reminded me that I have one of these pens in my collection. I got it as a gift in 2000 or 2001, used it once, and stashed away, it was too thin and the line was too fine for my liking.

 

The pen has mate finish, appears to be metal (brass?) underneath, from the way it feels in the hand. I have polished off the gold plating on the nib (a bit foolishly maybe :embarrassed_smile: ). The nib has some fleabites around the logo and the tines, I have no idea what from, because the pen has been siting in the storage uninked all this time. They are visible in the pics. It's an M nib, that writes between Fine and Medium line, nice, wet and smooth.

 

Well, I have no idea how much this pen is worth, so make me an offer, and don't be shy :) I prefer Broad nibbed pens, but...

 

Enough talk, here are the pics:

 

 

best regards,

Nenad

life is nothing if you're not obsessed.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
