The Spaniard Álvaro Romillo is known by manufacturing fountain pens that seem right out of a time machine. Now, it has made a reality what many users where asking for. Handmade nibs, that behave as those of the past; truly flexible, responsive, genuinely unique. Each of them is handmade and manually engraved. The rebirth of vintage flex has been achieved by reproducing the design, alloys and manufacturing techniques of the makers of the beginning of the XXth Century.

The comments of those who were able to test it at the Madrid Pen Show say it's the real thing. Questions here: http://www.romillopens.com/

Ondina, I tried to find a "K" nib, but only saw choices on their nib selection page of EF--BBB/Stub and a "V" variable. Is it not yet available?

 

It does not show as a nib option if you select English. I can see it as a choice if I keep configuration in spanish.

 

Also, these pens are mostly $1,000 + depending on options.

It's available, while ordering, choose the nib size, personalization of angle if wished and then ask for the Plumín K instead of the regular one. The webpage may not allow yet direct orders. As they are handmade and customized for the buyer there will be question for you to answer before a final request is taken in. I suggest you mail or phone them, they have a personalized approach to their customers.

Change your language to English and see that it does not show up at the top. No matter if you choose Euro or rest of world.

Hmmm, this is far too expensive. For such prices, you can have incredible vintage pens.

It says that the flexible "K" nib is available for all models of the Essential series.

Frankly, $1000 is not cheap, but these are hand-made pens with hand-made nibs, comparisons with other brands that offer mostly bling are obvious.

Thanks a lot, Ondina :thumbup:

Oh, yes, the world is full of oversized ebonite black/red ripples in massive gold trim with guaranteed full flexible/wet noodle nibs, life time warranty. That's why any fountain pen aficionado has such a had time deciding on the personal customization of their nib, size, angle, wetness and so.

This is what every vintage pen lover has been dreaming of. Thank you Sr. Romillo for making it a reality. For those that sighted for the ideal new old stock vintage pen without any of its flaws, this is an absolute miracle. This is a day to congratulate you but all of us as well. Wonderful!

They did contact me quickly, including an essential writer, blue marbled, no clip configuration with the K nib. I would love to get one of these. Have to decide if I want to spend 835 euros ($1,150 USD). I'm sure I would treasure it.

 

The only thing I'm not comfortable with is that it appears all models use an eyedropper filling mechanism. I have had problems with hand heat expanding increasing airspace, and forcing out ink with eyedroppers.

 

Ondino, can you say some feedback about it being only an eyedropper, and how that fills, seals, could a converter be used?

It looks wonderful! And the Essential series, if you don't pick gold "extras", can be as "few" as 600€...

A pity I haven't spare 600$ now...

 

Cheapest I got was 715 € which is $945. Going to Essential Writer & blue looks great, jumps up.

And the Elite series comes with converter and cartridge filling. Not many pens around offer so many options regarding filling systems, plus a truly flexible, hand made nib.

      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
