Thier what are those marks on your Edson where the barrel meets the section?

I don't know ..... I imagine that it's made to help when unscrewing the section so that your fingers do Not slip ....

Those marks show how the inner barrel is attached to the outer barrel. Hoever, in my Edsons, they are not as visible as they are in yours.

It's almost like your pen is showing the inner barrel....

I like big pens, too. So, now I have to get one of each. Thanks for the information.

You ll probably have plenty of time to decide :lticaptd:

The Eco is my choice as well, so I'll probably have to look around for something to keep me busy while waiting...

I think the Pelikan Amethyst won't be out in another 2-3 months. I will lay low until then.

 

Ok, after 3 new pens in last 2 days - if you want to know, 3 pocket pens from the Japan big 3, one each, i really want to compare them - i hereby declare that i won't get another pen in next three months because i need to focus on my project now. When it launchs on October, maybe i will celebrate it by another pen. Don't have anything in mind yet, and try to keep it that way. Because if i have eyes on a particular pen, it will bug me night and day until i get it.

 

Don't temp me, i try my best to keep my word this time :D

 

 

Darn it, i fail myself again. But in my defense, who could resist a Pelikan M800 at €246, who?

Won't be for a while. Hoping to see how the reviews are for the TWSBI Eco and I'm waiting for the FPR Jaipur to finally be available. Might replace my lost Nemosine Singularity in the meanwhile. I have a thing for not so expensive demonstrators, I guess.

Want that Art Deco goodness now.

Just won a Waterman 52 1/2 v - sterling-clad and some sort of flexy nib.

 

The aspect of mystery is part of the allure, I'm thinking.

As second pen, your choice is just ...... Terrible, i hope you will receive it soon and will show us a picture of it. So many pen lovers would like to own one .....

 

Hmm, why would you say that? I love my Pro Gear Realo. It's a very reliable writer with classic understated elegance.

Thoughts switching between a Pelikan 400NN or a Franklin Christoph 1901......quite fancy trying a Masuyama Medium Stub but feel it may be too broad for my handwriting

 

Pros and cons welcome for either of then pens.....

Trust me, just pick one. Then you will get both of them before you know.

      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
