Nice pen, Georges, and I like this blue-grey colour.

 

I hope it will bring you many pleasant writing hours.

 

BTW what was the other colour it was made in??

It was made from Tibaldi Havana Blue/Brown celluloid. Brilliant marbled brown and gold with veins of deep ultramarine blue. Here is one that was for sale by Vicary a while ago

Thanks for the links.

 

Also a stunner. As I am a "blue" person I like yours better...

A pen will grow on you. (or not, sometimes)

 

So now that you have it for about 3-4 weeks, how does it hold up as a writer?

Hi! The Stipula Writing Equipment Society Fountain Pen was available in five colors. The two talked about in this thread, the same cracked ice celluloid found on the LE Stipula Etruria and Iris, a darker blue celluloid, and a red/orange. I can take some pics of the collection if you are interested, as I have all five.

Yes please do, I would be interested to see what the others look like and thank you for contributing to the thread

I probably should have tried taking these pics during the day, but night is usually the best time for me! So, here are these for now. If I can get better photos later, I will. I just took pics of the three that haven't been reviewed or seen on the board as of yet:

 

First off - the WES Isola Panarea. This one is the rarest of the group - only 25 in this colorway were made. Its a very dark marine blue/black with flashes of teal.

Next, the WES Isola Stromboli. There were 40 of these issued. This one is an earthy rust-red with flashes of gold and a steely blue-green.

And last, but not least - the Isola Vulcano. The most striking of the bunch. There were 45 of these issued. You may recognize the color because it is the same celluloid that was used in the Stipula Etruria 911 LE and the Iris (both of which I also own). Even though it is not a unique to this LE, I adore this celluloid - which is probably why I have three pens in it.

 

The other two - the Isola Lipari had 40 issued and the Salina had 50 pens issued.

 

It has been several years since I have written with these pens, but remember they were absolutely fantastic writers. I always have had a soft spot in my heart for Stipula pens.

      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. 
    • A Smug Dill
      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
    • adamselene
      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
