Hi everyone,

 

I bought a new pen recently but I can't say what model it is. I was thinking about the cc 221 but the number is not engraved on the cap, maybe the classic but i have no information about it. Or the generation. Please help me

 

Thanks a lot

Hi,

 

It's not the Generation since the Generation has a different cap band. The pen seems to be one of the older Classics. The later classics had a grip section similar to the one on the Generation.

I found this page via Google; scroll down to the Gallery and you'll see a 221, which looks very close to your Classic. Based on the info there, I'd say your pen is probably from late 70's-early/mid 80's(?). Of course, I could be wrong (and have been...often).

 

HTH!

Yes ! you're right, according to this page the classic must have been produced after 1979 but before the generation.

 

thanks a lot for your help I appreciate !

The transition was 24 ---> 221 ---> early Classic ---> late Classic ---> Generations with lots of spinoffs like some Monte Rosas and the Carrera and Carressas.

I have a 221 whose papers called it a 221P. Any idea what the P stands for? Sorry to hijack the thread.

"P" stands for "Patronen", which means cartridges in German.

      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

      @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
