Aurora Italian Flag pens will cover red and white for you.

 

I would keep a black one in there as well.

My mother a WAC landed in France D-Day + 11.

Took the unescorted 35 knot Queen Mary 'troop ship' across the Pond.

 

In England ran down IKE when she found out she had an English Bike and not American one with coaster breaks. He had a few sharp words to say. (His fault, in looking the wrong way when crossing an English road.)

 

Sigh, She voted for him anyway.

I was born 44 years to the minute after the Normandy landings begun.

 

And I shipped off a pen recovered from a japanese ship sunk jan 30 1944 to wancher for restoration. The postal worker told me that his dad was assigned to protect emperor hirohito after the war. And he actually knew my mom's husband (before she had kids) back in the 70's when he was a NAUI diver in the Pacific

 

It's been a really "small world" kinda week

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

      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
