Can Barclay, Ripet, Sagitta be translated into Chech which is or was a different alphabet ....I might take a look from German Ebay. I need the word for fountain pen.

 

Geez man, one would think that your stay in Germany would teach you better. Cechens live in Chechnya, it is Czechs who live right next to your door. Czechs never had a different alphabet, we always used the Latin one. Have you ever been in Prague?

 

When I was a kid I was writing with Centropen FPs but I doubt one can get those easily these days.

 

Edit: KOH-I-NOOR Hardtmuth is another established EE brand going way back to 1790 - see http://www.koh-i-noor.cz/en/spolecnost/historie .I do not remember using any K-I-N FPs though.

The results of my query: there are actually quite a few Rexpens in the shops, but they are all newer models, they retail at prices similar to a Parker Vector or Frontier, and usually come with a BP. Of the older models, I haven't seen any. :(

I also doubt that any of the old models can be found on eBay...

 

But I found something similar (some sort of serbian version of eBay!?!) :blink: -> HERE (it's in latin but some of the auction-text is in cyrillic!)

 

There are some REXPEN fountain pens and other interesting thingies, and if you're in Croatia maybe you can have better access to them.

And I finnaly found the picture of a typical scool fountain pen used in Slovenia during 1980-1990. Almost everyone had one. THis one is designated 2020; I had one with no number designation.

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
