    Could you give us a sense of the size of the barrel? In the picture where it is capped, it looks like the barrel is fairly big and stubby, but in the picture where the cap is posted, it looks long and rather thin.

    What a lovely pen. I have always wanted a MB safety. I have been looking for one for a while. Thanks for the photos.

    Thank you Orfew, yes it is a nice little pen, but not too small to use.

    What a great pen that its. Classic and deceptively simple-looking.

    Does the nib offer much line variation? Writing sample, please.

    The nib is very soft and flexible.

    I think your location helps with that. Here in the US I'll see lower end American pens at such places, but finding a Montblanc would be like finding a diamond!
