I'd like to share my new blog post on this pen which I have dubbed "The Unknown Brit".

 

Please see the full post with photos and links here: Featured Pen: Featured Pen - The Unknown Brit.

 

Following is the text of the post:

 

No one seems to know what it is, I even took it to the Miami Pen Show with me and had Andreas Lambrou, author of Fountain Pens of the World look at it. He thought that it was probably British and since it came to me from an FPN member in Wales, it has thus been dubbed "The Unknown Brit."

 

This is actually a nice little pen. When I purchased it I knew that it was unnamed and that it had a broken clip, so I removed the clip, turning it into a clipless and named it.

 

The main reason I purchased it, and fairly inexpensively, is the lovely little flexible warranted nib. I'm horrible with flex but I keep on trying and this little nib is fun to play with.

 

Note - the paper is, as usual, Rhodia Bloc No. 16.

      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
