I have been "eyeing" this pen for a long time. Last week, patience was rewarded. A nice example with no lever was won on the bay for the price of 4 venti cappucinos. It arrived today. It sports now a new lever (non-original but I dont care for now), and a silicone sac and the #3 Diamond Point nib is flexing its tines. It will be one of my pens during Christmas travel.

 

This is a "Long and Short" Diamond Point. 1930-35 according to the blue book. Tres cool, as the cap essentially covers the whole barrel when it is closed /:) If you have any info about other available colors etc. please share it here.

Woo! :drool:

 

By "diamond point", does it mean that it has diamond as its tipping on the nib :o ?

Kissing, back to school! Would a crystal of pure carbon survive an (futile) attempt to solder it to a metal tine? It would rather burn to CO2 ...

And glueing it to tines doesn't sound very stable.

Neat, Antonios! My friend Bruno is making me one of his "Long Short" pens, which are a homage to your Diamond Point Long and Short. I had never seen the original before today, thanks!

 

Photo of my mostly completed pen below--Bruno's version comes with a base! Mine is the ivory casein to the left--it will be a bulb filler rather than a lever filler.

Very nice.

 

I have a Diamond point kicking around, the lever may fit your pen??

 

It is a black version of the pictured pen.

Dan, Bruno's base is very smart :) In fact it was a prior discussion of his pens that put me in the path for the Long and Short.

 

Jay, the lever in your pen is probably larger. The one I put fits and works OK.

I have never seen what the "true" lever looks in the original pen.

Is it something like the round top with the DPP inscription that we see in the ringtops, or is it something like in other pens like this one that I reviewed some time ago.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
