One asks about his 149, wants to know when it was made, he asks if any one on FPG knows anything about Montblanc
Six say between August 1970 and February 1972 but the box is wrong and the stamped service book is signed in Munich by Herr Flick and he didn’t start until July 1982, they say the clip has been replaced.
One comes back and say that the six are wrong because the polishing was done by Heinz Sight who went from being a German history teacher to work at MB and had a distinctive backwards polishing technique.
Another comes back and says that it wasn’t the work of Heinz because he can see swirls in the polishing which was done by Eddy Schmidt who went from being a hopeless Rhine boatman who went round in ciicles to MB, he had the nickname of Swirling Eddy on the Rhine and he managed to keep the same nickname at MB.
One asks if the 149 has flex
Seven to say that they don’t like flex, so the pen isnt for them.
One says that they like a bit of flex so he might like the pen.
Two say that they like a bit more than a bit of flex, but not too much, another says that he likes a bit less flex than a nib that has a bit more than a bit of flex.
15 say they want to have a lie down
One says that as much as he defends the rights of everyone to talk garbage if this continues he will have no option but to leave FPG in 16 days and 4 hours

One says what’s my pen
Another one doesn’t know but shows a picture of a pen that is a different color, different cap and different filler but says that it you hold your screen to the light and squint a bit then the nib on his pen looks a little bit like the OP, apart fromn the size, shape and color.
One says it is definitely French, then he has a cup of coffee, puts his glasses on and realises that the clip says USA, he deletes post.
Keep well all, keep your chin up and take care.
