OBB or a stub might be better. Lovely pen and workmanship.

 

 

Thanks for the suggestion 1nkulus. Yes, an OBB would be great also. I have a 146 with an OBB and a 149 with an OBBB, and the one size in all my MB's that I lack is the OB (and a true EF, but that will be for later). I have a couple Pelikans with OB nibs that I really enjoy... a Martele with an OB is on my short "must have" list :wub:

Just bought a Montblanc 147 75th Anniversary at auction on Ebay. It has a new cap and has been serviced and tuned by Montblanc prior to listing. This is my second 75th. my other is a 146. Just love that 75th nib.

I now have a 144, 145, 146, 147 and 149. What happened to the 148? Did they make one?

No such pen as a 148.

Yet...

 

I would tell you more, but

 

The first rule of fountainpen network club is, never talk about new fountain pens...

If some iteration of the heretofore mythical 148 will come into being...WOW!

In any case, I respect and appreciate your keeping whatever you know to yourself, so that someday it will be a grand surprise for all of us.

I was unaware of the nibs in your collection, in which case it makes sense to complete the trilogy. :thumbup: Glad you have been able to tick one off the grail list.

 

IMO, I would have the Martele with OBB and the 146 with OB.

I wish MB nibs were as easily swapped as Pelikan nibs... then we could have all the variations whenever the mood hits :lol:

And that is why the Montblanc guys need to own a few Pelikans and the Pelikan guys need to own a few Montblancs.

An unfortunate MB side effect. :D OTOH, how would MB maintain it's aura if it adopted Pelikan's simplistic approach?

I went to a boutique and went a bit mad. Purchased the WE Homer. And 2 inks, Swan Illusion and the Spider. Order in for 2 bottles of Homer ink too. Oh and a rather nice Classique. Pictures to follow in a few days...

I ordered a sealed William Faulkner and it will arrive on Monday. I'm going to fill it with Parker Washable Blue and hope it doesn't spring a leak. :)

Hehe, I like it.

But no. Its blue and has a star I disliked when I saw it in the pictures and little gold foxes.....The special edition Little Prince. In the flesh, its quite something.

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

      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
