Kai, Thanx for the info I will have to check into that with a MontBlanc store or with FPH!!!

Skip Greenwade · 4 September 2010, 11:31 PM

Has anyone gotten theirs yet?

I have a ballpoint with my name on it en route and the dealer keeps hearing "any day now".

I had hoped to pick it up this weekend, but no luck

Best,
Skip

I contacted a Rolex AD that also sells MB and they added my name to the list for the Mark Twain BP. It will be my 4th BP in the Writers series and it appears one the nicest designs from the pictures. I plan to visit a MB boutique this weekend and hopefully see one on display.

Noonan · 8 September 2010, 10:30 PM

Does anyone have an idea of the price point for the three versions? It's a bit too flashy to be a pen I bring to work on a daily basis but I'd love to have one in my collection.

2careless · 9 September 2010, 05:50 AM

Listed price -
Set - FP, MP, BP USD2470
FP USD960
RB USD755
BP USD755
MP comes from a set and can't buy individually. The above came from FPH.

Lion · 9 September 2010, 10:06 AM

The more I look at a picture of the fountain pen...the more I want one. When are they due to hit the stores again?

Sweramic · 9 September 2010, 05:14 PM

The Mark Twain is really nice! One of the best WE's in my opinion.

theken · 13 September 2010, 06:45 AM

Just saw the MT for the first time on Saturday.
Beautiful pen but very expensive at $750.
Maybe my MB AD will cut me a deal on one.

Zed Homme · 13 September 2010, 08:53 AM

I should have read this thread before I started my own. I'm gonna call mb on Monday to place an order....

Skip Greenwade · 14 September 2010, 12:08 PM

The good news is that I got the call today and my Mark Twain is in...the bad news? I can't pick it up until Saturday

Zed Homme · 14 September 2010, 12:51 PM

Sorry skip...

Btw what is the difference between the rollerball and the ballpoint? In pics I've noticed one has a screw on cap like the fp. Which one is that?

Noonan · 15 September 2010, 12:20 AM

The rollerball uses the cap, similar to a fountain pen. Ballpoints use a twist mechanism.

theken · 18 September 2010, 05:38 AM

A local MB dealer is holding a Mark Twain BP for me to pick up on Monday.

I convinced my wife that it is the perfect gift for my 60th birthday next month since Mark Twain and I share the same initials.

2careless · 18 September 2010, 05:54 AM

Congrats Mark! I should be receiving my MT FP next week too.
Also, a happy 60th birthday!

You will not be disappointed, its a great pen...

Numismatist · 18 September 2010, 06:03 AM

I'm heading to Boston Columbus Day weekend, this one is on my radar.

Lion · 18 September 2010, 07:06 AM

I was all set to buy the Mark Twain fountain pen and then MontBlanc came out with the new John Lennon Limited Editions and I'm going to buy one of those instead!!!

Chris, when you have a chance go to MontBlanc's web site they are really beautiful and would love to buy the Limited version fountain pen but alas too much money. So I''l go for the Special Edition which retails for $920.00USD

theken · 21 September 2010, 11:08 PM

Picked up the MB Mark Twain BP yesterday that my AD ordered for me.
This one is at the top of the list of my Writers Series favorites.

Lion · 22 September 2010, 01:11 AM

Mark What a great looking pen...I would really like to buy one but I'm earmarking my limited funs for another MountBlanc fountain pen!!!

Zed Homme · 22 September 2010, 02:10 AM

Congrats Mark!

Leo, I'm checking out the mb website right now...

I love the guitar on the cap! When will they release it?

I hope this is enough to push you over the edge :-)

Lion · 22 September 2010, 07:06 AM

Kai, I do not object to the Mark Twain...if I had more ready cash I would buy one. Now I'm waiting for FPH to get in their stock of the John Lennon because they have a $90.00 dollar discount and no sales tax.....beats the boutique!!!

Zed Homme · 22 September 2010, 08:32 AM

2careless, is your name Kai? Regardless those are incredible pics!!!!!
