Manny...

 

Ahem. Well, I love the scanned posts, but it does make it impossible to just quote the one part I wanted to reply to!

 

I got one of the 713 Fines. What I didn't know was that my wife was in cahoots behind my back with Teri, and got me a Stub for my birthday! <3 However, it is writing a bit too wet (well, quite a bit...) Could you explain how to reset the nib to dry up the flow a little bit?

 

Also, to Teri and anyone else: with a nib this small and thin, is it still within the realm of possibility for a grind? I'd be curious to see if Pendleton could make the stub just a wee bit narrower.

 

TIA and all that.

Aha. And it is just a pressure-fit back in, right, no shellac or anything?

Thanks, Manny. I'll mess with it next week when I have the free time.

:embarrassed_smile: Me, too. As of today, a lovely blue 713 with M nib has joined my black 713 with stub nib and burgundy 'second' with F nib. I'm so very pleased. These have joined my Sheaffer Craftsman in Persian blue. Teri's lovely little pens are taking over my writing rotation. :cloud9:

I would love to hear (or if you don't mind posting pictures, see :)) what you think of the M compared to the F. These pens are like potato chips or popcorn...too hard to stop at just one.

Hi Jon-

 

You might swap it for a broad and acomplish the same thing. Unlike many broads, these have a bit of an italic cut and are like a less wide stub.

I'll give it some thought, Teri. Gotta be careful - it was a gift, yanno. :)

Hey Jon-

 

If Mary gave you a shirt that didn't fit, it would not be an insult to the gift or gift giver if you went back and got the right size, would it?

Received mine yesterday, cleaned and filled it and it writes beautifully. It brings back memories of learning to write with a fountain pen at school in the late 40s, early 50s.

 

Hope to meet you at the show in Dublin next month.

Loved my 713 so much that I went back for a 913' both fine nibs. FANTASTIC! The 713 is my favorite writer for flair!

 

Thank you!

Attention! Jon or anyone else reading this - Just in case you were still interested, I have a Broad 913 in blue, NOS as part of my order comprising F, M and B - but both my sis and I have small writing and so it is likely we will not be needing the B after all. Newly unpackaged. I came way late onto the scene necroposting here, so in the probable event that they have run out I may be your last chance to secure one of these splendid pens in a B, particularly if blue is your color - PM me and you can have it for the original $68 plus international shipping. First come first serve. I'd rather see this pen put to good use. -ptrcao 24, Jan 2012

Just placed an order for one yesterday. I wished I had thought to order a Ahab to be shipped up in a medium.....dumb of me for not thinking one order and going for 2 pens. :eureka:

Rob Maguire (Plse call me "M or Mags" like my friends do...)I use a Tablet, Apple Pencil and a fountain pen. Targas, Sailor, MB, Visconti, Aurora, vintage Parkers, all wonderful.

The pen has arrived. It needed a bit of silvo on the cap clip and nib and it shined up. The nib is wonderful. Is the barrel and nib suppose to be solidly glued? I had it twist a bit....it was given a new sac so I speculate it is not glued tight but afraid to give it a pull.

 

The pen is very smooth to write with and wet. I threw some mystery Italian ink, I have, in it and love the pen. I so love this pen.....

 

I found the highlighter gift nifty that was added to my order for free. Both are in rotation as everyday writers now.

Don't worry, the section and barrel are not glued! (Horrors!) We do apply a little heat when we remove the section for re-saccing, because this era of Eversharp plastic can be brittle. If the section seems loose, I'm sure there is something we can do about it.

 

I'm glad you are enjoying the pen. I really wish we had more ....

Corrections to the original post, which people still seem to be reading and referring to even though almost all the pens have been sold.

 

The pen I called the 714 is really the 913 .... same as the 713 but with steel trim. The pen I say we are calling banded, well we actually call it "lined band" and that's what you'll need to search for.

      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..

      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
