That is a MB 32 piston filler

 

Aah. That's a cool design. I might even consider trading you my Camlin Trinity for it, ink and all :-)

Ahab, where did you find these Indian school pens? I have turned my students on to fountain pens and may be looking to purchase some giveaways.

Ireiley, Talk to FPN member Mesu. I had a similar project and bought 15 Oliver Exams from her, for the purpose. Got a very good price, They're piston fillers and write very well. Although I got three back, because I made it a condition that they use them if they wanted to keep them. Two knew immediately they wouldn't, and one turned a pen in today. But the other twelve are hanging on to theirs. I guess that's still a successful project.

My Gama supreme demonstrator came in the mail today, and I plan to take it to a conference, an all-day affair, tomorrow. It takes a ton of ink. Biggest demonstrator I've ever seen.

The pen case looks very nice. From where did you buy it? It has been on my wanted list for quite sometime.

I put my savings to test

Lamy & Pilot FPs the Best

No more I even think of the rest

(Preference Fine and Extra Fine Nibs)

Pen is meant for writing - not for looking :-)

Total 75 minutes of hand drilling the various diameter steps needed and hand tapping the section for the schmidt unit and then hand boring the barrel to accommodate the converter. I have several more pics but maybe later.

That is a very cool conversion and a good choice of pen. The Padpad/Raja is a nice pen.

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

      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
