An old and a new Waterman's

 

The old - an oversize 100 year pen with semi flex '18' nib.

 

The new - a Diamond Black Edson with fine nib.

 

the Edson will be my first modern Waterman's since I acquired a Man 100 with a medium nib in about 1997.It is still one of my favourites

 

I can't wait to try the Edson.

Mai pens---I haz dems! :thumbup:

 

Want to see?

 

 

These are some kawaii things from Jetpens, mostly different colored Pilot Petits and a couple of Preppy pens with cool Japanese writing on them, about five characters of which I can read:

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v474/ProfessorBunky/Misc/7Pens-small.jpg

 

And I found this at the first garage sale of the season. The pen has no cap (no wonder the instructions warn you the cart will dry out) but the carts seem to be standard internationals in good shape:

My other pen is a Montblanc.

........and a Burgundy Sailor 1911 with Zoom nib (also from a FPNer)...can't wait to play with that :)

 

rogerb - I hope you get that soon, it sounds great

 

Well, it arrived today, along with my Bexley 10th Anniversary Lime with broad stub.

 

The Sailor is a bit of a disappointment....I cannot get it to write any way much different from Broad....very smooth and a pretty nib...just Broad! Changing writing angles is fiddly and not, apparently, very effective.

well, I didn't have a Broad nibbed pen!!(apart from the stubs).

A very nicely-finished pen.

 

The Bexley is a nice handful, but looks a bit cheap, IMO, the shiny silvery trim especially...apart from that lovely big, wet Bexley stub nib.

That takes a bit of getting used-to, because it is wide, and also surprisingly flexible.

It's now loaded with Diamine Monaco Red, the exact colour of the red-brown swirls in the green resin :)

 

Two down, three to go!(Delta DVOS, Delta Alfa Giulietta, Black Parker Duofold Intl.)

I'm new to this great site. I've always had a pen and pencil fetish being an artist, but I never realized that so many had the same addiction hehe. Thanks to wealth of information available on this site, I've bought my first two fountain pens and awaiting shipment. First one is an EF black Parker 51 Aerometric and the second is a brand new fine nibbed Namiki Sterling Dragon. No more doc signing with freebie pens from title companies heh.

I'm waiting for Mr. Binder to work his magic on a Sheaffer Triumph (military clip I think). Just put it in the mail today, so I should get it back in about 4.5 months.

 

Weee!

      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
