The pen and handwriting sample look terrific in the image.

When such a quality photo is uploaded, it brightens the thread.

Thank you.

The Montblanc Midnight Blue shows shading in an F nib. Nice!

Thanks Tom! I love the way Montblanc nibs write. So much character they have, even a simple Fine nib.

My little drama queen...

 

Ok, I'm curious now, why drama queen? :)

 

Love the Boheme series, which model/version is this specifically?

LOL! It had to do with the FPN Facebook page. There were some people complaining that there was too much drama going on and that the mods needed to reign things in. So I posted the pic and called it my drama queen.

 

It a Platinum Dou'e...the retractable nib is a bit dramatic. :)

Disclaimer: I havent used either one yet. Guess I shouldve posted this elsewhere.

 

Montblanc 22s (fine and medium). The F nib version had a piston issue and I ended up breaking the spindle so Im thinking I can just make it a makeshift eye dropper version.

Great pair, Warhammer57, I'll bet they're great workhorses.

 

ED could be a way forward, but I think I'd be scouring ads/llstings for a parts pen and get it back up and running?

 

Can you distinguish which is which, by sight alone? Or is it a case of uncapping and trying out?

Thanks! I havent actually used either one of the yet. I have a 146 but I was intrigued by the classic look of the 22. I originally bought the Fine model but it was missing parts and then I snapped the screw in it trying to work the piston. I then purchased a Medium model, however, I bought a replacement section ring and knob/screw assembly for the Fine model while I was waiting for the Medium to arrive. I received the replacement parts and swiftly snapped the end of the screw off in the piston. Sigh. It likely needs the help of a professional but Im mad it right now, lol. Any suggestions for a professional fixer?

 

I can tell by sight which one is which. The Fine nib model looks older than the Medium model. However, the Medium appears to be in really good shape has so it looks ✨✨. I ordered an unltrasonic cleaner yesterday so Im going to give them both a bath and tinker with them some more.

I just decided to change the inks up a bit.

Old:

146 OM ultrablack - permanent blue

Exupéry M - UNICEF blue

 

New:

146 OM ultrablack - UNICEF blue

Exupéry M - Exupéry ink

 

I love the UNICEF blue, but my Exupéry writes wet on the cheaper paper I use at work so I swapped it.

Please post a writing sample... I have an OM I love but I think OF would be ideal... I've yet to see a MB sample though!

 

 

~ I'm using a platinum Mozart EF with superb feedback. It's one of those pens which is a joy to use anytime.

The comment by RoSpectre more than half a year ago haunts me as I too seek images of Montblanc OF handwriting samples.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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
