I liked the color, so I bought it.

But I didn't find any information about it.

Can you help?

It's not an ordinary NN, it's a fancy one with gold plating and a pretty body.

Yep...a NoNonsense with some flair. I have one just like it and replaced the nib with an 18k from a Connaisseur. I also put a turned-down brass machine screw in the depression on the back end of the barrel.

Baptiste knew how to make a short job long

For love of it. And yet not waste time either.

That sounds interesting. I would like to stick a normal nib in my calligraphy NN. How can you do that?

Go to the 7th post in this thread to see mine...

Ron Zorn went even further in modifying his NN, to the point it looks and feels like a red marbled Connaisseur.

Nice pens that one could hook up with a large variety of nibs..{Sheaffer Balance ll for example}

From Sheaffer catalog c. 1998

Suggested Retail was $10.00 and came on a blistercard....While the NoNonsense Viewpoint

in five translucent colors.....Purple Smoke Red Blue Green was $5.00.....

And the Solid colors..Jellies..Sports..et.al. Sheaffer claimed the stainless steel nibs

were flexible..........Really.....One man's good old advertising hyperbole is another man's

major league irritant..........Skrip inks cost $4.50 for a 2 oz bottle at that time........

Hmm...Burgundy Red King's Gold Peacock Blue Blue-Black..................

That looks pretty, indeed. So it was perhaps a good decision to follow the "must-have instinct" when the pen popped up on Yahoo Auctions Japan. :)

I think you made the right move. Folks at the local pen club gave positive comments about the pen. I got mine from speerbob.

Meanwhile I found a converter for it and filled it with Pelikan 4001 brilliantgreen.

Guess what, it is a VERY good pen. It has a smooth nib, the line size is not too broad (i.e. it is just right for me!!!). It doesn't dry out even if I let it for some days without using it.

And finally, it is pretty.

I wish, I would find the blue and the green one too. Thanks Freddy for the old advertisement, so I have now some search targets.

The 18k nib I put in mine was a broad medium and laid down too much ink for my liking, so I went back to the original ss nib and like it better; and it's just as smooth as the gold nib. It's the pen I carry on trips because it will take cartridges.

These are nice pens. I have a Red Marbled and Green Marbled version. Every year around Christmas-time I ink them with Red and Green ink and use them as my Christmas pens. Good choice!

I have four of these with the gold trim and gold disk on top of the cap. Also, these have gold plated non-italic nibs. I have seen Ron Zorn' modified pen in the thread linked above. What gold nibs other than that of a Balance II and Connaisseur would fit in this pen?

      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
