Nice! I really like the P57, esp in that color.

The Pirate pen is a new version, the old version had a BP there for writing over the eradication.

I have an 1980s era Pelikano, and it's a very nice writer for the five bucks (plus the cost of converter) that I paid for it.

The "Super Pirat" is a little silly, but presumably it's a school pen/starter pen for kids. The P57 is rather nice looking. I presume that they're both c/c pens?

Both are cartridge pens , and should take cartridge converters ...

One is a medium NIB P57 and the other a fine NIB .. So I wanted something to compare to Chinese Pens ..

And both would be Budget Pens ..

Ive always liked the P57s looks. It reminds me of Tron.

I like that nib style. They very nice and smooth steel nibs.

I've got the P55 Future pen with ist very similar to the P57 Style pen.

The "Super Pirat" is an ink eradicator. for school kids (Pelikan-Lamy-(Waterman?) blue; which are washable.)....I'm not sure if I still have the old one with the ball point instead of the nib or not. (I think I sent it to my god kid in the states with a handful of pens)

The German teachers wanted a generation ago, when I last knew a neighborhood family friend's kid well, very neat writing, even in the eradicated section, and a ball point did that better than a fountain pen.

 

Today, ball points are allowed. But I bet 'good' Teachers here in Germany are still very picky when it comes to a clean page of homework.

The eradication fluid must be better than before, when a fountain pen didn't write well over it, to have the ink eradicator have a nib.

 

Perhaps the teachers hoping to keep the kids writing with fountain pens are willing to take lumpy corrections. :)

      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
