My MB Pen Arrived! Simply Amazing....Thank-you!

OK, yesterday afternoon when I arrived home from a run to the supermarket my wife tells me there's a package on the table for me. Well, I knew in a second what it was.

Steve and everyone involved, thanks from the bottom of my heart for allowing me the opportunity to participate in this drawing. I wish I was was an Ink Head but I'm not and truly have no interest in pens, but, I will try and enjoy this pen as much as I possibly can. First thing though, I need to know is how to put ink in the damn thing!!!!

Make sure you clean the pen and empty the ink out prior to putting it in the safe for a while.

Steve, congrats on the acquiring of your MontBlanc fountain pen. Did the pen come with a converter or is it piston filled, as I am not familiar with the 149, and a bottle of ink usually only costs $12.00 to $20.00 dollars USD per bottle. Do you have a MontBlanc boutique near you as you can go into the store and they will show you how to fill the pen. You have an iconic fountain pen and hope you will begin to use it as fountain pens write very smoothly as the nib glides over the paper!!!

Steve I just checked MontBlanc's web site and your pen is piston filled. As I said you can go to any store which carries MontBlanc FPs and they will show you how to fill it!!!

Yeah Steve nice writing
I didn't know you were going to show my scribbled note, otherwise I would have taken a little more care in the writing style.
The deal was that you were to show a photo of you enjoying your pen. I can see your pen but what happened to you?

No worries, Steve ( lol-x )! We've seen your writing skills and they're not so bad either!

Congrats, I feel very passionate about MB fountain pens. Writing shows the pure essence of the person. The 149 is very well-balanced writing instrument. Enjoy!

An incredible pen! Wish I would've been able to participate!! What a prize!!

Limpiala con agua ya que su tinta esta basada en agua, antes de guardarla para que el "nib" (la punta que toca el papel) no se tape al estar sin uso.
