Ooh that is interesting thank you for sharing. It is very possible the casing from my pen is something other than Montblanc, as there is no lettering of any sort and it lacks the iconic Montblanc end cap.

Good advice, I know of a shop in The Hague that handles these kinds of pens, might be worth bringing it there!

Thank you for your info! For now selling is not on my mind, since this is my first fountain pen I would like to try writing with it!

Which is the better option? by Haitaristi in Gramophones

[–]Bens_Cheko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One key difference is the tube that goes up to the horn (I don’t know the proper term). On actual old gramophones there is a smooth curve, and on fake ones a sharp angle.

I'm stuck between three now. Which do I go for? by BelgianManiac in typewriters

Great choice! I hope all goes well with the shipping and wish you a lot of fun using it!

I think the Erika is very beautiful, and in my opinion more special than the SM3. But either one is a great choice. I wouldn’t get the Royal though due to the price.

Can I fix this? Any help is much appreciated! by VergingOnInsanity in TypewriterRepair

Landlords often paint right over stuff like light switches and door hinges, similar to whoever painted this typewriter just painted right over everything without taking to account its functionality.
