I will try to post some pictures of those pens soon. It's a pitty that MB did not offer the Big-Size models with a colored stone inserted in the clip. To me this is one of the most intersesting modern MB pens ever made.ĭoes anybody recall when this model was introduced? My guess is around 2002 but I don't know for sure.Īlso do I remember correctly that there was a Big-Size version with gold trim as well? When was it discontinued? Since most people prefere large pens I really wonder why it did not became that popular. MB really never put too much efforts in advertising this model. The Platinum Line Big-Size is still listed on MB website: If the pen is brand-new, the box will have a sticker on it with F/M/B (or something similiar - XF/EF/F/M/B etc etc), which will tell nib-width. Strangely I don't see the Big-Size model that often, nor do I find any evidence of this model in any of my printed MB catalogs. Nib-sizes for Montblanc which I think we've determined by now, you mean the WIDTH of the LINE, is shown either: A - On the box. While I still really like the Bohème, I like the original design much better (without the additional secorating ring on the gripping section).īy now I have the original small model with the retractable nib ( Noir et Noir EF), the Mid-Size model ( Vert - black with gold trim and emerald green stone F) which has a fixed nib, is slightly longer and accepts a converter as well as two of the large Big-Size models ( Platinum Line "M" and "EF") which is a large version of the small model with the retractable nib. I was lucky enough to buy one of the last Noir et Noir pens from Axel when he was still working in his MB boutique in Bremen before MB replaced the original design with the Bohème.
MONTBLANC PEN SIZES SERIES
I really liked the new series of Montblanc pens right from the beginning (1999-2000 ?) when Montblanc issued the Noir et Noir and Rouge et Noir pens which later became the Bohème series.
