I've only seen pics of the very limited edition one

 

On a recent trip to Germany I was fortunate that the proprietor of a MB store let me leaf through the catalogue.

The photos of all the models are available on the collectors preview website since few days.

 

Ah! Yes, I see that now! Thanks! 

 

I agree that the 1812 edition is beautiful, but the step down to the section worries me. The overall shape of the standard edition will fit my hand better, I think.

I have both the Brothers Grimm and Hendrix editions on order with my local jeweller. They very kindly showed me the 'trade only' press release a couple of months back and I ordered them on that basis. They both look amazing, and the little quirky details on the Hendrix model (I speak as a guitarist) are inspired.

Spotted that they had been added. Not really a fan of the normal WE. I'd hoped it would have a nice shimmering material like the other. I'm finding MB is over using the black rubber a bit, which isn't to my taste. Here's hoping the 80 Days offering is good.

Each to their own. It isn't rubber, though. It's MB's "precious resin", so probably a similar construction to the Hugo edition.

I have yet to see photos of the Brothers Grimm pens; but, I don’t have high expectations!

With anything like this it will always be a matter of taste. Personally I think the design of the Grimm pens is really well thought out, there are some lovely details and the overall 'theme' is quite dark, in keeping with the subject matter.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
