Montblanc 1266 sterling silver pen

I am trying to build a small collection of vintage Montblanc fountain pen. have just found a MONTBLANC 1266 ー Sterling silver 925刻印 18K 750 nib fountain pen  万年筆. 

In the 1970s, Montblanc's four-digit model number was reserved for all-metal models. This shaft is a model called 1266 in sterling silver. By the way, there is also a model called 126 where only the cap is sterling silver. It seems that it was listed as Meisterstuck in the catalog, but unlike the 1960s model, there is no MEISTERSTUCK stamp on the body.  

There is a metal fitting inside the cap that functions when the cap is posted, and perhaps because of the slanted design, the stability when the cap is posted is outstanding. There are four 925 stamps in total. The nib appears to be rhodium-plated in 18-karat gold. I think it's relatively soft.

The pen is in need of a thorough cleaning…

Parker Giant Fountian pen (August 2023)

This is another Parker Giant fountain pen. It is different from my others Parker Giants as it does not come with the pocket clip. I presume this may be an earlier version.  I saw this pen in Ebay but I didn't win the first time as someone has placed a higher bid than I. Later I receive an email offering me a second chance offer. I didn't respond to the second time offer immediately as I was not sure if its real from Ebay. By the time I responded, the second chance offer is gone as the seller has decided to relist the pen owing to nonpaying buyer.  With the relisting, I have placed my bid again. Upon checking a few days ago, I was outbid again. In order to see if I can win it, I placed my maximum amount and decided to leave it as it is. This morning, I am happy to know that I have won the auction at a much lower price than my previous. I am trying to build my collection of Giant pens (Parker Giants, Waterman 58, and I am searching for a Waterman 20) and this piece will fit in ni

My first fountain pen - Parker 45 from my dad

This is truly my first "branded" fountain pen. It belongs to my father and I actually damaged his pen when I was young and I kept the pen in a drawer for many years. One day when my house was doing some painting or renovation work, we started to shift some furniture and the pen appeared again. By that time, I was studying at the National University of Singapore. When walking around Parkway Parade shopping mall with Chee Hoon, I saw a pen shop named Lin Kong and decided to ask if the pen can be repaired. To my wonderful surprise, the pen could be repaired with a brand new nib and the pen could once again be used again. This discovery and the term life time guarantee started my hobby of vintage fountain pen collection. During weekend, we would visit the various pawn shops, old stationary shops, flee markets, garage sales etc to search for vintage and old pens that have left in the shelf and drawer. Remembering that in the 1980s fountain pens were not a popular instrumen
