I did an horrible mistake. It is the Kaweco Special that has threads on the back of he barrel, the elite does not

Oh yea. As I don't own one, I always forget Specials.

 

Wow, I never dreamed there were so many! Do any of these have room for a converter? I'm not much of a cartridge person.

Kaweco Supra can be used with a converter, but only when the pen is extended with a barrel extension the pen comes with.

You do not have a right to post. You do not have a right to a lawyer. Do you understands these rights you do not have?

 

Kaweco Supra (titanium B), Al-Sport (steel BB).

Parker: Sonnet (dimonite); Frontier GT; 51 (gray); Vacumatic (amber).

Pelikan: m600 (BB); Rotring ArtPen (1,9mm); Rotring Rive; Cult Pens Mini (the original silver version), Waterman Carene (ultramarine F)

Hi all,

 

I've been looking around for pens whose caps screw onto the back of the pen when posting, instead of clicking into place, being held on by friction, or not posting at all. It's surprisingly hard to search for! The only one I've found so far is the Jean-Pierre Lepine pocket-sized pens, whose caps screw on to provide a fuller-sized pen for writing. Does anyone know of any other pens like this?

 

My Montegrappa Micra is a screw on post. It's also pocket-sized too.

The Jinhao Dragon pearl in its various versions, and it's a tasteful and understated little number as well:

The Montblanc Starwalker, although advertised as cartridge-only, will accept a converter (but not a screw-in MB converter; I use a Schmidt K5).

The TWSBI Mini is a piston filling pen, so use of bottled ink is mandatory. No cartridges! ;)

Thanks a lot, guys! Now I just have to decide! I'm thinking the Rosetta...or the TWSBI...or both is good lol

 

Gotta start saving.

I'm always up for an ink trade!

I haven't used the Rosetta but the TWSBI Mini is a fantastic pen with a ultra-smooth nib. It is (in EF) one of my daily writers!

Yes, laid back and cool, visually reticent.

guinea 1.jpgHello,
Sorry to be a latecomer to the arena but I've just acquired a beautiful pen in chased hard (black, of course) rubber, a lever fill, which must be at least 80 years old. Obviously English because the legend along the barrel states THE "GUINEA" PEN 21/-. To those who are not familiar with Old English currency, a guinea was One Pound and One Shilling; the way of depicting this in accountancy/pricing etc. was 21/-. So, the pen cost just over one pound 80 or so years ago and the barrel has a thread matching that inside the cap, obviously for secure posting.

      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
