Hi everyone, I've been reading this site for a while now, and I thought I'd join and say hello. I've been collecting for a couple of years now, and I feel that I've built up a collection for my age. A year ago, some nutcase nicked my Namiki VP, Cross ATX and Lamy Scribble. I stoped collecting for about 6 mths but after reading the posts on this website, I've begun again. Now, I reguarly use a Lamy 2000 (F) or a Pelikan Level 5 (F)

Everyone here seems so knowlegeble and I'd love to learn somemore about the pens I have.

 

Shaun

Hello and welcome to the FPNuthouse! Sorry to hear about your pens getting messed up. :angry: No reason for that. Anyway, you're amongst fellow pen-nutheads who understand your pain.

 

You are correct in there being many knowledgeable folks around here to learn from. Just make like a sponge and soak it all up. With the amount and quality of info available here, you can become a fountain pen info guru in no time at all. It's fun learning so much from so many wonderful folks - been here almost 8 months myself and it's a blast!

 

See ya around!

Hi Shaun and welcome to FPN! :D

 

Sorry to hear about your nicked (that means "stolen" in the UK, right?) pens. Very sad :(...

I am glad that it didn't completely discourage you from getting back into the hobby, though....Good for you!

 

I myself have a Lamy 2000 and I really like the design and reliability. As for Pelikan Level pens (great review of your own Level 5 pen, by the way!), there was a fascinating thread on the design of the filling system here on FPN a while back ( https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/in...?showtopic=5397 ).

Hi,

 

Welcome!!

Stolen: Aurora Optima Demonstrator Red ends Medium nib. Serial number 1216 and Aurora 98 Cartridge/Converter Black bark finish (Archivi Storici) with gold cap. Reward if found. Please contact me if you have seen these pens.

Please send vial orders and other messages to fpninkvials funny-round-mark-thing gmail strange-mark-thing com. My shop is open once again if you need help with your pen.

Will someone with the name of "Jay" who emailed me through the email system provide me an email address? There was no email address provided, so I can't write back.

      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
