I only have a couple of these, MB 149s...

November 18, 11 06:19 would it be fair to equate them as the "Rolex" of fountain pens?

This one is special to me for 2 reasons:

1.  I received it as a graduation gift 24 years ago - and I haven't lost or broken it yet!!!
2.  I can't get a good photo of it, but on the rim of the clip, it is engraved W. Germany (not Germany), :-)



My love of fountain pens came from a rather ingnominious beginning.  As a high school freshman, I bought a Schaeffer fountain pen with disposable ink cartridges.  I found out that by flicking it properly - it shoots the ink out in some nice size droplets.  I got pretty good with my aim,

BR, Dan
