Mont Blanc Pens

[BlackDog]

FWIW, I have had 2 Mont Blanc Meisterstuck roller balls, and would be hesitant to buy a third. Perhaps I write like an ape, perhaps it was bad luck, but I had 2 pens break where the body of the pen meets the threads to access the ink cartridge. I am suspicious of the hardened plastic they use for the bodies of their pens. At a later time I was given a Waterman pen, and while it's not as prestigious as a Mont Blanc, the body is made of brass, and I have had no issues with its durability.

Why not buy a cheap pen and put a Mont Blanc rollerball cartridge in it?

Otherwise you are paying for an expensive holder.

If you're going to buy a Mont Blanc, then get a fountain pen.

I have the Homage a Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart fountain pen, which is a quite small fountain pen, but uses ink cartridges rather than fill from a bottle.

This makes it clean and easy to use - and yes I do write prescriptions with it!
