Ca. 1920s button-filler. Very very nice fountain pen. Writes a fine. Replaced the ink sac and polished it up some. Purchased it today at the 2010 Melbourne Pen Show.

I love sterling silver. It is far more alive and has a depth, warmth and character missing from rhodium or palladium.

Thanks for reawakening this thread, Jar. Beauties!! I agree with your sentiments about silver pens. I have none, alas, but hope to some day.

Here are most of my Sterling Silver pens. There are a few more duplicates that I didn't show, and the Sonnet has been sold. Several of the Targas have matching ballpoints and/or pencils, and I just found a matching pencil for the Imperial.

And here is a Sterling Silver set that does not include a fountain pen. There was not an FP made for this series.

I bought this one because the Lalex insignia looks like the scales of Justice and I'm working in the legal profession. It is my main work pen at the moment.

Bit of thread resurrection here! :embarrassed_smile:

 

Have found myself strangely drawn to sterling silver pens particularly legacy's - strange because most of my pens are black !

 

I have a sterling silver pen on the way and will post some pics when it arrives.......in the meantime anyone have any further photos to post on this thread?

I recently bought a Sailor 1911 in all sterling, including the section. It's FANTASTIC. I have yet to put pictures up, as I'm planning to put it through its paces before writing a review, but here is a picture of it snagged from the Sailor's website.

I have quite a few Sterling Silver Fountain Pens, but I think this is the only one that I have a pic of. This is my Yard-O-Led Viceroy Grand Lined that I purchased last week from a dear friend; http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff451/ChiTown51/YOLandPortofinoFountainPens001.jpg

I used to avoid silver pens as I wasn't very enthusiastic about them losing their shiny appearance.

This is my first sterling silver pen and I’m still trying to overcome my OCD and enjoy the patina it formed as it is.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
