Love the way the nib picks up reflected color from the leaf.

 

Hancock obviously was an OBBB quill lover.

That looks terrible. Let me fix that by trading you for a nice and sane 149 with a mostly gold colored M nib. ;)

 

Enjoy your new treasure. I have one in my plans too.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

Do I have to take off my carnelian earrings to join the club?

Let's see them next to your favourite pen. Perhaps?

 

The Heritage 1912 was gifted to me by my favourite aunt.

In 1991 I received the carnelian ring from my wife whom I love with all my heart. These two objects are very dear to me. I couldn't even send the Heritage off for a nib exchange because I didn't want to be separated from the present my aunt chose for me.

 

I was contemplating an OBB nib for it --- even very seriously until I decided that I just couldn't.

I found in the wild, an early 1960 vintage MB149 with OBB nib. A wet writer, too wet for me. I have some work on the cap to do,but holy cow, an OBB!

Hard times don't last, but hard people do.

 

Thank a Veteran.

      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
