Forgive me if this has been mentioned, I don't have time to read through this entire thread right now.

have you seen pens being offered by FPN member printhardcopy? He is in Singapore!

If you want a good starter fountain pen at a reasonable price, I too would suggest something like a LAMY Safari or Vista as I have one of each.

Bill [printhardcopy] used to carry a large selection of LAMY pens, mostly he specialized in Pelikans at some great prices but may still have some LAMY.

Being you're both in Singapore it may even be able to connect with Bill directly somehow, you'd have to ask him as I have no idea if he sells outside of his eBay store or here at FPN.

Anyway, here's a Link to his FPN Profile to save you some search time...

Good luck and best wishes, I hope he can help you if you haven't tried elsewhere already.

Just recalled another FPN member that's in Singapore and also sells some nice pens.

Try checking out FPN member DeScribe, not sure what if anything he's selling but being another neighbor of yours that's also worth a try.

When you go to Topics in their profiles, click on that and you should see some of their latest for sale items and contact information, again hoping this helps you out.

Time for bed, good luck on your hunt and I'm sure you'll find someone and something that's to your liking!

You beat me to it Inka. I've bought several pens from printhardcopy, here on FPN. Always the best service, quality and low prices. Wonderful seller to deal with. PM him to find out what he has in stock in your price range. I've bought Lamy's and Pelikan's from him in the past. Arrived in USA, New Mexico very quickly. +10 on what Inka said. Jim

Does mustafa still stock the Lamy pens?

 

I am thinking of getting one of those Lamy Vista and/or AL-Star.

Does anyone know if the AL Star a lot heavier?

 

Thanks.

Mustafa still stocks the Lamy's. The price for the Vista is SGD$36.00, make sure you ask for the ones which are in the pen tray under the counter. They may not have the nib size you want. (I know they stock very few Fines, Lots of Mediums and a very few Broads) Check out all 3 pen counters just in case, the 4 floor stationary department, the one on the first floor and Basement 2. BTW, the people behind the counter don't know which model is which model, so you have to point it out to them. To them, the Lamu Vista is called the Lamy Transparent. :<

Hey! Thanks for the info! Most likely getting a fine nib. Trying to improve my pen hold and also my writing. Hopefully, this helps.

Forgotten one other thing, the Vistas and Al-Stars are located in the different parts of the counter, the Al-Star is located at the bulk side and the Vista is located at the other end next to the Pelikans. Be sure to look at the full counter.

      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
