Hi I just wanted to say hi and say how great it is to have found some people who is as pen-crazy as I am.

I have recently begun to be serious about my life-long fascination of pens (started writing with pens at the age of 7), and have the feeling that this forum will be a great place to get counsel and education on all topics related to the fine art of penmanship.

But also a place where I can start my pen-collection, as I have the impression that the Marketplace on this forum is a safer place for new guys like me to buy pens instead of jumping into the shark-infested waters of Ebay

At this time my humble collection consists of a Cross Century 2, and I have Sheaffer Trimph Imperial in the mail, and a Waterman, which name I at the moment can't remember.

So I'm looking forward to sit at the feet of the Wise, and learn from their wise words that they(you) has to offer , and to start my pen-collection in the Marketplace.

Note: As I said I have just started to get serious with this and please forgive me if I make some silly inquiries in the Marketplace or other parts of the forum.

In short: Hi- I'm looking forward to my time here on this forum!

Welcome to Fountain Pen Forum, LCF!

Glad you've climbed aboard. There are truly many, MANY people here who share our fountain pen addiction . . . so never feel like you're all alone! (at least while logged-on)

You've begun your pen collecting journey with some excellent models (certainly nothing to sneeze at!), and I do wish you much enjoyment and satisfaction while using them.

Lots of great resources to be found here (understatement) -- and FPN's members are second-to-none!

Please post often!

Best Regards from Encinitas, CA.
