My, this thread is active! I already posted these in another thread on another forum, but I suppose it cannot hurt to post them here as well. The only modern pen for the week (the ratio is 1 modern: 2 vintage per week): an M200 2012 Demonstrator Edition.

Kyouju,

that is beautiful writing.

What nib do you have? Is it a standard Pelikan or have you had it modified?

Thank you so much. And that is not actually the nib that is supposed to go with the model. The original nib was a gold-plated steel one; I replaced that with an M400 585 nib ground to a 0.9CI.

sandra_w, I love the typewriter. The typeface is so orderly. And, tell me about that Pel. I have a rollerball Pel that looks just the same as yours - kind of holographic (if that's the word).

 

A word on the flex-nib dip pen I mentioned. It's called a Romanov Silver Stylus by Au Musee' - is this a no-name brand or has someone heard of it? I have zero experience with 'real' flex nibs (besides a Konrad), and this little stylus can do some damage in the hands of an experienced practitioner of course. But it's making me curious. Uncle Red, did you use the term 'gateway drug'?

Whilst that Vacumatic is indeed stunning, I have to admit I'm more a fan of the personalised stationery. Excellent choice Rev'd Wright. :thumbup: Oh and greetings from the Diocese of Sydney also!

Right back at you! I love you guys in Sydney! While the rest of the communion totters, you all carry on. We're very grateful for you. :)

@Uncle Red: Surprising how much give that nib has. Do you not feel a little nervous flexing it?

 

@dcpritch: Heavens, but that Diamine Grape is handsome. Is that a bit of sheen I see in the second photo?

 

And for this week, something I picked up last night on a whim: a Sailor Fude de Mannen. Lovely, quirky, wonderfully inexpensive little pen.

@Vignette: Er... is it really the feed that is the issue or is not the nib shifted off-centre? I cannot be certain, but that is what it appears to be in the photo.

      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
