Just the 5 minutes, that is....... ;)

 

Actually, hopefully more than 5 minutes. ;)

 

I've just bought an Argument pen - apparently a '30S' off Ebay for 10 Euros. I don't know why - it was a complete whim. Just liked the look of it and at 10 Euros, well, there's not an awful lot lost if it turns out to be no good.

 

Does anyone know anything about these pens? The seller described it as fully working (it's a piston filler with a steel nib) from the 60s. If I remember rightly, Mr. Goldfink had a pen of this make for sale earlier this year. I think he said it was German-made.

PS I've found the link to Mr. Goldfink's sale pen. Sadly the photos are now lost to the sands of time....

 

Mr. Goldfink's Argument - now there's a great name for a band.....!

I don't know anything about the pen either, but I would guess that it is German (or perhaps Swiss or Austrian) from the German text on the cap. "Fast-change nib" is an interesting idea. Enjoy your new Argument!

No idea yet my friend, I only 'won' it about an hour ago!

 

It's just a great name for a pen, isn't it? Like many others, at 52, I'm a lifelong Python fan. My mates and I were always getting told off for acting out sketches in class.... I still know some of them almost off by heart.

 

Anyhow, I can now definitely argue in my spare time......... ;)

 

Perhaps I'll review the pen as and when - it's about time I made my reviewing debut!

Just an idea -- sorry, no argument -- if you have the time and energy (the dough having been no problem), then you might want to remove the nib (since it says "fast nib-changer") and then compare these with the nibs shown in Richard's site on Pelikan. Maybe there is some striking resemblance?

Instead of quoting the sketch in its entirety (yer welcome!), I'll post this link to Monty Python's Argument Clinic, just cos I started reading it again and giggling.

 

Hilarious! I just love Monty Python. All of their films. Can't stop seeing them over and over again. I didn't know about that site/story.

 

Uneducated heap of ... now, what was that again?

I like the name "Argument" for a pen. I mean what could be more compelling for an attorney to have a pen called Argument. They can use it to state their case. Plus, that pen is not bad looking. Very classic and from the looks of it designed for a working life.

I may not have been much help, but I DID bump your thread up to the top.

Is it there yet?

 

 

What about now?

 

 

Now? No?

 

 

Because I can't help myself:

Man: An argument isn't just contradiction.

 

Mr Vibrating: It can be.

 

Man: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.

 

Mr Vibrating: No it isn't.

P.S. My favorite MP movie is The Life of Brian.

 

Brian: I'm not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly!

Girl: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity.

Brian: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? All right! I am the Messiah!

Followers: He is! He is the Messiah!

Brian: Now, f*** off!

[silence]

Arthur: How shall we f*** off, O Lord?

We traditionally watch "Life of Brian" on Easter here. :-)

 

My favorite is, and is likely always to be, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." There was a time not too many years ago when I could recite the entire thing from memory ...

Perhaps it's coincidence, but I just bought both of those movies on DVD, about a week ago. My lady hadn't seen them (or at least not since she was a tiny kidlet -- she's rather younger than I am), and was just whooping through both. Now I've got to find Jabberwocky (and be on the lookout for Time Bandits -- although I don't really consider that a Python film, some do, and regardless it's a great movie).

Does not always write loving messages.

Does not always foot up columns correctly.

Does not always sign big checks.

Well, strictly speaking, "Jabberwocky" wasn't a Python film either; it just featured all the Ptyhons in a Terry Gilliam film. Regardless, I'll watch anything with any of the Pythons in, in any combination. "Yellowbeard" is another favorite.

If you liked those then I'm sure you'll like Michael Palins "Ripping Yarns" too (especially Tomkinson's Schooldays). Were/are available on DVD.

I always try to watch Fawlty Towers (John Cleese) whenever it is on. :D

One of my all-time favorite comedy scenes is John Cleese as a Roman soldier correcting the Latin grammar of some graffiti on a wall. (Life of Brian?) Cracks me up uncontrollably for some reason. Probably has something to do with three miserable years of Latin in school.

I helped index the the 1940 US census

      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
