I've just had delivery of a blue PFM V to add to my small collection and so far I am delighted with it, as I was with my others. I received it literally 15 minutes ago so have done nothing to it yet, the photo shows it as it arrived.

 

I have a service kit on the way from Pendragons as a precaution even though it appears on brief inspection not to need it and it joins my PFM II and my gold-filled Imperial Triumph fountain pen and ballpen.

Congratulations on your new addition. Looks in good shape especially the cap. I have a couple of them but not with the design on your cap. Enjoy your new pen....

Nice pen. Congrats! It’s a pen worth waiting for, don’t you think? :)
I have a PFM III and I really like it, one of my favorite Sheaffer's pens (I have them more than forty).

Sure is worth waiting for, the prices for good ones seem to be going up a bit too much.

I thought there was only one cap design on the Vs, what other designs appeared on the gold-filled caps?

All the PFMs are super writers but my favorite for looks is the V, especially the blue or burgundy colors.

 

Congratulations your purchase. You're going to love it.

As far as I know, there are two. They are quite similar, just variations on how the vertical lines group and peak. If I can find a photo comparing them, I'll post it.

 

ETA: Richard Binder shows the difference about 2/3 the way down this page: http://www.richardspens.com/?prof=pfm

As Greg mentioned the difference is only in length of grooves. Your cap looks to be with long grooves.

Yes, it has the 2 extended grooves at the top.

I have the V in black and green. And I love the colors because I don't have the other colors. :)

 

BTW, the IV is also very attractive pen. I have it with black barrel and section.

I prefer all steel/ silver trim on my pens, so the II is my favorite:

Beautiful..All five of them. I would love to have all five in PFM lll. Is your grey pen a stub?

Hi viju,

I have a black III that is a natural stub, but the grey II is a factory B that I had stubbed.

      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
