In the 70's, in Germany, I picked Mont Blanc and Rotring (Tintenkuli) as my everyday instruments of choice. And I still use them. They have served me well. I know there are other good (and great) pens, but being a user, not a collector, I'm happy with what I have. Therefore I have no knowledge of other pens. What do you think about Pelikan? I almost bought Pelikan stuff back then. My Leica likes my Mont Blanc stuff... Especially my new chrome M6 classic... ;-) Jim - --=====================_425317464==_.ALT Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" <html> At 11:08 PM 6/10/99 +0200, you wrote: <br> <font face="arial" size=2><blockquote type=cite cite>Dear Mr. Brick,</font><br> I'm very happy that your sensations about Mont Blanc pens are so good.
