don't know what it is but it looks pretty hideous and cheap to me. Better send it over here where it can be properly evaluated and disposed of.

 

seriously though - it's kinda cool

Hi Cam,

 

Looks like an example of Watermans 'Forum' range of pens.

Introduced around the mid 1990s, Waterman produced loads of funky colours. I believe that they retailed around from 5 pounds for the ballpoint and rollerball to about 12 pounds for the fountain pen.

Nice student pen, with excellent smooth gold plated nibs.

 

I picked up a load of these five or six years ago on closeout, and have been 'drip feeding' my kids and their friends with them ever since. Very popular amongst the teenage crowd, because they are indeed 'different'.

Hi Sarj,

 

Thank you for this info! I´ve seen these here and there, didn´t know what to make of them. They do look very nice, and seem to have the same nib that you´ll find on the Laureat and related pens.

 

Kind regards, Wim

Maja,

 

Correct. POS = Point of Sale

I guess that these models were usually placed on counter tops in the shops etc.

 

I am not sure whether this particular one would have enticed me to buy the pen :)

But then again, what do I know about advertising ?

Sarj,

I was just making a subtle reference to another acronym for POS that we hear once in a while in the pen world :lol:

 

I think the pen is cool-looking.... :)

Sorry Maja, I was just a little 'slow' to pick that one up :eureka:

      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
