Michel Perchin Pens

[Bryant]

I am thinking about getting a MP5, but I have never seen it in person, and I dont think I would have the opportunity to... Can anyone give me their thoughts on them? Anyone have one? Which color looks better in person?

Thanks,

B

Hey Bry -

 

Michel Perchin crafts amazing pens. The guilloche work and the overlying translucent enameling make the pens just glow - like they are backlit. All metal parts are solid sterling silver.

 

AKAGodSent posted a review of his MP5 in blue a few months ago - https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/in...showtopic=46359

 

I like his choice - the blue enameling with some color misted into the black acrylic cap and section.

 

The MP Executive Collection is a bit more conservative than the MP5 with just a bit of guilloche and enameling on the top of the cap - the barrel and most of the cap of the Execuitve Collection are board room black acrylic. The Executive Collection also comes in rhodium over sterling, rather than the MP5's yellow gold over sterling. If you like white metal, then the Executive Collection in Yellow or in Blue is the choice.

 

My MP Blue Serpent has the same nib used on the MP5. It's buttery smooth, wet, and reliable. I wish Michel Perchin used a piston filling construction, but the MP5 and all MP pens are cartridge converters.

 

It's functional art - you'll like both the MP5 and the Executive.

Have fun Bry.
