Greetings to you all, new member here, Jake Style from Antwerp Belgium.

I've kind of had the bug for a while but given over completely to it this year.

I had bought an F Scott Fitzgerald MB a few years ago during a wait in an airport (been there, I was sure it would fly on the card).
I then moved on to a rather nice replica Sheaffer , I think Balance oversize from a maker in the US.
Just to check it was OK I then added a genuine Sheaffer Balance in Black.
I also added a couple of MBs, Legrand and some Lamys and now I'm off and running.

No idea where it'll go. I kind of love books and think its grown out of that.

Now the proud parent of a Parker 75 cisse, a couple of vintage Duofolds (they write nice) and a couple of Heroes, (inspired by the Moleskine friendly pen Wiki). Oh and I forgot the vintage baby Sheaffer with the piston filler.

Anyway that's my story, hey everyone I'm a penaholic.

more soon

Holy!, what a collection. Welcome to the forum. You will find many pen addicts here too.

Hi, Jake - my FS Fitzgerald MB is one of my favorites to write with. I was in Belgium back in the 80's with the US Army. Love your country.

Welcome to FPN Jake.

Greetings from Poland Jake! Welcome to FPN.

Welcome to FPN, Jakey. You'll find you're in good company here. That's a nice collection you have.

Howdy and welcome.

I lived in Antwerp a few years ago (2003-2005ish). I miss quite a few things but I'm back in my native Austin (Texas).

Cheers,
Elizabeth

Hey Jake!!! Welcome tothis forum!!! Yuo will find a lot of info about all kindsofpens here, but, most importantly, youwill find a group of enablers, who will help you with your PAS ( pen and ink accisition syndrome)!!!

I've had the pleasure of flying with quite a few Belgians on exchange with my last squadron in the RAF, they were great guys! They also turned me into a big fan of moules et frites.

Welcome in...

Thanks to you all for the welcome, this pen virus has spread farther than I thought...

I have my first technical queries so off to that forum to post,
