Xrays Of Montblanc

Recommended Posts

I know many of y'all have stayed up at night thinking "I wonder what a Montblanc looks like when x-rayed". Well, I am here today to finally answer this age old question, lol. As I am the Chief (and the Indian) of Radiology where I work I said lets do it. Actually, several times during the week I fire a test shot of the x-ray equipment after its been restarted or calibrated in the morning in order to confirm that its ready to shot during the day. Usually I shot my Iphone or keys. Today I had my 147 Traveller that had not been inked up yet and thought lets tested on that. Well, here are the results:

Nice contrast. It's pretty remarkable that you can seen the Montblanc name on the cartridge carrier, given that the amount of metal removed is so negligible.

I thought the same thing. Actually I thought that the metal parts would just show up as white because the xrays would not have penetrated the metal. However the xray photons went through some of the metal (represented as black) in the nib and carrier so that is why we can read it.

Thank you, Doc Ozzy. I love this kind of behavior, especially while at work! We need more of it! Eager for you to show us more fountain pen porn. Thanks again. Best wishes, Barry

Fun to see the innards of this particular pen. Thank you for sharing. What's the next pen for tomorrow?

wow! great!

 

Is there a way for you to get a 1912 or 1914? That would be amazing!

I only have a few Montblancs. But if someone would like to send me a 1912/1914 etc I will gladly xray them and send back.

Oh, now that is so cool, but is it now radioactive?!?

Lol, no. If not I would already be glowing. The majority of the x-ray photons pass through the object, no radioactivity is left.

So you've found a way to convert your MB 147 Traveller into a Skeleton? ;)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
