...Pandora is not available for Canadians...

[rustymac40]

No Pandora in Canada??? That really surprised me.

 

 

Amgroma, those are really neat pens, I would love to get a report from someone who has used one:) Can you pm me the specifics, if they write okay, I may order a few to hand out at work.

Thank you very much.. As i had mentioned to you, i have inspired few students in my university for FPs..

"Alc" is sending me a parker for a student and i was in a dilemma whom to give as atleast there are five eligible students now with this PIF, am going to make three of them excited to FPs..I have got a big bottle of black ink am going to ink them up and may give some ink samples along with the pen.

 

any other ideas to make the gift to students more attractive ?

 

 

 

 

At first I thought this was a difficult decision. So many people had good reasons why they should get the pens. In the end, I really had to go with the lowest postage fees to make a decision. The Hero 616 fountain pens go to:

A notebook of some nice paper, maybe?

[hariharan]

i thought i ll get a journal and will also write a one page letter in my BEST (lol) handwriting on how great it is to partner with an FP in our daily life.. this being the month of international correspondence, that makes more sense..

@ angroma and rustymac40: Those Pirre Paul's are surprisingly great pens. I bought a few to give away, kept one for myself, and use it daily at work. I like how the cap posts, the nib is smooth, and I ike that it takes standard converters. That PIF will make a few people very happy. Maybe I need to order a few more.

[Amgroma]

Excuse my horrible handwriting.

Anyone know why sometimes I get an error message when sending PM's that says something like "you can't start another PM until..."?

Spam control.

Yes, there is a built in delay period to combat against flooding. So you have to wait between sending consecutive PMs. Nice new PiF, Am!

So here's two old Sheaffer calligraphy pens I do not want. They are NOT good starter fp's but they'd be great for someone who wants to try out calligraphy. I'd like to give both of them to the same person.

 

The nibs are broad and medium. The nib assemblies, from what I can tell, cannot be taken apart and adjusted (maybe someone else can find a way to do this though; I'm no expert). For this reason, they would probably be better for someone who already knows fp's and has a couple of inks with different flow properties, so you can get the wetness you desire. So, don't enter for these if you don't want to tinker.

 

The bodies and caps are transparent. The pens will take Sheaffer cartridges. They also seem long enough for a converter. They look like they would be really good ED's too.

 

Pm me with a short explanation of why you'd like these pens, if you're interested. I'll ship anywhere. All entries are welcome; but as I said they're probably better for the person with more inks, experience, and the willingness to tinker. I'll take entries until Friday the 15th of February midnight EST. I'll draw the winner when I get a chance that weekend, then post and pm the winner.

 

God bless

 

They are real beauties!! Sent you a PM :-)

You can always level with them and tell them that a FP is a better way to write and requires someone mature enough to use it. You know, make it an object of desire, a definite "reward", so to speak. ^_~ That, or offer cookies!

You most certainly do, as Meditation from the opera Thais is one of the most famous pieces in the violin repertoire. Here is just one example:
