That is an amazing collection! :puddle: :puddle:

I may have destroyed my laptop due to all the drool on the keyboard :D .

 

I think these are some of the most beautiful birds, if only they made an oversized, M800-sized, version of some of these... then, I would be in trouble.

 

Congratulations on such a fantastic collection.

I agree, I think, for re-issues these are great pens. Not only great looking but I am particularly enamored of the form, I like the originals as well.

 

I have the Lapis, the Jade and the lizard. I have heard stories of the binde of the Lapis shrinking in such a way that it causes ripples or rings around the body of the pen. Have you noitced that on your examples? Really a great set, thanks for showing,

What a great collection. How long did it take you to get this far?

Thanks! It has been more than 10 years, I guess.

Thanks. There is still one more to go. And I'm still not sure with the position of my Lapis which is currently on transit to Hannover spa.

Thanks. My Lapis barrel is currently fine. No ring spotted so far at the barrel. It's just the cap is shrinking albeit it still manages to fully capped and the captop had turned to purple. The Jade is awesome with no shrinking nor discolourised.

My own lapis 101 is perfect, with no distortion or darkening -- with the exception that <one side> of the BHR at each end is slightly faded (gaining an olive-ish patina) because I understand that it sat on display in a shop window in Moscow for a long time, prior to my ownership. This imperfection, however, bothers me not one iota, since I am a user, rather than "pure collector" (no disrespect to daenghafez, whose collection I greatly admire! I have the lapis, the jade and the two tortoiseshells)

Thanks Chris. Would mind to share the lapis pen here? Drooling to see one original 101 lapis. By the way, may I know which pen shop in Moscow did you acquite the lapis. Would be a colourful history for a vintage pen lapis of 1930s landed there.

Not to get off topic too far, but Paul Rossi made several custom pens that are essentially close to an 800N if it existed. They take M800 nibs and are piston fillers. I can dig up a photo if desired.

 

OP - a great collection of pens. I like the OOTT series a lot. Congratulations on getting close to the finish line.

      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
