Pen Comparison Review

[bone215]

Greetings.

This is my first attempt to share my fountain pen experience, limited as it is.

With 3 kids, college tuition, and a wife who just loves to spend, my experience has been financially limited to inexpensive pens.

I think there might be others like me (financially) so I decided to do some pen reviews of my pens that cost between $10 and $20. I tried to keep to the forum guides.

I do not have a scanner so I am using an iphone to photo, and then cropping and cutting on MS paint to reduce size of photos.

I have written each review with the pen under review so for those interested you have the joy of attempting to read my handwriting. I tried to be neat.

Because handwriting takes up more space than words that are typed, I will post, as quickly as life permits, all 22 pages.

If the mods can advise as to easier way, I would appreciate their advice.

First, I thank all those whose pen reviews I have read, who have inspired me, and who do such a better job than my handwritten scribbles.

Thank goodness for wives and tech savy children. Her printer for photos is a scanner and the kids hooked it up to the internet.

So the rest of the pen review has been scanned and created to pdf files.

Hopefully I can post them now.

Great review!

 

I have the feeling $10 - $20 FP'S are owned by many many FPN'ers. For me the hand written reviews show more of the character of the FP as well as showing it in action.

 

I'm no computer guru and would have no problem presenting the review as you have. If how this report is presented is your biggest worry in life you are laughing!

 

Look forward to further installments.

I can't load more, although the mods are working on it.

Sorry for the delay.

I have deleted my downloads because the way I did it 1 used up all of my allowable bandwidth before I was finished and 2 I finally found out that I can upload pictures to this site via upload.

I will have to re-scan the written pages as pictures and then size them so I can up load them.

This will, I hope, allow me to post the entire review.

It is about 23 pages as I recall.

 

I apologize for leaving this thread in a half fast way.
