Mb Egyptomania

[admmarcos]

It seams that we have a new collection to came up in April named Egyptomania.

[Uncial]

Is the Petit Prince series done then, or is this something in addition?

[admmarcos]

No more details about this pen.

In addition to the Heritage series.

Personally I am surprised that the Egyptomania pieces warranted a mention when other future releases are far more striking. Wait till you see them!

 

Ah well, each has his own taste and priorities

I share your feelings.

I'd have expected other Montblanc 2020 releases to receive more interest in Latin America than the comparatively routine Egyptomania series.

I guess that shows once again how little I understand the taste and interests of others.

In any case, 2020 will be a memorable year for all of those who appreciate Montblanc's Hamburg artistry.

????? obviously some of us are not in the "privilege classes" to understand what you are discussing.

I confess that I am a little lost in this topic. Within the restrictions of this forum, without breaking rules, can anyone indicate what this Egyptomania is about?

Well, the POA is devoted to Aztec (!).

because POA 2020 is dedicated to an Egyptian

I believe that is not related to inks, but a new collection of pens - as far as I know.

the three ink bottles I know are elixir egyptomania green, yellow and red

~ Very possibly the Heritage Egyptomania models will be accompanied by a Montblanc scented ink.

Not finished, will continue on. There is one that looks similar to the discontinued 146R which I'm keen on, the first for me & the PP Series!

Hopefully not camel dung... Glad to see you back Tom!

The Heritage Egyptomania pens look very nice and it looks like they will share the same excellent soft nib with the triangular breather hole that the previous Heritage pens had (1912 and Rouge et Noir). They appear essentially to be the same construction as the Rouge et Noir - slim profile with a lacquered metal barrel and metal section - but a different barrel and cap/clip design. I guess the filling system will be the same captive converter type too.

 

If this is right then it will likely have a very nice quality feel, though not everybody favours such a slim pen. I hope that Montblanc has improved the seal of the cap, as the Rouge et Noir pens are prone to drying-out, at least in my experience. This pen looks like it has a similar cap fitting in that the threads are at the nib end of the section.

 

I hope I’m not breaking any rules speculating about some of the features like the nib and body shape, based on what I can see from googling photos of the pens. I am unsure where the line is regarding “posting distinctive details” of pens not yet released.

~ The scented ink for the Egyptomania releases may very likely be a blue hue tending toward blue-green.
