Montblanc Meister no. 149
23/06/2022
Sistem Sheaffer Vac
28/06/2022One of the modern Conway Stewart's product, the Wordsworth series, this one being a Shingle. Visually, it's a great pen, with its marbled appearance, massive and beautiful 18k nib. The shape and feel is somehow reminding me of the great Winston.
The nib is badly damaged: following a drop on the floor, one of the tines has been bent to some 90* angle, while the other tine is just slightly bent outwards, laterally. Anyways, it almost hurts just by looking at this nib.
REPAIR COMPLETED
Not an extremely difficult repair to do, but I can honestly say 'twas not a walk in the park either. The 18k gold is a much softer nib material than a 14k, and to add a degree of "fun" to the entire procedure, this particular nib is a 2x flexible one. And we all know how stubborn a flexible nib is, when it comes to repair.
Anyways, the nib has been repaired; the nib smiles, the client is smiling too, and I share in their joy.
