Waterman Opera FP

Hi everyone, I just stumbled upon this mint in box Waterman Opera FP for auction on Ebay. This is from one of my favourite sellers and the price is still reasonable so I thought I might share - I know lots of people on FPN are interested in this pen! But hurry, only 2 hours left :)

Alas, it sold... before I saw Feiye's post. These are great pens, and this one sold for a suprisingly low price.

I *looks around furtively* am actually not all that fond of these pens :embarrassed_smile: but I know that many here love the Opera. I only just stumbled on it yesterday evening with 2 hours left, kind of wish I came onto it earlier - but who knows, it may have just sent the price sky high then! :D

I have the RB version of this pen. I have had it many years; I bought it when when either Straw's or Macy's was getting rid of their stationary dept. I was only buying RB pens at that time. I am very happy with it! Someday I may splurge and get the FP.

I believe this is a carbon-fiber pen. That's what I was told, and it appears to be from the barrel design. Someone correct me if I am wrong!

      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
