I would like to introduce you the relauched Tibaldi. Just a quick look at the N60 Blu Samarkand model. I got it at "Fontana Penna", in Europe.

 

I have been deeply impressed by it. After only one day of writing with this pen I have to say it was definitely a great buy.
Just a nice looking pen with a smooth steel nib. Works out of box immediately. Considering it comes with a BB nib, it has a medium flow and it writes more or less like a Pelikan M in size.

 

The pen measures 149mm closed. I have smaller hands but I found the size very comfortable. Really nice to writ with.

I have one of these, and I find it an excellent writer, as well as being very comfortable in the hand.

 

Your photos capture the colours very faithfully. Thanks for posting, and enjoy your writing :)

It has a real vintage look, lovely!

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

Uh oh beauty vintage redux alert! Thank you for the lovely pictures @Pomperopero

 

The ebonite feed :P looks like it bumps Tibaldi N60 above the competition in writing wetness

 

I'm surprised that it is so big. Stock marketing photos make it look vintage tiny so glad you posted a comparison shot with other pens like the Pelikan and Aurora

Thanks for your kind words. Depending the material, sometimes it's hard to capture the real color of the pen.

I believe it has a nice size for, more or less, all the hands. The ebonite feed is a plus :happycloud9:

Got any writing samples comparing the N60 BB width to other sizes of other pens (maybe Lamy, or Montblanc)?

Three years later . . .. In 2023 I'm eyeing the Tibaldi Zazou Green fountain pen. It may also have the words retro and zest in its name. A seller on Mercari is offering a used one with a fine nib for $160. I just tendered an offer for $153. We'll see.

      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
