I love the Concorde, and have never had any luck finding one. I can't believe that you did, and for a steal, by the looks of it.

Wow,

D.

I guess it's not yet in your hands, Force?

 

 

Would love to see more pics when it arrives, and you can find the time...

The pen looks like a Sheaffer Prelude.

The Concorde must be one of the most gorgeous pens I know. Enjoy this beauty!

Congratulations!

 

I love my violet Concorde. It is very light pen and very very smooth writer. Hope you enjoy yours too!

Looking at the nib, it is obvious that the Carène is inspired by the Concorde.

 

Will you get any cartridges, except the one shown?

Yes, very similar.

 

Only one cartridge but enough to give it a try.

My Concord is working at the moment perfectly with a Kaweco-Converter and also Kaweco cartridges did work. So I assume every Pelikan-style cartridge should fit.

That's a nice find, Force, even if the pen itself should prove rubbish... in which case you also can promote it to dissection-project level

The silver pen arrived today which I have cleaned and is now drying. It's very good for £5 though has one small dink in the cap.

Well, you may look upon it as a dinky toy. Those can get quite valuable.

Cleaned of all old ink.

 

The silver has a couple of marks on the cap and nib but hardly noticeable.

 

The black has two long cracks in the barrel but it's nib and converter are A1.

Nice, Force...

 

I hope to run in something like that someday, myself...

      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

      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
