Sweet pens. I am not as high class as you all, but here is what I picked up on the

bay this summer.

A solid gold Lamy!? Very cool! It looks like it has a nice B or BB nib, how does it preform?

Very interesting. I never knew Lamy made gold pens.

The Lamy 27 ist made in the 1960s and has a great nib:

Wonderful pen Dirk!

...and a great graphic of nib and feeder beside. What is it, a catalog?

Do you know the purpose of the tongue on the nib?

[Shangas]

Is it to lick up excess ink?

Is it to lick up excess ink?

Maybe it's one of those "singing nibs".

[Dib]

Hello Christof,

it is just the old version of a paper for writing sample. The size is the same as the actual sheets.

[Cepasaccus]

I think this is the right thread to show my EDC. It is really my most expensive pen, but I love it so much that it was worth every Euro! The nib is like a stub or italic. The line width is about 0.8 - 1.8mm. Since the writing sample I ground the tip a bit sharper and the sideways line is now a bit thinner. Midnight Blue is IMHO the perfect ink for this. So I bought three bottles before it vanished.

WOW, beautiful pen! I'm guessing you like solid gold pens with extra broad nibs?

Rarest pen I've ever seen, or something very close to that...

 

Congrats!

There is something intangibly special about a gold pen

[Cepasaccus]

Just again my safety, but with a new and very well fitting background from the German magazin Die Schoenheit ("The Beauty") (Edit) from 1921.

 

"Jubelt, ihr Lebenden! Freut euch des Lichts, trunken vom Golde funkelnder Schönheit!"

 

Roughly translated to:

 

"Sing, you living! Rejoice the light, drunk with from gold sparkling beauty!"

 

I think that fits to all pens here in this thread. (But to my pen especially! )
