Brown Pens Suggestions Please

[Ecriveur]

I'd love to grab one of those Visconti Van Gogh Pollard Willows (I already have 3 of the other Van Goghs) but sadly, it's a limited edition and they're all gone now. So it's look for a new one or live without it.

ArchiMark, your collection is simply amazing!

I'd be happy to have 3 or 4 of those (the only one I have is the Elemento). They are all stunning, but I'm particularly struck by the Churchill's, both the original and the Scriptorium version, and the Decoband. Trouble is, after seeing these pictures I found a mint Churchill... Gotta start saving .

 

Thank you for your kind words.......

 

FWIW, all the pens except for one have been obtained since about June 2009....so, has grown over time.....

 

Love the feel of the Churchill shape in my hand....just feels very comfortable and natural fit.......

 

The Elemento and Decobands are great pens too....

 

Good luck getting a Churchill!

 

Keep saving your pennies and nickels.....

The brown Room in Arles has been and gone, but the Pollard Willows is still available.

 

There's also a limited run "125th anniversary" model with rose gold trim and bronze nib that's available from a few retailers. This LE has ALL of the Van Gogh color combinations, including those yet to be released as a regular edition. IMO the brownish colors of the Pollard Willows and Room in Arles look even better in the LE than they did in the original color scheme.

About the Visconti Van Gogh / Music Hall / Salvador Dali:

 

They all look gorgeous, and fit right in my price range (max 250 euros) so I consider them

But the only drawback I have is the nib;

 

It's 'just' a steel nib. Anyone has experience with them?

Are they smooth?

Just fyi, the Visconti Van Gogh and the Visconti Music Hall are also available with the 'dreamtouch paladium nib'.

Oh, and I forgot: the original Grand Place from Pelikan. The most beautiful brown pen...(the 2nd from below)

Amwesome pens! Keep the good suggestions coming friends

If you don't mind a mix of colours, the Pelikan La Crème is a beautiful pen. It's one of the few that I bought purely

because of it's looks. The Delta Fusion 82 in brown is a beauty, too.

I just bought a Conklin Sleeve Filler in the limited edition Brown that I'm very excited for from ebay. #30 of 98! The seller listed another one today though, the #1!! Unfortunately/fortunately, my pen shipped today also so it saves me being picky and asking the seller to switch mine out for the #1. Sure would be cool though.

Italix Parson's Essential comes in Amber.

 

Faber Castell's ambition comes with a range of wooden finishes.

 

The Diplomat Excellence A in the Marrakesh finish is a nice writer.
