It does look nicer filled, in my opinion. I just used a white crayola crayon and wiped away with the bottom of my t shirt. Cotton. :)

 

 

Thanks watch-art ,

I went home and quickly searched for a white crayon ...

 

It IS very nice after the white crayon ... :thumbup:

 

I discovered 2 things,

 

1) The STIPULA engraving lines up with the nib;

2) the cap after tightened onto the barrel , also lines up exactly along this axis - the leaf lines up with the "STIPULA' AND the nib...

Amazing !

Designed or coincidence?

 

Anyone else experience this on their Passaportos?

Mine does not write well at all out of the box.

Need to fiddle with the nib.

Mine didn't write at first after the cleaning, then I held the nib under running water for a bit, and now it writes very smoothly. That might be the one disadvantage of an eye dropper pen, in that the nib is not used to fill the pen.

This is a very small pen, and other than being in this nuthouse (happily I must add) I would not have gotten one quite this small. But posted it feels good and writes very smoothly.

I wonder if they would ever make one just a bit larger? It would still fit in a pocket nicely.

Loving the pen, thanks to all who made it happen.

the pen is the window into the writer's soul

For those who like the shorties, here's a photo of the three tiny workponies mentioned by others in this thread:

wow, it's that much smaller than the KAWECO!

Beautiful review. I can't wait...don't know how long it is going to take if you ordered all the models, but this really gets the juices of anticipation flowing.

 

White crayola. Worther white lead. Don't have either. Something else to buy in the meantime. Isn't it funny that Stipula didn't think of using something like that to give the inscription the pop. Oh wait....I know what I can use. My Herbin Silver/Gold sticks for accenting wax seals like in this example:

With the new FPN rules, now I REALLY don't know what to put in my signature.

Need to fiddle with the nib.

Flush it with some soapy water (a glass of water with two drops of dishwashing liquid) - that should do the trick. And use a simple, well flowing ink first, like Waterman BB, FB or SSB, this to help the feed soak in more easily, before tryign any other ink.

It looks great! More subtle than the white, but kind of classy like.

 

One thing I'm noticing from these photos is the different section on the newer Passaportos. Much more tapered, not much of a stop for your fingers. Is there anyone who has both that can say if the different design affects grip much?

Wassup wid that, homes? Looks like you're WANT to feel the hurt. -ethernautrix

I did not receive an extra nib. Were we all supposed to?

 

The extra nibs were available for order in the store, they didn't come with the pen unless you ordered one or more. Apparently a lot of us did :)

I have both an older Passaporto with the flared section and the FPN Passaporto, they are both comfortable in my hand. The FPN Passaporto is about a quarter inch longer overall when posted which I find more comfortable but I'm guessing that's probably completely psychological since they both rest in the same places in my grip.

Looks like a nice compact pen like the Kaweco.

Erring; for he with this rebellious rout

Fell long before; nor aught aviled him now

To have built in Heaven high towers; nor did he scape

By all his engines, but was headlong sent

With his industrious crew, to build in Hell

I tried one in a store today - it's sooooooooo TINY!

 

I saw it on many pictures before, and even the comparison foto with other mini-pens in this thread but I was really surprised to see how small it really is when I held it in my hand. :headsmack:

      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
