A lovely and elegant pen. :thumbup: Glad you are finally in possession of your grail pen.

How old is it and which nib did you get?

Yesterday, for my birthday, I received a requested gift -- (Montblanc M) RED Rollerball. I love the pen's vibrant red color and am very impressed by the sensuous feel of the magnetic cap. I plan to use this pen for daily writing (unlike my more expensive, bulkier MB pen which I use for limited occasions). Anyone have experience with this pen?

Congrats!!! Please show it off in a separate thread when it arrives. Is this a 139 or a 136?

Found 2 NOS pen cases off ebay that came from Paris, loving the yellow glove but sadly, only smaller pens such as a MB12 or Pelikan 205's fit snugly, it's just too tight for the 146. The green oblong pochette pen case fits the 146 with a lot of room, my guess is it fits the 149 perfectly, the green 2 pen flip flap pen case at the top of the picture, I got from another member from this forum.

Fantastic! What a collection you now have. Many congratulations!

Thank you friend! I have a few of my pens out for restoration but when they return I will take pics of the collection display and share. I have sold about 40 other brand pens over the past 3 months and reduced my collection to 90% MB. Its a modest collection by FPN standards, but I feel its very close to complete for my personal taste and interests. More soon...

I have the M in fountain pen form, and although it doesnt have the magnets for posting, it is still a lovely pen to handle and use.

Yeah GP, they are quite nice, the seller still has some other Montblanc pen pouches left on her site the last time I checked, most of them are for 2 to 3 pens, too bad she didn't have a red one, Now that would have been awsome!, Plus the price for these isn't as steep as the newer pen case offerings or the other NOS I've seen from other retailers (which I think is highway robbery).

Received a package from Izod's today with a NOS Agatha Christie--sterling clip with a fine nib. It looks perfect. My other two Authors pens are the Hemingway and the Edgar Allan Poe. I had been looking for the Agatha for awhile and saw Roy's post on Instagram.

      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
