Montblanc Writing Sample - Fine Nib?????

Is it possible that the Montblanc that I recently purchased with a fine nib
actually has a "Fine" sized nib?

What to you think?

Looks finer than my medium (which is pretty broad) so, maybe yes!

It looks more like a medium to me but I'm not familiar with Montblanc nib
sizes.
Perhaps if you flush it out and try a different ink it might feed slower.
Inks can make a big difference. If that doesn't correct or change the size
I'd return it for a EF nib.
My Pelikan fine also seems finer that your's and makes me think ink. It
could also be the paper.

The address is bogus so remove the excess.

Quite right. Example: In my user Parker 51 aero, Noodler's black writes what
I would describe as a fine line but it trends toward a distinct medium when
loaded with Swisher's North Sea Blue which is also manufactured by
Noodler's. The absorbency of the paper will also make a great deal of
difference.

I have several Pelikans and their fine nibs are more akin to what a North
American would describe as a medium. I think this is true of many German
made pens. The suggestion of moving to an EF nib to obtain the line you
desire is a good one.

I could be wrong, but it seems to me that I've heard that the Pelikans
are finer than many of the other pens. As said could be wrong thou. I
had a med MB 145 and if this was indeed a M you would know for sure. I
sent it back to MB and had them change the nib for a fine. Looking at
the sample, hard to really tell for sure, but looks to be a fine. Like
some of the others have written thou different inks can also make a
difference as well. Some nibs being more sensitive to this sort of
thing than others. My .02 worth, no more and very possibly less.

All,

Thank you very much for the advice. I have a local collector friend who
tested the pen this afternoon. He too agrees that it is almost definitly a
"fine" nib. What I have noticed is that the Montblanc nib is much more
flexible than I am used to (my everday pen has been a Pelikan M200 - fine).
I notice that when I make a concious effort to reduce pressure on the nib, I
am able to prodice a much finer line. I would not have arrived at that
conclusion on my own though. So thank you to everyone for your comments and
advice.

Cliff
