Beautiful pen! Enjoy!

"Here was a man who had said, with his wan smile, that once he realized that he would never be a protagonist, he decided to become, instead, an intelligent spectator, for there was no point in writing without serious motivation." - Casaubon referring to Belbo, Foucault's Pendulum.

I picked one up a couple of months back, and it is now my favourite writer, more so than my 146s and 149s, I love it. Mine has a little dint in the cap, but I'd be happy if that was all I was suffering from after 60 years! You have a lovely example there. Well done :thumbup:

Fine pen in nice condition and good pics too, now you need the 256.

Per.

 

+1 for the above. I received a 256 recently and am impressed w/it - if you like the 254, you'll like the 256 more!

Hello everyone,

 

And thank you very much for all the nice comments.

The pen really looks brand new. Still had it checked, and it was confirmed to me, that there are no cracks or hairlines on the cap, so I feel a bit relieved. The MB 252 I had a couple of years ago was not in this mint condition because of the common cap issue.

I love the look of those winged nibs. I'm going to have to get one soon.

This is one model I really suggest not posting and very careful recapping. But I can attest that it is possible with a great deal of care and LUCK to have one with no cracks.

 

Hope I did not just jinx myself!

Hello,

 

Fortunately, I was very lucky and there are no cracks or hairlines on the cap. As mentioned before, the MB 252 I had a couple of years ago had this common “cap issue”. I will just have this FP "sitting" in my collection, and I will not risk the damage ...

 

I am a LAMY fan anyway :-)

 

THANK YOU.

      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
