Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter and Montblanc The Great Gatsby Fountain Pen. Xmas before Xmas.
An incredible story.
Some weeks ago, I posted a selection of pens which made me dream. I included several Montblanc,such as the Tolstoy, the Victor Hugo, the Ferrari Giallo, the Marcel Proust, the Great Gatsby, well, all desirable...
Well, outside watches, I am mad about lighters, pens and cars, mainly. Even if I try to focus on watches, I must confess that I am on a slippery slope about the above-mentioned items... Big toys for big children...
You can imagine my surprise when, a few days ago, I received a mysterious package from one of our friends here!
Inside... A...
The Great Gatsby fountain pen! One of the pens from my selection!
Incredible... I am speechless in front of such a generosity.
The weight is very good, the pen super comfortable, and the nib slides on the paper.
The blue accents are totally eye-catching. That will not be a good medication for my pen madness, I fear. 
And what a pair it makes with my 1858 Tachymeter!
This Community will never cease to amaze and surprise me.
Thank you so much, my friend, for such a great gesture.
Best,
Nicolas

Let’s see if this works — I have come close to buying one many times —
I need to try again. Stand by.
Yes, what an incredible gesture, enjoy it.
The fountain pen slope is incredibly slippery and it makes you slide into a very, very deep rabbit hole to which there is no way out. A Montblanc fountain pen is at the top of my wish list. This forum is full of very sincere and caring individuals from al...
