Andy:

Nib pictures and writing samples please!

Sorry for the confusion @BlueJ, but I believe these are Siamckz' pens, unless of course someone sent them to be repaired/restored.

Sorry Andy,

My mistake due to the images being copied in your reply to siamakz. The celluloid pen bodies are gorgeous but the 1950s nibs and their capabilities are the most interesting things to me. Looking forward to Sia's reply.

334½ EF*

234½ BB

 

*according to the marking on the blind-cap. More like a fat F? Either been swapped out or heavily worn down.

 

 

Now those are nice ones too. On my list...

Decided to ink the latest acquisition... Sakura 333.

Absolutely love the pen, the nib, the balance and the paint job.

Debating whether or not to put a new thread showing the personal acquisitions 🤭

Love the way they turned the breather hole into an astrological sign.

Everything about this pen exudes class. Tastefully executed.

You should post a new thread with all your recent acquisitions. I'd personally like to see more pictures of this, the 333 skeleton and the Porcelain MB.

      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
