Although it won't come under everyone's definition of "cheap", I'm really impressed with the Pilot Prera. (that's a brand that shows up a lot in this thread). Pity it is C/C though.

 

The Camlin Trinity is certainly cheap though, but smooth, very reliable, rugged, well built, and with good ergonomics. Not exactly good looking though! I think the only two things that could damage it is a nuclear explosion or a ball point user. :lol:

Sheaffer no nonsense medium nib fountain pen I got for around 5 dollars on sale earlier this year. Great writer!

Idem for the old one made in USA.

Actually my 15 rupee bright yellow Camay is my cheapest favourite! I don't think anyone can beat that price, unless you got a pen for free!

 

That may not be much use to anyone looking for a cheap pen though, as even in India I found Camay brand almost impossible to get hold of.

Too many pens, too little time!

oh it certainly is good to be back! I've been gone for a very long time, but it's a lovely surprise to see this thread still going, very interesting to me still to see what everyone thinks :)

 

Very informative for everyone, especially those fountain pen enthusiasts who are on a tighter budget haha.

Hi,

 

It's my Lamy ABC with a Lamy A nib. It's one of my best writing pens actually.

Stolen: Aurora Optima Demonstrator Red ends Medium nib. Serial number 1216 and Aurora 98 Cartridge/Converter Black bark finish (Archivi Storici) with gold cap. Reward if found. Please contact me if you have seen these pens.

Please send vial orders and other messages to fpninkvials funny-round-mark-thing gmail strange-mark-thing com. My shop is open once again if you need help with your pen.

Will someone with the name of "Jay" who emailed me through the email system provide me an email address? There was no email address provided, so I can't write back.

My Lamy 2000, a £3.00 find at a boot sale, but if such finds aren't allowed then it's probably my Pilot Lucina

What? What? I'm dying of jealousy.

 

If these things are allowed: My 4€ Kaweco Dia 803F with a 14k nib.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
