I see the Marlen Basilea FP is offered in two sizes; does anyone know offhand the differences between the regular and the petite? Is it just length, or is the petite smaller in girth, nib, etc.? I read that the petite like the regular size is piston filled. I can't find a picture comparing the two side-by-side. This is not the easiest pen to research on the Web, is it? Thank goodness for what info I have seen here on FPN.

Thanks!

The Basilea fountain pen, closed, it's mm. 138; open and uncapped, mm. 122; diameter mm. 14-16
The Basilea Petite fountain pen, closed, it's mm. 117; open and uncapped mm. 104; diameter mm. 12-15
Also nibs are different in size, although both 18 Kt

Much appreciated, Susanna.

The Basilea is a very nice looking pen. I've been considering one for a while.

Same here. I don't even remember where I originally saw this (online; I've never seen one in person), but it stayed in my mind. Maybe we should take the plunge! I'm pretty sure I will, but this is one I'll need to save for, having just bought another pen .
