Mont Blanc Pen

I'm sure this has been asked before, but which Mont Blanc pen do you love the most? I like heavy pens and am willing to spend £325 or less. I especially like the Meisterstuck.

Any pictures I would love.

Although I have a black meisterstuck with fine nib, I must say I am an avid PARKER fan. I love my Doufold Centennial pen in Lapis Lazuli

Starwalker fineliner. I already went through a refill. Or is it a "fill" since it is the original one?

Mont Blanc Meisterstuck/gold trim is the classic Mont Blanc and in my opinion the black and gold combination is the nicest looking.I have a Meisterstuck Le Grande ballpoint and a Boheme black/gold with red crystal ballpoint.

No other ballpoint pen writes like the Le Grande with broad refill and I have Parkers,Cross,Shaeffer etc etc.

Mont Blanc is the King !!!

Its also owned by Richemont which is owned by the South African Rupert family.Anton Rupert passed away in 2006.A remarkable man in every respect.A brilliant, complete human being.The son, Johann Rupert is now based in Switzerland,from where he runs Richemont.Other brands in the Richemont stable are Panerai,Cartier,Mont Blanc,van Cleef and Arpels,Dunhill etc.

The larger is a Rollerball - this is my everyday pen. The smaller is a fountain pen - I use this occasionally.

i have a meisterstuck black/plat but it has taken a few drops at work and is not writing so well, i have replaced the insert several times but it still does not improve- the white peak on the lid has a small hole from one drop, would this dry out the ink?

if so would they fix it?

I've actually stopped using my Meisterstuck for a while now because it was too light, and these days I'm using a couple of Cross Townsends instead.

Isn't the Meisterstruck (sp?) heavier than the Townsend?

Maybe I should spring for a precious metal one:

I did the "fit a mont blanc rollerball refill in a Pilot G2 case" thing.

£4.75 for the same smoooooooooth writing as a £500 pen.

Good thing too, I lost the bugger.

I got mine in Hong Kong for about $100 less than I could get it in Germany or the US.
