I received a letter a few years ago from a friend in Germany which I found recently as I was sorting through old papers. It was written with a fountain pen on some wonderful paper with a Gohrsmühle watermark.

I'd love to get some of this paper. Is it available in the US, or can it be obtained online. My German isn't good enough to attempt to order it from Germany. And the Euro is outpacing the dollar currently...

 

The more I look at the watermarks in the link above, the more I'm interested in paper with wonderful watermarks. Do you have some recommendations and sources?

 

Thanks,

Jared

Hello Jared,

 

I am from Germany. I know the Gohrsmühle paper very well. Maybe I have some in my desk. When you send me a PM with your adress, I could send you a sheet of paper so you can compare it with the old one. I think Gohrsmühle still has the watermark, but smaller. Even in Germany the paper Qualities have changed (the making is more industrial today) and I don't want you to be disappointed: maybe the paperquality is not still available...

I will take a :thumbup: look for you.

 

Best regards,

Anna

I'm not a native speaker of the english language. My apologies in advance when I'm causing trouble by bad grammar, wrong vocabulary, misspelling - friendly correction always welcome!

Zanders Gohrsmühle is my favorite paper for writing letters. I think it is one of the best papers for fountain pens.

The "Galgo" firm from Spain makes an exceptional FP friendly high quality paper, both on parchemin, gofrado and "verjurado" quality, with the disctinc watermark of a running hound dog and a great variety of colors, as well as stationery. Not cheap stuff, but once you've tried it.....

The manufacturer is UNIPAPEL http://www.unipapel.es/.

 

The company offers custom made watermaks for large orders -companies, hospitals, etc.- And their web is also in English.

In Spain is widely distributed, but I have never seen it outside here.

 

Also PApelera Española, Faisán and Guarro, have their watermarks on their ordinary paper. All of them are quite good, but I've always found Guarro and Galgo the best.

      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
