Another way scammers are scamming products out of your hands.

 

Lax attitudes with counterfeits is never a good thing...even if it's not that expensive and is good quality, the counterfeiting industry is usually where these organized criminal rings or terrorists get their funding.

 

Buying a counterfeit not only costs you money, but may cost you your life.

Fingers crossed for Sheaffer’s future

Piston-filling fountain pens are less likely to be fake.

 

 

... there are fake Montblanc piston fillers to be had. You don't have to look very hard.

Buyer beware.

I'm selling a Parker Sonnet vision fonce Chinese Laque fountain pen on ebay (starting bid £49 ~ it was an unwanted gift). How can I make sure I haven't got a fake to pass on ~ what should I look out for. It all looks pretty genuine to me, but would like to be sure I'm selling the genuine article! Cheers, Kim

      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
