What is your latest MB acquisition ?

[Chrissy]

I currently do not own a Montblanc fountain pen... yet.

I was, however, lucky enough to obtain this MB bottle of 'Swan Illusion: Plume' ink to fill my Edison Beaumont.

Looks like a nice ink, limited edition? Seems to be like as very light taupe/champagne color that shades down to a nice off-white grey.

I've also bought a bottle of Swan Illusion Plume ink. I tried out the Monteverde Moonstone version first, but it's darker, so I waited until Black Friday and got 20% off of the bottle of Swan Illusion. It's an unusual shade.

I just received this Montblanc 144 in Bordeaux with a fine nib:

Thanks to Roy at Izod's in the UK, I recently bought a mint Agatha Christie with a fine nib. Quite a magnificent writer.

Just a follow up on this post. I found the pen to be rather thin to my liking so I decided to give it to a good friend of mine who is a law professor. He almost choked when he saw the West Germany sticker!

What a generous give away/ no doubt he had a heart attack. By the way ... was it the nib or the pen size was the matter ? This pen looks good.

I have just added a Vintage Nobless to my Montblanc Pens set.

The nib was fine but the pen was too slim for my taste. Maybe it was my subconscious telling me I shouldn't keep the pen but rather give it to a good friend who deserves a nice writing instrument.

During the past years I have given pens away to people I believe will appreciate a fine writing instrument. Maybe we should start a new thread: What pens have you given away?

Not a new pen, but a new cap since the original cap for this was broken beyond recognition....This is a 220 in makralon finish with a newly acquired 227 cap. Perfect fit and I think it looks pretty snazzy!

[ChrisC]

Just added a Montblanc 126PL!!

Never thought I'd get one of these.

Going back to the Opening Post

The White Snow Cap on the Mozart looks a bit odd, it looks too pointed, could it be fake? Or do Montblanc have different shaped snow caps

...do Montblanc have different shaped snow caps[?]...

They sure do. Though it's two-dimensional, have a look at the cover of Collectible Stars:



Across the modern Meisterstuck range, lesser girth makes for a more pointed star (e.g., 114), while greater girth results in a flatter star (e.g. 149).

Glad that worked out! Looks great! (but then I am biased in favor of 220s)

Added a Montblanc 145 (Chopin) with bold nib, and a MB 163 Rollerball. Got the last bold nib that FP Hospital had in stock.

Did not expect to buy another cartridge filler, but I preferred the simplicity of replacing a cartridge over bottled ink and checking a bottle of ink in luggage.

Bought the 163 used, to "match" the 145. It does a nice job on postcards and other items that don't take to fountain pen ink.

The 145's bold nib and J. Herbin Éclat de Saphir ink did well in a teNeues Paris notebook purchased at Melodies Graphiques years ago.
