I also enquired and was told the same thing - bordeaux/burgundy colour was discontinued in 2001.
Would you please let me know (PM if you like) where you can still buy these from? And would you say a rollerball or ballpoint is better for everyday use? |

I guess you misunderstood my post (granted, I'll admit my post was pretty pointless). I was merely commenting (in a joking manner) about the fact that a personal statement was made regarding the history of the pen but the sentence ended with a question mark. Kind of like me introducing myself at a party by saying, "Hello, my name is Moby33?"

![]() Currently I don't own any pens that are not made by David Oscarson. He is well known for creating very artistic, beautiful pens, out of all natural materials (in the style of Faberge, which has inspired all of his work, including the outside which is all multiple layers of brilliant glass enamel). Each of the pens are made out of solid 18kt Gold, and manufactured completely just outside of London England. He has been featured in the Robb Report 2 years in a row, which made us all proud ![]() ![]() ![]() Henrik Wigstrom (the only pen that doesn't have the name David Oscarson on it) ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/syume/3296267004/ Winter Collection, White Gold ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/syume/3...in/photostream Pierrot Pierrette (very special limited edition, out of 5) ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/syume/3...in/photostream Celestial ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/syume/3...in/photostream Valhalla ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/syume/3...in/photostream Jacques de Molay, White Gold ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/syume/3...in/photostream Tree of Life ![]() http://www.flickr.com/photos/syume/3...in/photostream |

Sorry it took a few days to respond. I popped into the store (former AD) where I bought these Bordeaux colored Montblanc pens to see if there were any more. There are. There is one rollerball and one ballpoint and several different LeGrand, all in the Bordeaux color. They even have a mechanical pencil ![]() While I was there I also found that they still have a very nice (IMO) Root Beer GMT on a jubilee bracelet. ![]() PM me for store details if you're interested.

I have a stainless steel Mont Blanc which I believe is 15 to 20 years old. It was my father's pen and have put away for safe keeping. I did take it to a Mont Blanc store but they were not familiar with the model!!! I also own a Meisterstuck and use it everyday.

I own the Meisterstuck ballpoint in bordeaux. My understanding is that although the bordeaux has been d/c'd, some stationary stores might still have inventory. (You might try Altman's, Joon's, Fountain Pen Hospital and Art Brown, all of which are based in and around Manhattan.)

The Oscarson's are nice, but bring on the vintage Montblancs.
Hemingway's and Agatha Christi's are always appreciated!

Hmm, Hemingway's are getting more and more expensive nowadays, in the vicinity of like USD2500 or so for a good mint example.
Christie... I see that one can get replica clips... be very very careful about them. I'd love to get a Hemingway or Christie or Proust, budget permitting, even a Dumas or Fitzgerald would be nice ![]() Currently waiting for a Verne and Dostoevsky BP delivery. Can't wait ![]() |

Don't have any MB's, but do enjoy my Sailor's and Conklin's. There's something timeless about writing a letter with a FP.
