Ink Blotter | Not very useful but I love it!

I got this brand new from their website and paid full price as the second hand on eBay are not convincing. Is nice but honestly I don't need it in a daily basis like other accessories (box opener). Thoughts?

Authenticity check

Can anyone tell me if this is an authentic vintage wallet? Found it cleaning out a deceased relative's house. I can take more pictures if needed.

About new inks

Dear la familia del stylo,

We all love this brand and have been using since. However, there is no clear distinction between each of their inks. Although mountain of ink is a huge resource, even some of the inks is not there and therefore they are not compared. Exempli gratia what is the difference between Rebel James Dean Red and Queen red or the origin collection Coral? The difference between amethyst purple or bram stroker new ink ? (I can write more examples but for the sake of simplicity) I would like to see the sheen or shading or the color and diffusing on a particular paper that everybody could see and identify. Last month, I went to Appleboom and they have this amazing Rebel Red. However, I was not sure whether it is on the orange side or burgundy consequently did not buy.

Help identifying this Montblanc pen

Hi everyone,
I recently received this Montblanc pen and I’m trying to find out exactly which model it is. I’ve looked around online but haven’t been able to identify it with certainty.
I’ve attached some pictures of the pen. If anyone recognizes the model or knows more about it, I’d really appreciate your help!
And, if possible, I’d also be curious to know whether everything about it looks authentic, or if there are any details that might suggest otherwise.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Anyone using a 149 as a daily carry?

It always seems it's a display or collector item, but I have a couple and want to use them rather than look at them. Any issues with doing this?

The LeGrand that kept escaping me finally landed

After months of searching, I finally got my Meisterstück LeGrand.

For some unknown reason, this particular configuration just kept escaping me. I wanted the classic black and gold LeGrand with a Medium nib. Nothing particularly exotic, but somehow I went through months of out of stock, unavailable, and dealers unable to procure one.

I checked several authorized dealers and even tried sourcing one from outside the U.S. At one point I had a dealer overseas trying to procure one for me, but that wasn’t going anywhere either. I know Montblanc inventory comes and goes, but after a while it honestly became a little frustrating.

There were other Montblancs available, but this was one of my grail pens and I didn’t want to spend this kind of money and compromise on the configuration I actually wanted.

Finally, Dromgoole’s here in Houston had exactly what I was looking for.

It arrived yesterday, I filled it with Montblanc Royal Blue, and started testing it. The Medium nib is incredibly smooth, the LeGrand size feels perfect in my hand, and this is exactly the Montblanc writing experience I had been looking for.

After all the trouble finding one, I’m actually glad I waited for the exact pen I wanted.

The one that kept escaping me is finally home.

Looking for information about a Montblanc set (ballpoint + rollerball + mechanical pencil)

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to identify a Montblanc set that I found in my grandma's stuff, but I haven't been able to find much information about it online.

The set consists of three writing instruments:

  • one ballpoint pen
  • one rollerball pen
  • one mechanical pencil
  • all three came together in a small Montblanc pouch

I initially thought this would be an easy set to identify, but I can't seem to find a Montblanc set with this exact combination. Maybe It wasn't a set and the three were just put together after being bought ?

Any info would help me a lot !

Montblanc Heritage Baby (Black) — Disappointed by the boutique experience. Need advice!

Hi everyone,
I just received my Montblanc Heritage Baby in black. While the pen itself is gorgeous, the customer experience from the boutique was a total letdown:
Dust magnet: The black resin arrived covered in white microfibers (the boutique says it's from the new pouch, but it looks terrible out of the box).
Zero attention to detail: No protective sleeve, a lazy ribbon as "gift wrapping", and a "complimentary" box of cartridges that was already opened and half-empty (5 instead of 8!).
For a luxury purchase, this feels very sloppy.

Two quick questions:

  1. Does the static/dust on the black resin settle down over time?
  2. Should I keep the classic Black or swap it for the Coral version?
    Thanks for your feedback!

Replacement Ink - Montblanc skywalker ballpoint

I was recently gifted the skywalker ballpoint pen, it's the one where you twist the pen for it to write. Something like the following link:

https://www.montblanc.com/en-us/starwalker-precious-resin-ballpoint-pen-MB132509.html

However I'm not too fond of the writing experience with this, I'm more used to gel ink pens, this one feels a bit dry so I was wondering if it is possible to replace the refill with one more fluid? I saw Montblanc site having roller ball options though I'm not sure they fit.

and I'm open to other brand options, even if it's a refill taken from another pen if it has been tried already. Thank you.

Was given my first Montblanc for my birthday yesterday

I don’t know much about it, I think is a Montblanc Meisterstück rollerball and that’s about all I know. It was a gift from my dad (it was his) whose initials are the same as mine and are engraved on the clip. So far I love it and am fascinated to learn more about these!
