139 - ✓

138 - ✓

136 - Yet to be acquired.

134 - Yet to be acquired.

132 - Yet to be acquired.

 

Three more pens to go, Christof. But since you already scored the two harder-to-acquire pens, the remaining three should be a breeze. Btw, is that a Steel nib or a Palladium nib?

This is a Steel nib. ....and thanks for reminding me that collecting pens is a never ending and costly activity. Thank you!!!

Christof, you're very welcome! Ha...

 

If it makes you feel any better, I just made my first purchase of the year-- and to think it's only two weeks into 2013...

 

Another 50 weeks to go, I can't imagine, nor do I want to. Ha...

If you really want me feeling better, let me know how much you spent, haha!

Soot is correct. You should finish collecting the MB 130 series. The 138 is harder to find than the 139. Your 138 is stunning. The steel nibs are really under rated by most fountain pen people. Congrats Christof!!!

As usual great pen, great photos, great repair job (great Fountainbel!), and great friend! Quite an asset that friend, but where does he get all those wonderful pens?

 

Maybe collecting a lifetime? He started in early 70's when nobody was interested in fountain pens. He was working for a Swiss airline and went to Atlantas biggest flea market once at month. Now he's retired and has lots of time to think about what to do with all these pens, cameras, photographys etc...

 

Good for him, good for me as well :)

One of the little details I love about these Symetriks is the inlaid gold crescent just north of the clip - it is highlighted especially nicely with the gold and bronze pattern of your pen. Classic early 1930s styling.

 

Great pen Christof!!!

 

P.S., nice corduroy sports coat - I was wearing a similar jacket last Friday. :happyberet:

      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
