Couple of grails acquired!

[Bisquitlips]

I have been mostly grail hunting this winter and had some success!

I have wanted a Montblanc 139 for decades, but I either couldn't find a near-mint example or didn't want to shell out the $4000.00 plus to acquire one.

In February I made the acquaintance of a kind attorney who has been collecting writing instruments for the last 2 decades or more and has a lovely and much-to-be-desired collection. I was able to pick up not only a 139, but also a 138 both in thrilling condition!

I am now fortunate enough to have a Montblanc 132, 134, 138, and 139 in the collection I am curating for future generations. If you have a 136, I would be intrigued!

Enjoy the pics.

Very nice! When hunting for your 136, you'll discover that Montblanc produced that same model with a variety of clips, cap bands, nibs and more. A 136 collection could become a separate rabbit hole on its own.

Congratulations and thank you for the pictures.
A family portrait would be a good addition to this thread for ... y'know, future generations

Thank you Fred. I noticed the clips and nibs, but the bands escaped me. I need to do more research.

When I get the 136 I will surely do so.
