I have a tiny flock:

to my blue marble m200 with the Binder cursive italic nib,

and my 1980's brown tortoise m400 with the Masuyama XF nib,

I have just added a red m600 Souveran with a Binderized XF nib.

 

I am very happy.

Legion of bird watchers:

 

The newest addition for me is a green Pelikan 140 with a DF nib. The pen is very clean, no serious scratches, no brassing on the clip or cap ring, and the ink view window is clear and unstained. The pen comes with a DF nib which, dare I say it, is as stiff as a ..... nail. But that's OK with me, this is the second DF nib I have and I can make them work. all things considered, this pen is a very nice example of a well cared for older pen. I'm very happy to be the new care taker. I now have all black, green stripe and solid green 140's.

 

I would add pics but I seem to have forgotten the secret handshake so instead I'll leave you with a link to my Flickr page (if I can figure that out). Anyone willing to send me a note with the secret instructions, translated to third grade level comprehensibility, I'd really appreciate it.

 

I am a little disturbed by how much pleasure this pen is giving me, does this mean I am a shallow person?

OK, perhaps I have temporarily mastered the 'insert pictures" challenge.

Hi

 

Congrats on the new pen. I really would be interested to see a picture of the friction fit nib unit. I have never heard of this on a 1956 pen. Thank you.

Dr. Codfish - nice photos! That pen is simple elegance!

The pic's are OK, but they don't do justice to this pen. Simple elegance is a good description, and the pen itself is in great condition.

I got this pelikano school pen which i believe is a type 2, not a bad writer, and i like the ink window.

 

Also i got this rappen/ibis piston filler with a broken barrel, a shame because it has a nice nib.

M100 white.

Somehow, I started collecting white pens.

Maybe it is a revolt against the "black pens."

Beautiful pen sargetalon!

 

I just bought a M400 with a 12C HEF nib...such a strange nib that I thought it would be worth a try. Are there any other brands that used 12kt gold nibs?

 

I don't know about 12C but I have a Paker 45 flighter with a 10C nib....

I've wondered about those nibs (HEF) have you gotten it yet? I would love to hear a report about how it writes and perhaps see a writing sample.

I don't have it yet...I saw a writing sample of it and it reminded me of one of Mottishaw's Architects Points...sort of like a reverse stub...though the Pelikan certainly has less variation.

This is one I'm excited about as I have been searching for one for a while...a vintage 300 from about 1955. And this one has a flex nib. I'll post a pic when it arrives.

A 400 with an OBB nib. (Sorry, I don't know why my photos are getting turned sideways and upside down.)

Beautiful pen with an extraordinary nib. Congrats!

      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
