Latest haul today. MontBlanc Meisterstuck Le Petit Prince Solitaire Doue Classique :D

Detailing on the nib

and fox motif all over the cap

Been eyeing it for the last couple of weeks and finally pulled the trigger

This is interesting. Never knew that MontBlanc advise not to place the cap at the back of then pen but makes sense. Ironically I always see that being done in shop displays

Beautiful, congrats!

MB pens are weighted perfectly for writing without it being capped. I am new to pens, but so far, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of MB craftsmanship.

What a beautiful pen!

Rogdogg · 2 December 2018, 03:59 PM

Very nice pen. Congrats.
I also never post my pens. For me I've never tried a pen where I didn't feel posting the cap threw it off balance and made it top heavy.

Very nice. I picked up the ball point version... I guess it’s equivalent to a quartz submariner... I’m sorry.

The fountain pen is infinately nicer

Lovely pen - LPP does well with Richemont brands.

thank you. I love the pen and I was contemplating of getting the usual black LeGrand 146 initially. But the more the browse the display, I kept getting drawn to the LePetit Price. I may eventually get the 146 one day.

That is a beautiful pen. I have been seriously contemplating the James Dean special edition, but the Le Petit Prince is a beauty. Then again it was JD’s favorite book, so maybe both?

Beautiful pen!
Why does it make sense to not have the cap at the back of the pen? Several boutiqe personal have told me to put it there dor the balanced weight :)

Personally I wouldn't cap it as I understand the cap would mark the barrel. I guess the scratches will be more prominent on the lacquer finish.

I've seen some resin with scratches from the cap. Here's an example (not mine)
