I have got that box as well - it is nice but not produced anymore as far as I know. So only available from stock...

And the UNICEF - I knew you could not resist ;)

Congratulations on the box Pravda. I must admit I was surprised to find you did not already have one to home your fine pens. Now they have a nice little home to nestle into.

 

The SE skeleton collection is now up to date and awaiting this year's entry. :)

I purchased another 149 from a fellow member here earlier today. The fact it has my favorite nib width tipped the scales after a few days of thinking.

      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
