NEW PEN CLUB! JOIN THE DIPLOMATS!

[goodguy]

I think this thread basicaly proves we all have Wayyyy to much time on our hands :ltcapd:

[diplomat]

Did you say diplomat? I should be an honour member!

 

 

Mmmm.... what about a "real" Diplomat?

A Diplomat from the 60s, a copy of the first Pelikano actually. Interesting pen. Not a masterpiece, though...

[Deirdre]

I get to be #17!

[onefournine]

OK I'll play.

 

I wanna be #149 though or I'm taking my bat 'n' ball home.

[DJJM19951998]

#18, I think, this is to complicated for me! :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink:

[asimplemaestro]

WOW! Look at all you guys! Have to run for now but I thought I'd congratulate all the new members. I'll be on later to post an updated list of members. Also don't forget to leave any sticker, t shirt, or other ideas.

Diplomat #001

[Journaleur]

In for a penny, in for a pound. I have one Diplomat that I bought from a friend about 10 or 12 years ago. I remember when I was an undergraduate using the old style Koohinor technical pen because it resembled an MB 149 and I could afford it. Trouble is that I dropped the pen (Alas) and the nib is very slightly bent. Just enough to make it scratchy. At the same time (double misfortune) I cracked a chunk out of the cap. It is from the bottom of the cap to the gold band, and about as wide. Anyone know where I can get a replacement cap. Wanted for aesthetic reasons, not functional ones. I hope soon to get my medium nib reground into a medium/fine cursive italic, so that should take care of the nib distortion and fit my handwriting better. Very happy to among the first (whatever the number is so far) members.

 

Assign the next number in the rota to me. Unlike some, I am not into numerology.

 

PS: Since I suffer from carpal tunnel syndrome, I find the nice fat barrel of the 149 easy on the hand. (This message has not be approved by the FDA. They probably don't care anyway!)

[stevlight]

OK so no one claimed #005?

 

Steve Light

Diplomat #005

[muinteoir]

Yaaaay, Diplomat #019 here. (did I number myself correctly?)

 

 

[talkinghead]

Can I be #000??

 

Always thought that to be weird on the back of a sports jersey, that someone would have the #0 or #00....

 

So since I'm kinda weird.. :ltcapd:

 

Diplomat #000 for talkinghead

Haha...no zeros or negative numbers. #006 is open though and hereby assigned. ;-)

[PigRatAndGoat]

Hmmmm, which number do I want to be... How about #149

Two quick photos:

It is a F nib and of recent production.

Who cares what my name is, but I'm from Temagami, ON (I'm the only FP freak for miles!)

[FredRydr]

She'll give it back.

No, not quite. I gave the 149 YesWeCan to my son either two year's early for a college graduation gift or two year's late for a high school graduation gift. Doesn't matter; he deserves it either way.

i saw this thread this morning and said to myself, "Self, you have a couple of days to wait before number 149 comes around so you can snipe it."

 

Aargh...back to the drawing board.

[Ghost Plane]

My favorite numbers are already gone so I'll be whatever's next [lost count/track]. B nib here. I think that makes me 010?

[FredRydr]

To hell with assigning numbers to oneselves. The real issue is, does the club have a decent golf course?

 

Fred

[asimplemaestro]

So here's another update. OVER 20 MEMBERS!!! Some crazy numbers here but from now on let's try to keep them all one after another that way they reflect the actual number of Diplomats. Thanks for all the interest.
