Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for the photo. What number is the orange one? I can see by the nib that the black one is no. 12.

It's a nr. 10: the only one I have ever seen in that color. Max said that he has restored it for a private collector

Why do you say that?

 

I imagine as he thinks that's a really beautiful pen. I don't really like it however I imagine he likes is the Masculinity of the design.

Recently, I tried one of those makrolon (sp?) Lamy 2000s (that's what that is, correct Synthy?) at my LPS, and I found it very slippery to hold. I was all charged up thinking to buy one, but changed my mind. That's a nice looking pen, though.

I know this pen is more jewelry than pen, but I really like the Caran d'Ache Perles series.

Some really beautiful pens on these pages, and some really nasty horrors - which just goes to show the diversity of fountain pens and the widely varying tastes of the users.

 

I won't say which was which for fear of offending proud owners - it would only be my own opinion after all. As long as you love your own pens that is really all that matters.

Pens and paper everywhere, yet all our hearts did sink,

 

Pens and paper everywhere, but not a drop of ink.

You can't comment without throwing your FP hat in the ring with the rest of us. :P

      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
