This one is an oldie (1950-ish) but, besides looking gorgeous, still writes OK.

 

A summary of the other fact sheets:

 

CONID Bulk Filler Demonstrator

Montegrappa Miya Blue

Parker Duofold Centennial Citrine

OMAS Milord

 

More to come. Thanks for reading and comments. - JG

Can I ask, what are the dimensions?

I have a 6233, and was wondering on the dimensional differences, having never actually felt one of these even though I've been tempted on many occasions.

 

Looks like a beautiful pen though.

 

Regards,

 

Richard.

Yes, very welcome. I forgot the pen posted dimension in the fact sheet, it's 165 mm. Other dimensions: closed 127 mm, without cap: 124 mm, diameter barrel 11,2 mm and diameter cap: 12,8 mm, weight is 14 grs. with a few drops of ink in it.

 

Thanks for reading - Jos

Lovely pen! Interestingly, I have two 5601s and both seem to have a longer section than yours.

 

Hello, very welcome. The section is 19,3 mm and the nib is 20 mm. Does that fit? - JG

I'm contemplating buying a 5601 and have seen both section lengths in the photographs on the net, both in black and marbled pens. I.e., some of the black ones have this long section, the marbled--celluloid pens all have the shorter one.

I can not speak for the 5601 because I have only one, black with long section. However, I have two of the very similar 6234 model in rose marbling. One has the short section and the other long (with corresponding caps). Nibs (No 5) and bodies are the same.

      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
