These broad and extra broad Montblanc nibs from the era are of the highest quality, and so much fun to write with. Congrats on an awesome acquisition! Your handwriting has a lot of character with this nib. :thumbup:

Thanks, akustyk! The nib really has a "dream touch". To think i bought the pen on impulse. One of my better decisions :)

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Sorry about the shaky handwriting. That's what happens when you try to a fine motor skill task right after an exercise session! <not forgetting that my handwriting already sucks hugely too>

Welcome back! A beautiful pen, until now, unknown to me. Thank you for your continuing education in Indian pens. It's all so fascinating.

Such a beautiful pen! Congratulations. I am sure it will prove to be en enjoyable pen. And I agree that the 1930s Sheaffer nibs were ground very fine. A great writer!

 

 

Today, I am writing with a really interesting pen, a Sheaffer Balance Oversize Vac, with a striated transparent barrel. It holds nearly 3 ml of ink (using the two-stroke method). And one of the best writers I've ever used.

The composition of this picture is absolutely lovely.

Doing my part for Fountain Pen world domination, only fountain pens are available for students who forget their pens. These are the 2 newest additions to the "Borrow Box". Unlike ballpoints, my fountain pens get returned. I love the fact that the nibs are fine enough to work perfectly on copy paper and notebook paper. Both are inked with Chesterfield Emerald.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
