My real list (of pens I can actually afford to buy sometime soon):

 

Faber-Castell School Pen - I'm curious about "A"-nibs and I like the quirky looks of this one

Lamy Safari (+ matching pencil) - I've never had one and it seems like the one inexpensive pen everyone says you should try

Parker Frontier - I like my inexpensive Parkers and there's some great deals on NOS with these

 

 

My "if my Fairy Godmother paid off my mortgage tomorrow and put a couple of grand in my pocket" list:

 

Graf von Faber-Castell Classic (Anello Ebony) - I just LOVE my steel nib F-C pen, so I would have to get one with a gold nib!

Pelikan M600

Visconti Homo-Sapiens

Yard o Led Corinthian (or Viceroy... or both)

 

That stealth e-motion isn't far off making the second list, either - great looking pen, and I love F-C nibs. +1 on Cult Pens too, if you can't find it closer to home - great service and very helpful if you inquire about anything.

Lots I'd like to try out of pure curiosity (and this thread has added half a dozen more!), but the only one definitely on the wish list is the Edison Collier Persimmon Swirl. Oh, and the new FPR one when it comes out - that wish is the one more likely to be realised.

 

Cheers, Al

My Edison Collier Persimmon Swirl arrived recently and I'm loving it so much that I don't desire any other pens at the moment. Hope it's not too long before you can get yours - it's a great pen.

Whatever is true,whatever is noble,whatever is right,whatever is pure,whatever is lovely,whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

A Parker Duofold Junior. As much as I'd like a Pelikan M400, there's no chance that a college student could get that much money. Now, a Duofold Junior? Not out of the question with some luck. That and the fact full-size pens like the M800 and above physically start dwarfing my hand.

Calculating.

Lamy Safari and Parker Frontier, both great pens.... you must get them !! :)

 

Thanks for the heads up on cult pens... will check that out but, I think if I'm patient I will be able to get it in Bombay soon enough... fingers crossed!

I will have to say purchase list: omas 360 burkina and omas paragon extra lucens

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Hema, have you seen Stephen Brown's new review of the stealth e-motion on youtube?

 

If you haven't seen it here's the link:

 

Actually, if you haven't, it's probably better you don't start watching his videos - that man is one of the reasons why my real wishlist is actually about 100 pens long! ;)

 

EDIT: Hmm, how come when I try to link to the webpage it instead embeds the video here?

Oooooh, dreaming time...

- Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze (big one, already have the Midi)

- Omas Paragon Bronze arco (and possibly the green arco?)

- Nakaya desk pen in Aka tamenuri including the desk stand

 

And in the long run,

- Nakays somthing an Ao-tame (long writer, or a long piccolo)

- Nakaya Blue Dragon, on the portable or long (but its quite expensive)

 

I went on a serious FP shopping spree in 2012 and part of 2013, had to pull myself togeter around march this year. But now I'm getting ready again. Think I start with the Desk Pen...

Favorite of the day: Nakaya Naka-ai Heki tame.

That e-motion has a nice balance uncapped and it`s comfortable to hold(it`s a short, heavy pen), but i really wasn`t impressed by the nib(plain looking, plain performance). And in black? can`t imagine a woman using it.

 

What`s on my wishlist? some Diamine hope pink ink. Now that`s manly ! :lol: :cloud9:

Everything. Right now #1 on my list is a P51. I had one that I won off ebay when I had juuusttt started getting into FPs last summer but I didn't really know what I was looking for, and when it came, it was terrible. It was also not a "real" 51, but a 51 Special. Unfortunately I'm at a point in my financial life right now that I really just can't afford to spend more than $30 on a pen, so I'm gonna have to keep dreamin'.

Hi There,

My wish list at the moment is to find a clip (gold) and tassie for a Parker Major Vacumatic Golden Pearl as I have had the pen given to me in beautiful condition but with the clip and end missing - how does that happen?

For a pen it would be a French S.T Dupont Porte Plume - good luck with that one then!

      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
