What a gorgeous writing instrument!!! :notworthy1: :puddle: :puddle: :puddle:

 

Does it write as nicely as it looks??

So, what's your point?

(Mine is a flexible F.)

Nice - I think the red jewel is a bit over the top, but nonetheless: a really nice pen!

Congratulations!

Greetings,

Michael

Beautiful.

Could you show us how it writes, please?

 

Judging from the photos of the nib, not well. Tines badly bent and nib itself cracked near in half.

The currently nib is perfect in overall, used but with iridium tip well used. I have not uploaded writing test because you can get nowadays the quality of writing that you want for this particular fountain pen. Let see:

 

Font Pelayo in the 20s and 30s mounted "Warranted 14k" nibs, many of which were manufactured in Spain by Don Damiá Onsés, nibmaster established since 1933.

 

His son, Damiá Onsés Jr, octogenarian today, followed the tradition of his father and even today, to the delight and pleasure of the Spanish fountain pen users or collectors, still retipping nibs.

 

That is why today you can to mount in this fpen the same nib "Warranted 14 k", 80 years ago... and with thickness and flexibility you want for just aprox $70 (or only $35 if one existing Warranted 14K nib like you and do not need retipping)

      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
