I would seriously love one of your Bulkfillers one day, but that day is a loooong way off yet!

 

Is there any chance there'll be a "budget" version worked out for those of us unable to stretch beyond £150 pens?

That is absolutely stunning. The celluloid is simply delicious! I agree about the lettering around the cap band, it does look a bit generic. The rest of the pen is so gorgeous that the lettering seems out of place.

 

How large is it compared to a 149?

Thanks !

The pen is effectively nearly identical in size as an MB149

looks lovely!

but 40g?! too much for my taste...

Thanks !

Please note this is a "non posting" pen, so the weight is only 30 grams when writing..

Surely possible, we could alternatively also change the letter type...

Thanks for your input !

You are most welcome, I remembered it's ink capacity today when I went through half a converter in a few hours of notes - "Me need more ca-pa-ci-ty!"

oh my. what an incredibly beautiful pen.

 

Francis, this is the first time I've had the pleasure to see your work. How much do they normally go for?

That imperio celluloid is one of my all time favourites. From the beginning I've liked the bulkfiller mechanism; however, the original pens were smaller than I prefer. The oversized bulk filler prototypes are a good size for me and I love the #8 nibs. I'll buy one if I can afford it (ideally in this celluloid... :) ).

 

#8 is never too big. :D

Hi all,

Conid just confirmed they will start making an LE edition of this pen, dedicated & marked to the " Great war Centenary 1914-2014"

Given Conid only has a small amount of the Tibaldi Imperio celluloid left, the series will be restricted to 10 pens.

Production will start in March 2014, pens are expected to become available early May 2014.

Please contact CONID directly for prices and reservation : werner @conid.be

I hope I emailed Werner fast enough too (probably did as it was few hours after Francis' post). I'm waiting to hear from him one way or the other. On the upside, if we miss the pen in Tibaldi celluloid, I'm sure they'll be available later black Delrin and other materials.

Is it possible to post a picture of the pen with a MB 149 next to it for comparison (with the cap off! since the Bulkfiller will be a non-posting pen)? I received an email re: price--- 1418 Euro.

      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
