Sorry Feamat, was lazy typing as it was 4am when I typed my question back there, (Time now is 0430am), my dealer actually has one up for sale, with an F nib, hard pass for me since it came with a fine nib. I was actually looking at the pictures of this pen when I realised that it was the same as Zaddicks post.

Hello Tom, Andy, and Feamat. You are all, indeed correct. I did not have a platinum line 149 and liked the idea of a special city nib.

 

Tom - this pen may indeed be a good candidate for a bespoke offering. Another reason for the pickup.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

I had the opportunity to test drive a Hadrian a couple of weeks ago. What a stunning pen. I honestly thought I'd hate it. It doesn't really post and it is quite heavy, but feels really nice in the hand and is just the right length. Only issue was that Starbucks logo. It's a shame they didn't go with the Regio Medusa but I guess Versace would have sued*. The barrel is very nicely done, the piston nob is lovely and very smooth and the nib was a tiny bit soft.

 

*Presuming of course the Regio Medusa head is a copyrighted trademark image of Versace. Maybe it is if you put the Greek key circle around it.

I'm glad to know of your favorable reaction to the Hadrian.

Thank you for mentioning the substantial mass.

As it happens, I'm rather partial to heavier pens.

Yes, I've received several personal note from Germany written with a prototype Expression nib.

I'm not in a position to post them. The writing sample were clear, with well-formed characters.

More than that I ought not say.

Your outstanding photo above merits the highest praise.

The technical qualities of the image dazzle me!

Your selection of nibs is nothing less than top-class all the way around.

Such a superb collection deserves a portrait of this quality.

As ever, you have my highest appreciation for your exceptional pens and your generous information to all in this forum.

      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
