Hi.

I just restored this vintage Montblanc 136 pen. Actually I refitted the nib in a new Montblanc 146 copy. This sounds like blaspheme, but the old pen was beyond restoration.

I've used the old pen daily a couple of years, with the resin couldn't take daily use, so it cracked. I've tried several experts, but nobody could help me.

The nib is a fine OB fully flexible nib. It writes perfect. It went out of production around 1959. In my opinion these where never equaled by modern pens.

I have another pen in progress, but you will have to wait to see that :-)

I simply love this pen. I've own a lot of pens, and around 6 vintage MBs, but this one writes the best.http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f198bb9c4e.jpg

Finally my birthday present arrived from repair at Montblanc Germany. It's a 149, their biggest pen. This one was made in 1955 - 1960. It's a flexible medium nib. The medium is broader then I usually like in a pen, but these '60ties pen with flex are so rare.

This one was a find.

It will come to good use on work. I use my pens daily, taking notes and practicing.

Ballpoint, fountain pen and pencil all work like a dream, very happy. The fibre has no cartridge and parker no longer make the refill, but I hear some have success with rollerball refills so may try that.

Definitely think this will make a good suit wearing set. Inlike to keep a pen on hand when I'm out in a suit 😂

My go to fountain pen is a Cross Art Deco platinum plated. I love all things Art Deco, including that pen.

Two of my favorites that I use most of the time.

The other is a titanium Namisu Nova pen with a titanium nib.

Jinhao 159, very large fountain pen, everyday user for me. No specialist here for sure but the vintage fountain pen I used before seemed like they were always scratching the paper. This Jinhao just glides nicely.

I have a few 450's, i like them except that the lids fall off and they are hard to start if they dont get used regularly

Never had the nib fall off, and since I changed ink it doesn't seem to dry up like the old one did.
