Eyedropper/cartridge Pen: Fellowship 1000 Ft

[mke]

Yesterday, I got the winning bid in an EBAY auction for a new pen: Fellowship 1000 FT described as "Full Transparent Fountain Pen Cartridge & Eyedropper Dual Ink Filling Medium Nib".

Has anybody information about this pen?

 

If you want to see the pen, here is a link.

That looks like a nice pen, congratulations. I don't know this particular models, but I have a number of Fellowship pens and they're all very nice pens, good writers. In several group buys I joined here on FPN, Ranga enclosed a Fellowship with their handmade pen as a bonus. I find them comparable with Airmail/Wality, but the nibs are superior. Enjoy!

i would agree with the other posts on this. I don't have the particular model, but I have several other Fellowship pens, and they have been inexpensive reliable writers. I would also agree that their nibs are usually more consistent than Airmail, although they don't have the variety of pen models to chose from.

OK, I have received the pen and tested if it really is a good eye-dropper as advertised. (The barrel holds 3.7ml of ink if fully filled.)

 

It isn't, it is drooling through the feed. Immediately!

Same problem as with my preppys, the weight of the ink is apparently too much.

 

Fortunately, it has a cartridge included. So, I will use either the cartridge or the same amount of ink as in the cartridge.

And - the pen is scented. My hand now too. And my cat doesn't like this smell.
