Hi Everyone,

 

I just received my LE CS 100 in pistachio, with a nice and juicy italic broad nib - the perfect signature pen! I thought it would be interesting to see a comparison of it to both a vintage and a modern 100. I love the wide silver cap band on the latest model - I actually have a vintage one with a similar broad band but could not locate it quickly. The photo also highlights the depth of colour on the Patriot-coloured Garner 100.

 

Cheers!

MikeW

 

P.S. I should also note that I received an email a few days ago to the CS Collector's Club offering the 100 in 15 different colours. The numbers of pens available in each colour was different, with 17 available in Shingle and only 5 available in brown whirl. Here is a link with the details

is you pen using a converter or is it piston filled?

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Afaik, the pistachio 100 was only available with a cartridge/converter.

I think I have seen that pen stand in a Fahrney's catalog.

I bought it on eBay but you are right that the first place that I saw it was in Fahrneys - which still has them in stock. They are made by Tanco in pewter in two different styles - this one which is flatter and sem-circular whereas the other is taller/vertical style. I could not decide and they were a great deal so I bought both.

      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
