None :D Flirted with the idea, nearly had a whole one too! Wrong marque for me. Too expensive.

I disagree with the too expensive part.

I believe it should be complete Waterman pens.

Sorry, my bad, I'll rephrase: Too expensive for the likes of me. How's that? :)

Does a Waterman count if it lacks a clip?

 

<rant> Bought a Waterman pen from The Wild knowing that the pen has problems (lever doesn't work, sac is probably toast, clip is missing, and due to missing clip the cap is leaking). Contemplated on sending the pen to someone in UK to be repaired / restored. For multiple reasons: No, cannot do. Sending that pen to UK is forbidden. If I wouldn't know, that after restoration that pen isn't one of the cheapest Watermans, I would just toss it. Thanks Finnish Postal office for reminding me why I have never sent a single thing to anywhere. </rant>

You do not have a right to post. You do not have a right to a lawyer. Do you understands these rights you do not have?

 

Kaweco Supra (titanium B), Al-Sport (steel BB).

Parker: Sonnet (dimonite); Frontier GT; 51 (gray); Vacumatic (amber).

Pelikan: m600 (BB); Rotring ArtPen (1,9mm); Rotring Rive; Cult Pens Mini (the original silver version), Waterman Carene (ultramarine F)

Count started at exactly 1, since upgraded to 4-6 and now 7-10.

Oops, that was weeks ago, about three weeks and a similar number of pens. Marking twelve, with none at all on the way now.

31 down from 33 recently (2 from the 1930s, the rest are from roughly 1915-1929)

 

They include a 58 and an 18, but my favorite is a modest nickel trimmed 52 that has an "artist" nib. I love that nib

Peaking at 17 I think, being about to offer two for sale and having no others on an interest list. If I could decide on three more to sell then they would fit in their designated 12-pen case :rolleyes:

I bought another case

That's good, otherwise we would have the case of the missing pen......

Ate once at a very nice restaurant in NZ (Christchurch?) called One Chair Missing, so named because when their new furniture was being delivered....

Only one so far, and not a working one at that. Came in a joblot, and I kept it in a box for 5 years. Now that the fetish has awoken back again, I decided to put it back together (I had taken the feed for a DIY flex fountain pen), and discovered that the nib is a calligraphy nib (CAL 14ct) and not a medium or a fine writing nib. I want to repair it but might end up swapping it for something I will use daily.

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

      By Misfit · Posted

      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
