Montblanc Model 74 Meisterstuck Fountain Pen and Hermes Lizard fountain Pen case






I like this Fountain Pen not just because it is a Montblanc made in 1965-1970, it has a very smooth nib for daily use. It does not stick on paper and it is never too smooth that does not able to provide you writing feeling on the paper.
It adds a bit more elegancy when it is carried by an Hermes Lizard pen case! That Hermes Pen case is not cheap!

Montblanc Yellow Carrera



Mont Blanc Yellow Carrera pen set. In the mid 1970's the school pen 042 "Monte Rosa" (introduced in 1952) was discontinued and replaced by the Mont Blanc Carrera which was a pen in Yellow with a Matt Black metal cap and a large stainless steel clip punctuated by six holes. This set consists of a fountain pen with chrome plated steel nib; a ballpoint pen with giant refill and tip inlaid with Mont Blanc white star. The set also contains a pen stand in the shape of a racing carrera car tire.
The one on top is a Cartridge filler, second one is Piston Pump, the one on bottom is a four colour ball pen with auto colour selection. A Fantastic Set of Montblanc pen set.

Montblanc Mastrpiece 74 in Brunswick Green




I finally got a excellent condition Montblanc model 74, That is medium nib, very smooth and sensible! The colour is one of my favourite, Brunswick green, humble and low key, well  if I can get a Mentis Green, that is live, vivid and Energetic, I doubt if Montblanc had made this green pen in Mentis Green!?

I placed another my best favourite Montblanc model 82 in gold for size comparison.

Montblanc has made the finest pen in the 60-70s. The amount of ink flow is just right, and very personal touching feel when  you write, whereas the new pens are more focused on the package, less attention on the nib.

Faber Castell five element, Pen of the year 2012




A fascinating encounter: the deep structure of ancient wetland oak, whose beauty has been naturally wrought over thousands of years, together with gold, that lends a supernatural sheen to the most beautiful works of art created by mankind.  
The combination of gold leaf and ancient wetland oak makes the Pen of the Year 2012 an extraordinarily luxurious fountain pen. The 18 carat bi-colour gold nib is available in line widths M, F and B, each one ‘run in’ by hand. The end-cap protects the twist knob for the filling mechanism. All metal fittings are 24-carat gold-plated. The masterpiece is crowned by a chessboard faceted citrine gemstone set in the cap.

A sensitive and masterly touch is demanded, if gold leaf is to mould perfectly to the graining of the oak barrel of the pen.

The gold leaves are carefully applied by hand using a fine squirrel-hair brush. A 4 000-year-old technique is used that dates back to the Egyptians and is mastered by only a select few people today. Such an extraordinary craft demands particular artistry and skill.

After studying old Venetian gilding techniques and winning the Bavarian State Design Award, the gilder and church painter Ernst D. Feldmann has achieved the almost impossible: Layer upon layer of 24-carat gold leaf is applied to the oak pen barrel in an intricate and detailed process. Embedded in resin, this reveals a unique pattern of reflections that only the purest gold can display. 

Each individually numbered writing implement comes in an exclusive deep black wooden case. A certificate, signed personally by Ernst D. Feldmann, attests to the 24-carat leaf-gilding on the 1700 year old German oak wood, as well as to the limited edition to 1500 fountain pens. The high-gloss collector’s case with glass lid and two removable trays made of linden wood provides a masterly setting for any collector’s favourite pens.
