[j1020]

Another vote for the Parker 51. Timeless perfection in a writing instrument.

Pelikan M800

For practical use, Sailor 1911S, but overall, Sailor King of Pen with a King Eagle nib. That pen is amazing, and I can't help but want one after I've been blessed with the opportunity of trying it.

There have been many temporary loves and infatuations, but when it comes to an 'old shoe' pen that I pick up without even thinking, it's the Pelikan M800.

[cellmatrix]

definitely its parker 51 for me

Wahl-Eversharp Doric with adjustable nib

 

Reasons: _Semi-subjectively one the (if not The) most iconographic Art Deco pen from the Golden Age of FP`s, one of the best designs out there.

_Semi-objectively the Eversharp Adjustable nib (9 different line variations in one nib!!!) represents the pinnacle of FP-nib technology and, while over 80

yrs old, has not been surpassed till today (no one came even close; heck, no one even tried)

 

(i don`t get the P51`s & Pelikan 800???)

How many different line variations did you get out of it & why is that nib so outstanding (apart from the looks) in yr opinion?

So many to choose from.

 

I have to give a +1 to the Visconti HS.

+1

 

Bronze age to be specific...

 

 

Sorry, but the well known quality control issues and warranty complications with Viscontis EXCLUDE IMO, ALL their pens from consideration here.

 

Bruce in Ocala, Fl

 

I got mine perfect out of the box, but I have heard about some QC issues with the Dali.

Wahl-Eversharp Doric with adjustable nib with any nib in Full Size or larger

Fixed that for ya. Best.Pens.Ever. W/E were really on to something with their nibs of all kinds, not just the adjustable. All of them are just a joy to use.

 

I wouldn't have included the size qualifier but the models on the smaller end of the range get a bit uncomfortable to use for prolonged periods of writing. Although I do have a Soldier Clip Jr model that comes in at about 4 1/2" capped with a beautiful 1/2 stub signature nib on it that is my absolute favorite pen to jot down a quick note with.

Waterman Man 100, nib of second generation.

Fair enough. But then again you can still love/admire a pen from afar and consider it the best pen ever designed and produced.

 

Oh well, I covered both cases, so it's up to FP189! (his topic, his rules )

actually, I'm a she

Oops... sorry

Parker Sonnet of course.

 

Really love the design and even though some can be temperamental I think one of the most Iconic pens of the last three decades.

 

Brand wise Parker again.

Same here.

Parker Sonnet is my main pen I use every day.
