PSA: Montblanc revised nib unit design, makes swapping nibs easier

A member in the FPGeeks Forum has made a discovery that will add a little convenience to Montblanc owners moving forward. It appears the nib unit has been redesigned to easily allow changing nibs.

Old nib unit design with the infamous pink thread sealant.

New nib unit design. Notice the gasket near the threads.

Previously, a tool was required to unscrew the nib unit and a special sealant…

Good Deal: Omas Vintage Paragon in Bronze Arco for $550 from Chatterley Luxuries!

Chatterley Luxuries is running a smoking good deal on a few of the recently released Omas Vintage Paragons. They’ve only got 4 pens, all with rhodium trim and all brand new. All the pens have 18k gold nibs with two Fine and two Broad nibs available. Unfortunately, these nibs cannot be swapped for other sizes but I’d be happy to put a custom grind on it.

The Omas Vintage Paragon retails for $995,…

I'm really enjoying the new Stresemann. It's everything I love about the M805 with a bit of subtlety and a truckload of class. The two we had in stock went quick, but you can place a pre-order for our next batch at fpgeeks.com/shop/. It seems broad nibs with custom grinds are the popular choice thus far.

On The Radar: Montblanc 2015 Patron of Art: Luciano Pavarotti We've not heard much about the 2015 Montblanc POA, but we know it will honor Luciano Pavarotti and there will be four editions: 8 (blue), 98 (red), 888 (Black/white) & 4810 (Black/white/red).

Here's one of my prized vintage pieces: a Sheaffer OS Balance with a wonderful flexxy nib! I got this from Rob Morrison, a trusted name when it comes to vintage flex.

I really enjoy the Platinum #3776 series. It's just a good pen and makes a great starting point for custom nib work, like this 0.4mm cursive italic.

GoPens’ Quarterly Illustrated Vintage Pen Catalog #74 is now open to the public!

It’s that time again, time to ogle some of the most pristine and rare vintage pens you’ll ever find.

Featured in this issue of the Quarterly Illustrated Vintage Pen Catalog are about 130 fully restored pens and pencils including Parker Vacumatic, Waterman hard rubber, vintage Montblanc and Italian pens.

This is my favorite tray of this catalog. The core of my vintage collection is Parker Vacs…

I decided to add a little flair to my Lamy Dialog 3 by grinding the fine nib to an architect point. If you'd like a similar service performed on any of your pens, please visit fpgeeks.com/nib-services/

The Pelikan M805 Stresemann has landed!

The new Pelikan M805 Stresemann is just starting to become available from retailers around the world and it’s finally arrived in the US.

I find the Stresemann to be an exciting new addition to the Souverän series for a few reasons:

It features rhodium trim, which is my favorite!

The nib is entirely rhodium plated instead of the two tone rhodium and gold nibs that are traditionally used, even on…

The first broad nib M805 Stresemann out the door received a little cursive italic treatment. The medium nib would make a great candidate for the same service or perhaps even an architect grind. Either way, it's a great writer!

They're here! The Pelikan M805 Stresemann is finally here! The broad nib is spoken for but the medium is up for grabs. Check out fpgeeks.com/shop/ for more details!

Visconti makes some beautiful pens, like this Skeleton I spotted at Bittner's table while at the #lapenshow.

This oversize Parker Vacumatic has been out of commission for far too long. Since I was repairing some pens today I decided to throw this one in and bring 'er back to life. It's a shame to keep a nib like that from laying down such wonderful lines! #whenparkerwasgreat

Man, that #CopperOrange looks good in natural light! @lamy_official pretty much nailed the ink color too. If you don't have one yet, visit @fontoplumo posthaste!

Chatterley Luxuries had quite an array of Danitrio #fountainpens at the #lapenshow. This isn't even all of them. Check out my Saturday show report at fpgeeks.com for more images of the pens Bryant brought.

Direct from my friends at @fontoplumo, the CopperOrange @lamyusapens AL-Star! I'm super impressed with this color. Well done, Lamy!
