Montblanc Elvis - Old Glory Blue


Tonight

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

Managed to get my hands on the Montblanc Elvis Great Person - Old Glory Blue.

Haven't seen any reviews on FPN yet, so posting it here for reference.

 

The only indicator that its the Elvis Old Glory Blue is the packaging box itself.

Otherwise, It is just a plain standard 50ml glass bottle that Montblanc uses for limited inks.

I used 3 different pens to show the effect of the ink with different width:

1) Parker Duofold Centennial Big Red XF

2) Montblanc 145 Fine

3) Sailor 1911S Maki-e Zoom

This is a Dark Blue which is unlike any of the previous Blue series that Montblanc has released before.

The ink is generally well behaved with no bleedthrough or feathering on Filofax 100gsm paper.

I do see myself using this ink on a regular basis as fills the gap between my standard Montblanc Lapis Lazuli and Midnight Blue (non-iron gall)

Overall, a nice standard Dark Blue that is fit for daily use.

I got the ink for SGD55 from the Montblanc boutique.

 

Cheers! Thanks for reading.

The difference between this and the Starwalker Blue that namrehsnoom just reviewed is like night and day.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Great that most are able to view the pictures!

 

I am not sure about Starwalker Blue ink as I do not own it; but from the reviews that I had seen that may be a dark Teal ink much more Grey in it. In the case of Elvis, its more of a dark Blue instead.

 

I am using Filofax 100gsm notebook paper

Thanks for the review... I wondered how this one compared to the StarWalker. Like chromantic commented: a difference of night and day. Personally I prefer the StarWalker: more my type of colour, and also more expressive shading. So thanks again, I now know for sure that I can skip the Elvis.

      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
