Two tone nibs are available but it’s on the more expensive solitaire pens of the same ATW80 range. Pay to play lol. Elephant significance is that part of the journey was mainly done by elephant.
The blue one is the Year 1 pen, this is Year 2. There will be 4 in the end (one for each suit of cards, and why they've split up the trip in the way they did), and yes the SNR is your initials, it is not on these normally. For a Montblanc to have feedback, I'm guessing the tines have gotten out of alignment. Check it under a loupe - happily it is the easiest problem to fix, so long as you remember to use a gentle amount of pressure.
I think you are correct. MBs should have NO drag: not glassy smooth, but definitely no noticeable difficulty in drawing the nib across the paper. Best to let an expert adjust the nib; it would be very painful to ruin such a nib.
I think you have a wonderful uncle since he thought so much of you to gift you this pen. Never forget family!
Absolutely agreed.

Thanks for the info! Really learned a lot :)

Such a collection ou beautifull pens! What about a video of your top 10 most used ir best writers?
I'll need to do a few more reviews before I can do that 😅 but great suggestion nevertheless ;)
In Western markets you don't get a big box with this. I'd be really curious to see what they are giving in Japan.
Great pen. Congrats!
FYI. If you dont like the feedback, you can get the nib tuned (to how you want it).
this is 146 LeGrand, Classique is smaller
You're right, thanks for the help!
Great review
Rightly described, normal looking special edition.
nice pen
