Switala Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 These are two examples made in Brazil. If I'm not mistaken, a CJ and another LJ. They need a little affection. Their turn will come when the repair queue moves a little. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see there's also a cartridge model that presumably would not be recommended.

I will look for some pictures of friends to give an idea of the color palette. These are mine, but they are neglected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the white one that I have only heard of one that exists....and guess who has it? 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmBoy Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I should add that one is horribly stained with red ink so don’t feel bad.

mizgeorge Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Dubonnet Red LJ with Montblanc Encre du Desert. Just picked it up to use after about 10 days and perfect as always. It's a darker ink than I usually have in this pen, but I've enjoyed it more than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gweimer1 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 After a few weeks of other pens, I have an Esterbrook back in my pocket. The nib is a really nice frosted 9460. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switala Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 This one arrived today, I will need to make an adjustment to the nib, but it is well maintained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
