My Montblanc Writers edition pens

Mark asked to start a thread on our WE family pens.
Have to oblige, even though I don't collect each and every one of them.
My principle of collecting is to have pens I like that I can use at work.



Top to bottom - 1993 Imperial Dragon, 2000 Friedrich Schiller, 2003 Jules Verne, 1994 Oscar Wilde, 2009 Thomas Mann, 1996 Alexandre Dumas.


Left to right - 1997 Dostoevsky, 2010 Mark Twain, 1999 Marcel Proust, 1993 Agatha Christie.

Note that in 1993 they released 2 WE's. Originally they had Agatha Christie but realised that it didn't sell in Asian market because of perception that snakes represent evil, they released the Imperial Dragon specially for Asian markets.

Thanks Mark. The most frequently used is the Proust - this pen is just beautiful. I also use the Schiller quite frequently, but I like the Verne best, just that the nib is a medium in my example and I am struggling whether I should send it to a nibmeister for a stubbed italic regrind or not.
