Does anyone know if Soennecken made the 111 Extra without the click mechanism? I was told the earlier ones did not have them but I wonder if when the mechanism breaks it could be misconstrued as a standard piston filler.

 

Also the Soenneckens I have owned from the 50s are brightly colored with beautiful patterns and I wonder how much less an all black 111 extra would be worth.

I believe that the Soennecken 1 Extra, an export model of the 111, was a straight piston filler......

 

I have a 420 whose click mechanism is disabled - now a pure piston filler....

 

as to value of the black? maybe less so - but the 111 extra is so uncommon that Id guess the difference between the two would be small.....

Saw some pirate wanting €1,000 for a black herringbone.

 

Sigh my Soennecken 111 Extra's money burnt a hole in my pocket after three months of looking...but for one in herringbone in color and at half that price....In I'd seen lizards going for €350.

Ended up with a Pelikan 500, 400n, a Celebry and a Pelikan pen stand.

German Ebay....not often for the lizard. But did turn down a bid on one, three months ago, in I had a Herringbone 111 Extra as grail pen. Was even picky to which two colors I'd want to bid on. Wanted the click. Wann Shoen, dann shoen....if so, big time.

 

None showed up for 3 months, I'd thought of a €500 bid.

 

Didn't go looking again, in Murfey would show me one, now the money was spent.

      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
