Hello,

after surfing this forum for quite a while as a lurker, I registered this morning. Great forum!!

Currently, I am re-discovering my passion for pens. My collection is very small, including an MB 146, an MB Rollerball, a Sheaffer (no clue which type) and a recently bought Montegrappa Micra in caramel to take along on trips.

I want to improve my handwriting as well this year (....we'll see how that works out) and I am also looking to buy another nice resin or celluid pen at the moment, probably a Delta Dolce Vita Oversize or maybe the medium version.

Again congrats on your fantastic forum and please be prepared for some beginner's questions.

Cheers from Bavaria,

Christian

Hi Christian,

Welcome to FPN!

Christian,

Welcome to FPN. I am sure you will be able to find answers to your questions here.

Start at the gallery at Pen Hero if you want help identifying your Shaeffer. http://www.penhero.com/PenGalleryMain.htm

What inks do you use? Wait a minute, you are supposed to be the one asking the questions!!

Welcome. Enjoy your stay here.

Mike

Great, thanks Mike Looks like it is a Targa with inlaid nib.

Inks? Well, depends on which pen I use - I'll have to start experimenting soon.

Cheers,

Christian

Herzliche Gruesse aus Hannover!

Bavaria is my favorite place in Germany. I've never been there, but my family came from there many years ago.
