I love that pen, Soot! It is gorgeous. Now, here is what arrived for <me> yesterday -- in the company of its modern cousin and also my 100NNs...(and there is something non-Pelikan on its way from Herr Christof, too...how <am> I going to pay the rent next month?)

 

This 101 Tortoise came from Tom Westerich, who is <very> charming and nice to deal with; the modern red tortoise came from the ever-gracious Rick Propas and I await an Osmia from himself -- Christof, who is also absolutely wonderful to deal with! Anyone who fancies a 100 -- I know he has a lovely one for sale, right now.

Wow soot! A great way to start, endure, and complete a whole year. Fabulous pen!

Love the colour - enjoy..... :)

Wow Soot That is an outstanding pen! I have never seen anything like that on eBay!

 

Thanks, all!

 

Congrats Bob!

 

These are a league of their own.

Yes, they are! I am still searching for the two-ring version... That's a tough one! You got real lucky with that one. :-)

 

I love that pen, Soot! It is gorgeous.

 

I used to have a few tortoise 101N, but at the end I am more attracted to the 400s so I sold all my 101s.

Soot, can you tell us about this beautiful pen. Is it a 140? How is this extra-beautiful tortoise described?

Thanks, Dave

Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava Steel. It was an impulse buy on KJ Beckett website. On sale with 40% discount, £194. I tried this pen before and if it would have an ink window I would buy it a while ago. Still, a good pen for the price I paid. Very nice fine palladium nib. And material really is scratch resistant.

Hi Dave,

 

Like dnic stated above, it's a 400NN light tortoise.

Hi and, happy new year to all.

I have been looking for a Pelikan holder for ages and finally found this lapis blue bird for a reasonable price.

Unfortunately I am moving and most of my pens packed away in storage so don't have anything "Pelikan" to feed it.

Right now it is at work desk with a MB Boheme pencil in its bill, I figured at least its German.

Nice. I've mostly seen the white ones for sale (and generally for more -- a LOT more -- than I'm willing to pay.

I have a small sized gold stand, but I would happily trade it (box and all) for a small blue one.

Ruth, I bought mine at the DC show. In fact, I think I was standing at the table where I bought it when I met you.

Oh my. That tortoise of yours has me drooling. Seeing yours and the 400nn from Soot just reinforces my notion that I should continue to sock away my lunch money until I have enough to bring one of these home. Seeing yours along side the new era 101n Red Tortoise only reinforces my notion that the originals are what I really want.

I know just what you mean about vintage and modern reiterations of them -- I really fell same way; but don't worry about lunch money -- remember that Joshua said, earlier, that we don't <need> clothes or food!* He should know ;^)

 

Mind you, I still love my modern red tortoise! It isn't going anywhere.

 

PS: * Apologies: he wrote this in another thread; but you've probably seen it...

Got a wonderful 120 Merz & Krell 120 for Christmas with EF nib. I think Grandma overpaid for it but oh well. I'm also awaiting my m400 White Tortoise from Massdrop and I can't stop salivating over the m201 Bayou. Can't believe I missed out on that beauty.

Bexley Owners Club 2016 LE 12/40 Orange Ripple with a .9 Cursive Italic nib done beautifully by Linda Hamilton at Indy-Pen-Dance in Indiana.

 

Learning to use this nib has been an effort, but the results are well worth it.

      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
