My first fountain pen was a pilot metro. I bought when I graduated from college recently. I was wanting it from several years but because I live in Guatemala it is very hard to get them all the way from the US because they are not sold in here. I love it so much.

My first fountain pen was actually my grandfathers which was a Pilot Fighter pen. I didnt get to use it very long until I had issues with the ink sac, but absolutely loved it and it was the reason to buy my first fountain pen which was a Pilot Metropolitan once I passed my certification test to become a certified nurse.

 

I am in the US, for shipping purposes :)

My first fountain pen was a no name brand, had a greenish body with airplanes and something military (cartoonish) type pattern. I think I picked that color because of the airplanes on it. :D Unfortunately I threw it away last year without taking a picture of it (it broke so became unusable), I'm still a little upset about that.

From Hungary, for shipping. :)

Thank you for being kind and caring to share! :)

My first fountain pen was hero fountain pen (chinese pen), I bought it for around Rs50 (i.e. around 1$) in India.

Like many others, my first fountain pen was a white tiger Pilot Metropolitan, purchased from the Goulet Pen Company.

 

Located in the United States if fortune finds me.

My first pen was an old Waterman that I "borrowed" from my mother's desk. The first pen I bought was a Sheaffer with a nib so broad it was only really good for signing treaties or the Magna Carta. Right now I write with a Preppy and have a Jinhao X450 and a Plasair on the way. This is cheaper than my old pocket-watch addiction, but not by much.

In the end only kindness matters

Since I don't have any Diplomat pens, I'd like to enter. I'm in the continental US, and my first fountain pen (excluding calligraphy pens I used as a kid) was a Waterman Phileas, which BTW is a very nice pen that I still use today. Thanks for the offer!

My first fountain pen was a Sheaffer cartridge school pen I used in the 1970s. I remember how much fun it was to use, and I was mesmerized by watching the ink flow out of the nib.

My first real fountain pen was the Jinhao x450. It is a really good pen for the money. Thank you for this pif! I am in Northern California.

May the odds be ever in your favor!!

I'm sure I had a few of the Sheaffer bubble-pack cartridge pens when I was in school, but the first nice fountain pen I owned was one I purchased for myself at an office supply store circa 1971 - a Parker 75 in sterling cisele which I still have!

My first fountain pen was a Bulow X450, a copy of the Jinhao X450. I got a free pot of Chesterfield Ink with it, which was pretty nice. I liked that pen, turned it into an architect nib a while back.

 

I'm in the US.

My very first pen was a school pen in 2nd class, it was green, scratched a lot but everyone had the same, so no difference :)

And this happend in Czechoslovakia long time ago, now settled in Czech Rep.

 

Thanks for opportunity :)

My first fountain pen was a Pilot Varsity just to see if I liked the general feel. My first refillable fountain pen was a Jinhao x750.

Hi, my first pen was Camlin Mini- one of the only fountain pen that could be found in nearby shops and a Montex pen with 10 hole.

My first fountain pen was a Parker Vector.

I was young and didn't know what I was doing with it. I was using cheap ink and terrible paper.

 

My first pen when I got serious was a Lamy AlStar. I purchased some samples of Iroshizoku, Jentle and Diamine then fell instantly in love.

My job involves making legal records with indelible ink, and what way of making the dullest part of my job more interesting than doing it with a brilliant German nib and some YamaDori coming from it?

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
