Bexley USAF fountain pen.


The Coach

Recommended Posts

This is the pen I have been looking for for a while. I got my first FP a couple of weeks ago, a Lamy Studio, but this is the one I wanted. Does that mean I'm done with fountain pens? :hmm1: This one has the gold plated steel nib and it uses standard international cartridges or the included converter. I have a bottle of Noodlers Heart of Darkness coming for it. I like the little disc on top with the USAF logo. :thumbup:

You have chosen well, Grasshopper.

 

Nice start with the Lamy; Great second act with the Bexley!

Coach,

 

I hope this isn't the end for you! I have the Bexley USAF pen...My wife got it for me as a gift on my last promotion. I believe Bexley discontinued it because I didn't see it the last time I visited their site. Overall, I think its a great little pen, light and smooth.

Bexleys are very nice pens and the Armed Services series has a beautiful simple design. Great choice!

      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
