Moore with a VERY flexible nib


goodguy

Recommended Posts

I bought a Moore BHR pen from a friend.

The pen is a small 4 1/2" long pen.It is in an excellent condition and it saw very little to no real use since it was bought.

The body feels fresh and new and the nib doesnt look like had any real use.

The model is the L-82 if you want to know but it means nothing to me since I dont really specialised in Moore pens.

The reason I bought the pen is because I wanted for atleast 1 real flexible nib pen.And BOY OH BOY did I get a FLEXIBLE nib.

This nib is Soooooo Sweeeeeeet.This is one of those nibs you sigh and feel sorry pen makers dont make any more.

I am sure with too much pressure you can bent the nib or break it.

 

First the pen itself is nothing to run home and tell your friends.Its avery simple BHR pen.I must admit I was never the huge fan of BHR pens but I do like their feeling in the hand and appreciate their light weight.

Its a "Self Filler Lever Fill".

 

Ok this pen is really all about the nib and I couldnt wait to get it back from my pen tech (he installed a new sac).

So after too quck fills I eagerly put the nib on the paper and started to write.

Ohhhh what an AMAZING feeling.Writing with a true flexible nib is such a different feeling then writing with a stiff or springy nib.

To be hones it almost feels like painting.Yes I didnt write the letters I painted them.This nib makes these line variations so easy and the whole experience is almost artistic.

There is one big problem.My hand writing is horible and not even aflexible nib will help here.In a way you could say this nib is wasted on me.

So sadly thats why I didnt give you a writing example.

 

Talking about balance with this pen is a joke,you dont even feel the pen in your hand it is that light weight.

I was also surprised to see that for a relativly small pen it holds a lot of ink.

 

Well what can I say if you still dont own a pen with a reall flexible nib you got to get one,it will make you smile everytime you write with it!!!

Hey goodguy, I wish you would post a writing sample :)

 

I have several flexible nibs but I don't yet have a wet noodle pen!

Looks like you made a good catch, that pen is crisp to say the least. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

 

And yeah, can you scan a sample for us? Pleeeeze!!!

JELL-O, IT'S WHATS FOR DINNER!

Goodguy - what luck you are in - I happened to snag one of these - but not in such good condition - really - the nib is a treat - good flex - not so much you cant write - but very nice.

Thanks for sharing

This is the epitome of a good pen: light, elegant, great writer, holds lots of ink, and made from a classic material. What else is there to be desired? :thumbup:

Lovely pen!

Thanks for the review, goodguy! It certainly is a different feeling using a pen with a flexy nib, that's for sure :)

Oh Maja what am I going to do with you ? you are always so suportive :cloud9:

Thank you for the kind word not just here but in many other threads I posted :thumbup:

Lovely pen!

The only issue I would say with the pen is its size.I have relativly big hands.I feel very comfortable with BIG pens and a 4 1/2 pen is a bit too small for me.

If my wife was into FP's this pen would be perfect for her.

Thanks, Goodguy, for the nice review and picture. Nice find--I love the looks of this pen. I too was surpised at the light weight of a Swan I picked up last year, and it writes very nicely. Not as flexy as yours, but I can definitely feel a difference from my modern pens. The BCHR pens and my two Pelikans have made me appreciate lighter weight pens. I know what you mean about the size, too, but my hands are small so it's not a big issue for me. I hope you get a lot of good use out of your pen. :thumbup:

Looks like a nice find. I have one that I found among my grandparents's stuff that's probably the same pen, but very very worn (before I knew better, I thought it was supposed to be brown!) and the nib has a broken tine, so I've never had a chance to use it. Maybe I'll find a replacement nib one of these days, though I have to look carefully at the rest of it and see if it's really worth putting another nib into.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
