For the last couple of days I have been using a Serwex 362 in red filled with Noodler's Dragons Napalm and a 1362 in green filled with Pelikan Brilliant Green. Excellent pens! I am awaiting a couple of Airmail 58SLs in the post as well as a number of other Serwex Fps. I really have the Indian pen bug at the moment...........my more expensive MBs and Pelikans are feeling unloved :embarrassed_smile:

I am using a Noodeler's ebonite aero converted to eyedropper with a #3 Aiki(e?)n Lambert super flexible nib. I wish Noodler's would sell these pens again.

Just inked my 1362 and it is surprisingly well behaved. It is the first EF nib I have used in a long time that I have liked.

 

Today I have the Serwex MB with flex nib. Running it through the paces.

My Serwex 1362s are more like Western Fines rather than EFs. How do you find the Flex nib on the Serwex MB? I had the flex nib on a Serwex Executive but didn't like it very much.

Maybe I am jaded since using 1.1mm stubs, the 1362 sure seems like an EF to me. Sort of springy too, not that it has tons of variation but you can squeeze some springiness from the nib.

 

I ordered my Serwex MB with the flex nib from fountainpenrevolution.com. It is like the Noodler's flex nibs in that it is a steel nib with the slit cut almost to the top of the nib. I like it better than my Konrad's flex nib. It is much smoother. You can see a small sample I posted on my Instagram account. The feed keeps up very well too, no railroading yet and I was pushing it hard last night. I was practicing some flex writing for Christmas cards. :)

I just got my Ranga bamboo pens, retro-fitted with Jowo nibs. Now they are perfect - a lovely B nib, a converter (so no blobby ink stains) and of course, a great design.

 

Been using one of them all day today, with Diamine Majestic Blue. What a lovely pen it is - I went through an entire converter of ink this evening, writing.

True bliss: knowing that the guy next to you is suffering more than you are.

Today it was the Deccan Aurelius, ED version...

 

I paid for this (and an all-white Masterpiece) about 3 weeks ago, and every time I call Deccan Pen Stores, they keep telling me "it is going out today". According to them it was couriered out last Monday and I still havent gotten it - which makes me doubt that they sent it out.

 

Plan to call them tomorrow and get to the bottom of this - I am traveling in a few days time for about 2 weeks and wanted to take this with me, but guess that isnt going to happen.

Hmmm. All my purchases have been "across the counter" with them, I have no experience with postal orders from them. They are good folks, I am sure they will deliver eventually :)

Oh, I am not concerned about that - I am sure they will send it out. I dont even mind waiting - just not too thrilled with the inaccurate info they've been feeding me. Anyway, I dont want to derail this thread, so I'll STFU.

 

A follow-up comment about my earlier post about Guiders - the Guiders I've gotten directly from the company have mostly tended to be dry writers, but a little blade-work on the nibs/feed and a minute's worth of smoothening on brown paper has made them into very good writers, actually. Considering the price, I retract what I wrote about not being too enamored with them.

I am glad to see these fun pens getting used by folks. I have been using my 1362, I put one of Kevin's Montex 5.5 nibs in it and I even like it more. I have done the same thing with my Serwex 162. I then started using Noodlers Blue Eel ink in them and they really write smooth with that ink.

 

 

This is Kevin's photo, the nib on the right is the Montex and it is very extra fine

Do not let old pens lay around in a drawer, get them working and give them to a new fountain pen user.

I just recieved a Ranga Large Doufold in green ripple ebonite with a Wality medium nib. I filled it up with R&K Scabiosa and it is writing beautifully, the medium nib, though stiff as a nail, is quite smooth and flows across the page readily and without catching on the paper. A very nice writer, and wonderful ebonite rippling. Additionally, I enjoyed finding an additonal fine nib and feed in the box it came in, so as to have bought two pens for the price of one!

FP Ink Orphanage-Is an ink not working with your pens, not the color you're looking for, is never to see the light of day again?!! If this is you, and the ink is in fine condition otherwise, don't dump it down the sink, or throw it into the trash, send it to me (payment can be negotiated), and I will provide it a nice safe home with love, and a decent meal of paper! Please PM me!<span style='color: #000080'>For Sale:</span> TBA

I've got these three currently inked-up and in use. All were purchased from Kevin at fountainpenrevolution.com (actually, the Serwex was a freebie when I ordered the other two).
