I collected the Ogiva from the shop this morning and what a difference the Fine Extra Flessibile nib has made. Not to mention the repaired/replaced piston. Now a fantastic pen - writing just the way I like them. I'll try to put some pics on soon.

Great to hear your issues are being solved! I love my Flessible nibs. Do share your photos soon!

 

Edited to add: Sorry for my infrequent replies, I'm currently in the military here in Singapore. It isn't exactly fun and games. And no, no fountain pens.

Here is a rather awful pic of the pen and written scrawl. There isn't really much to say about the 'flexibility' of the nib as I think it's down to the pressure that an individual might use at any one time. However, I like to write with almost no pressure and this pen/nib combination certainly delivers that.

I like the green colour of the cotton resin and the dark colour of the ink inside. I'm sure they've repaired the piston satisfactorily and it seems pretty good now. Nice to have a LE as well.

Hi,

 

Those are really nice pens! When I first saw the announcement, I wanted one, but then I realized I didn't have money for any new pens. Enjoy!

Wow envy u bro, hoping it still in stock at FOOK HING, and it seems you have a particular interest in Italian FP. I personally prefer the design of Aurora 88, however, the only 88 in stock seems in the aesthetically which only have the sterling silver version, do u have any idea where can I get a large 88?

Wow, that is a beautiful pen... I wish I could buy another, but I simply won't because I'm interested in celluloid! Would love to get one especially in a Burkina finish. The orange and purplish-blue Albas are awesome, I must say...

      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
