Last year August I found my passion for fountain pens again. ‘Again’ because I used to collect fountain pens in my school days.

Since last one year, got many fountain pens mainly from Japanese holy trinity - Sailor, Pilot and Platinum - as I like finer line width.

Montblanc was still a dream to me, kind of distant and unobtainable… Today a dream came true!

Got my first Montblanc as 146 in Burgundy with EF nib. Yet to ink it but thinking of Diamine Oxblood.

Yes, dreams do come true!

So far I only have this one wide shot, but hoping to dive back in for more detailed pics in the future.

This pen drives me crazy it's so pretty. I'm just floored. It weighs a metric f*ck-ton, just the way I like 'em.

Anyway, I haven't inked it yet, but I'm thinking something in the red family. Maybe Modena. Hmm.

Currently loving matisse 4810/888

Received this as a gift. I know literally nothing about these pens. But I am curious to know if this is authentic. I have no paperwork or anything with it and unfortunately, the person who gave it to me also doesn’t know anything about it. Thanks in advance! If it is authentic what is it worth?

Just picked up the fountain pen and folio for my digital paper yesterday at Lennox Square!

Hey all, picked up a Montblanc Starwalker (fineliner) from Jomashop and just want a second opinion before I trust it fully. I am new to nice pens and it was a gift to me for a small career achievement. I know they are grey market and i have bought perfumes from them before for years no issue - there is a code stamped on the clip base (reads MFMRB49P3) that doesn’t show up in google searches as known fake.

Has anyone bought from Jomashop before and had good/bad luck? And does anyone recognize this code format or have tips on what a legit Starwalker serial should look like? Happy to post more close-up photos if helpful. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I recently got this Montblanc pen, but I'm not sure if it's genuine. I've looked it up, and the design is unusual, but it seems like it did exist. I'm not entirely sure, though.

Thank you for your collaboration.

Hivemind - what are some good alternatives to the Wes Anderson Schreiberling? Really enjoy the pen but the lack of a clip is a major downer as I have many notebooks with loops (and shirt pockets). It’s a real miss by Montblanc, making an ultraportable pen without a clip. Slim, small size is a must although it doesn’t have to be quite as short. Also need not to be fed cartridges. Thank you.

Hi all! I just got my first Mont Blanc vintage fountain pen from eBay. I don’t know what model the pen is, but it has a cracked cap. I’m seeking help to find what model it is so that I might find a replacement for it if I can’t repair it.

Is this real? And if so what model?

Wife wanted a sleeker version from MB. Decided to try something different. Nice sleek look

Hi everyone. Has anyone here used or has any knowledge of Montblanc 234 1/2 nibs? I bought a 234 1/2, with a medium nib. I think it's from the late 1940s. My question is this: it has a medium nib, but it looks like a stubbish, even italic-ish. Compared to a Pelikan 500nn medium nib, it goes in much finer. You can see it in the photo. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Just saw the new bottles of Mystery Black and Royal Blue. Goodbye shoe bottle, hello LE bottle.

I really like the shoe bottle, it was nice when filling my pen. But more concerning for me is how easy it will be for someone to scam a collector of LE inks now, just find an old box of Miles Davis and drop a bottle of Royal Blue in it…

I bought this new in 1994 for my late father’s 50th birthday. None of my kids are going to want a fountain pen. I have enough rollerball meisterstucks (including a Hemingway) to leave them. What’s a fair value?

It’s funny how most Agatha Christie posts I have seen on Reddit are either randomly found on the street or from the bottom of someone’s closet… Behold: my biggest Facebook Marketplace find.

It’s allegedly never been used and sat in the box for 33 years. The resin is spotless, the silver serpent has a nice patina, and the Agatha Christie signature remains unfaded.

I have come to the opportunity to buy a pen from a friend I believe the price is a bit off but what most concern me is if the pen are original. I have never seen other Montblanc before.
