Hi ,

I'm Kivanc from Istanbul , Turkey. I'm interested in fountain pens for about a year. I'm reading your forums for a while and really enjoy this. During this year I bought (and have been using) a Parker 45 (black with gold plated cap), a Platignum varsity FP/MP and an onoto MP.

 

These days I'm looking at low-end Pelikans (new ones) and Esterbrooks.

 

Greetings to everyone there.

Welcome, Kivanc!

 

Low-end Pelikans?

 

How about trying to get a Pelikan GO before

they are all gone? They are of a much higher

quality than the usual low-end Pelikans (like

model P22 Culture).

 

If you don't already know this beautiful link

to Pelikan info, take a look at

Have fun!

It is good to have you here kivanck! The Pelikan Level 5 seems to be a decent "cheaper" model:

In any event, Turkey is my wife's dream destination and we hope to visit there some day. Again, welcome!

Hi,

Thanks to everyone for this warm wellcome. I think I couldn't express myself in the right way. I meant M150 and M200 series saying `low-end` Pelikans. I read many good things about both these pens and to be honest, besides writing performance design is really important for me and Pelikan tradition series looks great to me with their classic designs (and cheaper prices compared to Souverans)

 

I don't think that I will buy a Souveran soon but in fact I don't know the difference between 'Tradition' and 'Souveran' series (except their colrs etc.)

Hi kivanck and welcome to FPN! :D

 

It's nice to see some more new FPN members from Eastern Europe. I myself was born in the former Yugoslavia so I know a little bit about Turkish history :lol:

 

I hope you enjoy reading and participating in the forums here....and I hope you enjoy your Pelikan M150/200 as much as I do mine (I have one of each) :)

      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
