Helloo !!! Impressed by the interest of the foruns, I have decided to register. I collect mainly low value european brands, and more often German ones.

Hello Ray. Rusty is alright. My pens are mainly from the forties and back. Found some stoked in a drawer at home, a 1930's parker junior vacumatic, a Kaweco Dia and a Luza from the 1920's (it's a portuguese brand). That got me started. Nevertheless my interest went to meduim to low value items, maily beacuse they are cheaper, but thing get sometimes out of hand...

Rusty -

 

So ironic. I will be in Lisbon next week, and was getting ready to ask if there were any good pen shops in Lisbon. Do you know of any you would point me to?

Hello Kendall.

 

I dont have knowledge of "Topnotch" shops, specific for pens, in Lisbon. Some of the main malls have FP sections (like "El corte inglés").

There is a Montblanc shop and a Dunhill shop too.

 

Neverthe less, I recomended a visit to:

 

for vintage

 

Papelaria Progresso / Rua do Ouro, 151 - 155 in Lisbon (display with vintage items mainly american brands);

 

 

for new stuff

 

CANETAS & COMPANHIA - Piso 0. Nº Loja: 0.086 Colombo Shopping Center (near Estádio da Luz/Benfica)

 

Good Hunt!!!

Hello, rustynib. I'm new to the pen game myself and I always enjoy knowing there are others out in the world who share in this obsession.

For strange it may seem :blink: , Macau was administred by portuguese from, at least the 1600's until recent reintegration on PRofC. Portuguese I think was mandatory (!!??) but not everibody in Macau spoke it. Maybe the naturals from Macau did, but not the chinese naturals.

Do you know any good fado singers? I absolutely love that style of music. Besides Portuguese sounds better than Spanish or French in my estimation. Hey, since you brought up Macao, what's the Portuguese community over there like? Same goes for Goa.

I should ask her more about it, but i think she just had to take a class, whether it was manditory or not, i dont remember. All i know about macau is that you can gamble there, dont know much about the community. They have "portuguese" egg tarts there that were really yummi =D

Coming again to the subject Macau

 

There is a strongly anchored portuguese community in Macau, that stayed after PRC took over. Macau is a terrytory mainly compreending 3 locations/islands (macau itself, taipa and coloane) - macau is a modern city, like a small time rustic HongKong, Taipa is were Macau is spreading, and Coloane is for romantics.

The live in the city can go from quiet and homely with paradisiac holidays in the marvelous environements nearby-Thai, and other Indic or Pacific resorts or can be hell if You go into the right directions.

 

There is a Hollywod movie with Ava Gardner and the Mitchum called Macao... /:)

 

In Goa You have still a very strong portuguese cultural presence, but is more likely that You seen other europeans and americans then portuguese. There is though a strong lineage of portuguese descendents. Portugal as administrative power was taken out of Goa in the end of the fifties or beggining of the sixties, I think... With the Goa techno sound and culture lots of europeans and americans took again the path to the beaches nearby Goa .

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
