Recommended Posts

Thank you Declan

I saw these on I think the JBS1963 for mor than that, but found another thread that suggested isellpens.com that sell it for 100 US dollars too (postage heaps).

Have you tried the oblique nibs as these seem quite popular too?

 

Cheers

pm sent - I got mine new on ebay for 77.50 uk pounds (approx 111 us dollars) on ebay which i rekon was a pretty decent price...

 

Yep, I got mine from JBS1963, but I see his prices have gone up by about 10 pounds

Lucky i got mine when i did.

ps just spotted item number 140305922812 on ebay

65 pounds seems a very good price.

Ive never used the seller so cant comment from experience - but his feedback looks good.

Hey Declan

good spot and good price- unfortunately they dont ship to my part of the world.

But did spot one from Pengallery bsed in Malaysia for about 104 Us dollars including shipping- may be worth a go!

cheers

Thanks for that. I tried a Lamy 2000 today on one of my rare trips to London. The shop had only M nibs available (good job too because I can't afford one right now).

 

This pen (with an EF nib) is next on my pen shopping list.

Update on this - after a few months use this pen developed a leak where the aluminium meets the makrolon.

 

I eventually ended up sending this to Heidelberg for repair, came back in about two weeks.

After fairly extensive repair (see below, cant understand why so much replaced) its working just like when it was new. Still pleased with the pen despite the temprary breakdown. Hope its a one off as its

supposedly a bulletproof pen.

 

 

Service Slip says

 

1) New ink feed

2) New Front Section

3) New Barrel

4) Fountain pen cleaned

5) flow adjusted

6) surface rematted

Huh, this isn't as broad as I figured it would be given the 2000's tendency to run wide. Nice, though.

Hi Declan

sounds pretty much like a new pen!

hope it works better this time.

Some folks here seem to have a few pens (Lamy's) on the go, with one often being repaired and the others in use! A strange sacrifice to make, but it is a gorgeous writing implement.

 

All the best this time

 

Jeremy

I think I need to dig out my 2000 stub (which doubles as a rather good brush for housepainting)...

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of nothing at all...

Just ordered a 2000 OB to use for signature writing. I have an EF for everything else. I love this pen, my EF has been the most reliable pen in my whole collection, sometimes sitting for a month or two and then upon picking up instant starts and smooth writing. I hope my Oblique Broad behaves as well.

I really want my everyday "jotter" to be my Pilot Vanishing Point, but I've had three different nibs all with problems. So I guess this is it for me!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
