Boheme Paso Doble in blue

Below are a few pics of a Montblanc Paso Doble (blue). I think that this is one of the most beautiful pens the company makes, and also one that you do not see very often. On a bright day you see the waves of blue down the pen, and in lower light it takes on a darker color and conceals most of it's decorative aspects. Besides, it's a good excuse to work with the camera on a lazy Sunday. All the best, RS

Nice.
I can see that BLUE takes on a different looks depending on the lighting.

Bought this one in rollerball Richard, the FP bohemes seemed too short to me (or maybe I'm a nutcase). It does write well though, like a very fine FP, and the ink is the same color as the stone! RS

Very nice indeed. I like how it changes character in different light, sort of like the cool blue in the starwarlker line.

You're right it is both beautiful and also one that is rarely seen (at least to me).

I'd really like to see the nib/barrel

I own the red version in roller ball and it's a dream to write with. Love the weight.

Robert, that is truly stunning! I've never seen that pen; it is quite unique. An amazing variation in color and line in the different light. I love the blue color. Congratulations on owning a gorgeous instrument!

The Boheme's are a shorter writing instrument. But that is how they are designed and they are VERY desirable!

Hey Richard, thanks for keeping it alive! I think there is a REAL difference in length between the FP with the retractable nib and the BP(the BP being longer). I say so because I traded one for the other, and the BP is a much better fit. Maybe one of our PIS friends can help us out on this one!! RS

Absolutely beautiful. I love the Boheme I must check them out more. It would be great having a smaller pen and I belive that is has a retractable nib, is that correct?
As Steve said. I would love to see the nib!

The FP Boheme does have a retractable nib(had one, traded it), my point was that they are still different lenghts when extended. RS
