I won an Ebay auction for a vintage Montblanc pen. According to the listing, it was from the 80’s. It was being shipped from Japan with an estimated delivery between the 27th and the 1st. Luck would have it that it arrived today. It looks nice, but has some scratches. The nib was scratchy though. Fortunately I recently took delivery of some mylar sheets and micro-mesh. After some work though it is relatively smooth. There is a little scratch still but think it it due more to the fine nib and the generic copy paper I was writing on.
