Pen - Franklin-Christoph Model 03 Ghost &Smoke

Nib - Matsuyama Broad Cursive Italic

 

The correct name spelling is Masuyama. I have B-CI currently on Model 19 and love it with all my heart.

My bad on the name. Spelling is not my strong suit. I also have a fine cursive italic that I adore equally if not more.

And you should try Christoph Music Nib, speciality of the house :) . I have thought it will be unusably wide, but in a fact it is pure fun.

I just ordered my second pocket 20 and I almost got the music nib but instead picked the 1.5 calligraphy italic. This broad nib kick is new to me. Im an ef guy mainly. Im having fun though.

Hello,

This model is gorgeous. But i think all the Franklin Christoph products are gorgeous. Hard to be objective and even more so after my fourth model.

I plan to buy this model but I hesitate between Ghost and Emerald. Did you try to ink it in eye dropper mode ?

I would be personally curious to see the color rendering at the body level with this Ghost color.

If you do, I'm interested (and I think I'm not the only one) of some pictures :)

Thanks.

      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
