What was your first oversize pen ?

[goodguy]

Mine was my MB 149.

 

I didnt really know what is an oversize pen all I knew this pen is my dream and once I got it I learned there is among pen fans a category called an Ovedrsize pens.

Since then I fell in love with big pens and I am just sorry that they cost so much.

Pelikan M1000

Danitrio Densho (raw ebonite). About as large as I want to get (without lookin' like I have a bat in my hand... ). Great(!) pen but I typically clip a pen to my shirt pocket. Too large for most shirts.

An Iridium Point Germany MontBlanc fake

 

I prefer smaller pens

My first oversize pen was my first pen purchased when I started collecting (coming up on 10 years ago,) a Pelikan 800 in green-striped and a F nib. Still consider the early (W. Germany) M800's the very best modern pen made.

Best regards, greg

My first OS pen was a Sheaffer PFM IV.

 

I have never written with it as it is mint/uninked so I purchased a PFM III.

Sheaffer Balance OS. Great pen.

Is the Sheaffer PFM consider OS ?

 

I am dieing to get a Sheaffer Ballance OS.Its just that they are Sooooo expensive.

[jaytaylor]

The PFM is a fat pen....hence Pen For Men.

 

About the same barrel diameter as a Sheaffer Balance OS.

Dani Trio Mikado in raw ebonite, use it daily.

Hi jaytaylor

 

I know the PFM is a fat pen and not a samll one but calling it OS I think is a little pushing it.

 

Dont get me wrong I own PFM and love these pens its just not an oversize pen in my eyes.

[jaytaylor]

Anything as chunky as a PFM is oversize IMHO - put it next to an inlay nib imperial.

 

 

 

 

Edited to add IMHO.....

Depends on what you mean by "oversized". I would guess it would be my MB 149.
