Mb Egyptomania

~ The pen release was originally planned for this month, but production was delayed in Hamburg due to public health events.



The ink is being marketed as a special sort of zinc green, rather than blue.



It will be available in the Elixir packaging with a distinctive Egyptomania motif.

When the postponed Heritage Egyptomania models are released, I anticipate acquiring a Resin model in EF.

I'm also looking forward to adding the Elixir Egyptomania special green ink to my writing desk.

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

For some reason Montblanc is mostly off my radar

(whenever I reach a budget that could suffice to expand beyond my 146, and a couple of lower range vintage MBs, I always find some other - pen - priority...)

I don't want to bring the thread too much off topic, but Tom, would you mind summarizing for me why 2020 is a MB memorable year? thank you so much

Thank you Tom, then it's mostly surprises we are still waiting for.

I did notice the Petite Prince in bordeaux, that one looks rather nice...

Yes, it was available but not anymore. The pen pouch is interesting with old Egyptian hieroglyph in the cover. Let's wait... wait...... we cannot comment anything here, but the stores can leak the information.

Yes I prefer the Egyptomania pen pouch to the one of Victor Hugo. Just need to wait its release by MB with the pens :)

Have you noted that the firs glyph on the top of the hieroglyphic design is the Aegyptian gliph for “mountain”? I can not find a “translation” of the remaining glyphs, but may it be that the entire hieroglyphic is a ”reconstruction” in ancient Aegyptian of the name “Montblanc”?

Yes, it seems that MB decided to write its name in ancient Aegyptian in this version.

Wow, the BP does look amazing, I think something in my head just broke.

Me too, I really liked the ballpoint, more than the FP. However, it sounds too expensive for such kind of model.

Yes, white mountain is apparently the hieroglyphic translation, according to the London boutique.

 

He said the ink and pens would be September.

 

I can confirm what other posters have said that the 72 (?) edition is frankly the most impressive pen I've ever handled, a true delight. For my budget, the midrange silver version will have to suffice. The resin-only version felt too light.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
