I began to wonder if this is possible with the 1912 and have been looking for a disassembly video but haven't found anything.

 

 

I would really love to see a video or some pics of the pen dismantled!

 

Actually, we should start a thread only showing pictures of dismantled MP pens or link to video in order to understand better how they are made!

I would be also curious about what’s inside the 1912. The only clue that I was able to find is the disassembled Hero H718, which is supposed to be inspired by MB Heritage 1912.

Received back today my 1912 with a new Broad nib which has a lovely variation and does not seem to be too wet. Perfect, so glad I took the plunge with this nib on this pen, I was worried it might not work as a daily writer but it seems to be ok.

 

Also of note, the exchange took less than a week, I think Hamburg only have delays when the nibs are not in stock.

Enjoy it, that looks very nice.

I've had mine inked since early December when I got it. I came late to the party and it seems many others did too. When I saw it in the flesh I was sold on the appearance; that modern and vintage cross. Now that I've been writing with it for some time I must confess it is a very, very beautiful pen to write with. Pens that don;t post usually irritate me a bit, but this is so pleasurable that I can't gripe. I've been surprised at just how much I've enjoyed it. It feels so comfortable in the hand and the nib is a dream. It's a shame they discontinued this because of all the pens I've owned only the 149 and the Pilot 823 have tempted me to buy another for the sake of a different nib. If the 1912 was still available in a double broad I think I'd sell some pens to acquire.

I like that handwriting sample. Your new Broad nib makes beautiful strokes.

A rapid nib exchange bringing you such an excellent nib is a great way to begin 2018.

Thank you for sharing the image and handwriting sample.

You have a nice daily writer. Enjoy!

It is still available new, Harrods in London have one in stock I know of, and I am sure there are others.

The sales guy in Harrods, who works for Montblanc, actually said it is still in production. Might be worth asking your local AD if they can get one.

I have sent my Heritage 1912 in for a nib exchange as well. MB has promised to get it back to me with a B nib by mid-March. I will do a show-and-tell.

      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

      @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
