Nathan,
Losing a Mont Blanc pen is no loss - those manufactured after 1980 or
so are pretty crappy pens, a triumph of marketing over quality,
courtesy Dunhill and then Richemont! Now if that was a Pelikan 800 or
an Omas 360 or one of the equivalent Japanese pens, I would be in
tears...
Cheers
Jayanand
