Review covered several new Montblanc pieces in my humble fountain pen collection. Comprises of: (i) the 149 with OBB nib, (ii) Solitaire Sterling Silver LeGrand with B nib and (iii) the George Bernard Shaw Limited Writer's Edition with B nib, one of 16,000 pens produced in 2008.

  • Very nice review. I used to have the 149 14C nib.  It was quite too big for my taste why I had to let it go.

  • @solidpnoy My first 149 from my dad (the one with the 14C nib) was the start of it all; I'm now at four 149s, with the new three sporting different nibs.

  • @bsodmike I forgot to ask on the other comment, are you a member of the fountain pen network? It's been a boon to me, I think I must be about the only person under 40 (much less under 25) to use a fountain pen for close to a thousand kilometers around, south Australia isn't a global hotspur for fine writing instruments, makes me feel a little less mad to see other peoples much more robust collections...with a collection like yours you would fit right in, it's making me itch for a montblanc, I'v

  • @phrenzy1 Yup, I've been on TFPN for over 3 years - it's a great community. See mwdesilva [dot] com for photos.

  • Great pens!

  • @jinder72 Cheers!

  • @bsodmike Why did you sell your Fitzgerald?

  • @AUSNick87 I've actually changed as a collector over time. Decided I

    want to be practical with all my pieces - it was one of the reasons I

    sold my Dickens, Shaw, and Fitzgerald. Yes, they are all WE pens. I

    might look at getting another Fitzgerald sometime in the future as it

    was by far my favourite.

  • @bsodmike wow, that's very cool. It's nice your a collector who finds a practical use for his collector's items. :)

  • @AUSNick87 it depends where I'm living at the time. When I'm at home I have my pen box which makes it far more enjoyable to maintain a larger rotation of pens. However, when I'm travelling or at work I try to limit myself to 5 FPs (on rotation) and the 100th Anniversary BP.

    There was a time when I'd rotate over 10 FPs during the week!
