    Default WTT/WTB: MB149 Nib

    Hey folks!

    I have a 149 that I just can't love. The problem is the nib: it's an EF with a slight architect grind. It's perfect for printing but 95% of my writing these days is in cursive. I can't justify owning a 149 just for that other 5%. Rather than sell the pen (and probably take a loss) I'd rather see if anyone here has a 149 nib they'd like to sell or, preferably, trade.

    My nib: 18k two-tone, EF architect grind.

    What I want: same, but in M, stub, CI, or maybe even B.

    Thanks!

    Bonjour -

    Hopefully someone on the board will have a nib to trade.

    After a used 149 with a fine nib sat on the sidelines for too long, surfing John Mottishaw's website revealed a couple of "signature" O3B nibs, and pen writes happily ever after.
    At one time his website listed hundreds of used nibs, including some Montblanc nibs.

    If nothing comes up here, you might want to check with John.

    Best wishes for a fruitful quest.

    I do periodically check eBay, but separating the wheat from the chaff is tedious and usually fruitless.
