Which Bexley is my favorite...hmmm

 

 

...whichever one is inked up!

 

I have about two dozen Bexley pens in my collection right now - nothing near the fabulous gregamckinney collection - but I love 'em all. For the past six months or so I seem to have about four or five inked on the desk all the time.

Wow! Old thread. Let me try to bring it alive again, since I just stumbled across it in a Google search. My all time favorite Bexley -- and all time favorite pen is my Bexley BX701. It is sized and shaped for writing!

I'm glad this thread has been revived, because I just got my first Bexley today and I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me something about it. The seller was not able to determine whether it was a production model or some kind of prototype. Some of the photos in this thread have the same general shape, and the same nib and clip, but I didn't see any with a cap band like that. It is 135 mm long capped. In any case, in the spirit of the thread, this is my favorite (and only) Bexley.

Hi Pail. It looks like a Sheherazade from maybe 10 years ago. It is not one of the production colors. It could be a prototype or one made after from remaining parts. Without paperwork it is hard to know. The model was one of the few piston fillers and maybe the first regular production piston filler from Bexley.

The model came out in 2004 and was available in tortoise or smoke grey for regular production. Give your had a gold nib it was probably a prototype as they stopped using gold nibs a few years after due to the spike in gold prices.

      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
