Matte black Pilot Capless with fine nib if my friend remembers to buy it for me when he's visiting New York. If that fails, then maybe Edison or Lamy.

Siima, I also own a Pilot Capless (pearl grey) It's a beautifull writer.

Something I like using it is the face of the persons who see it for the first time : the way the nib goes out is so .... special for a fountain pen ....

I hope your friend will find it for you. Personnaly, mine is coming directly from Engeika Pens in Japan (engeika.com) .... I've had it at a very affordable price ....

I finally ventured into looking at Nakaya... Omg, they're so gorgeous! I would need to save for what might feel like eons, and then the deciding on just what I'd like would be an adventure. But I think I just found my grail pen in Nakaya, hah!

I hope you will soon reach that dream ..... My Intuition is one of my favourite pen I have the grenadilla one and am so in love with it. I also thought it would be my last purchase as it was impossible to have a better one ..... Yes but one day, I have been given a Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava ..... Oh god, what a nib !!!!!! .... Quite every purchase is my last one ..... Until the other one .... ;-@

I just thought about that. I have 3 more pens in the 100 Euro range for this year on my ticklist, next year there will probably be only one pen and I intend to go pick it up in the Onoto factory if that is at all possible... :wub:

NOS Eversharp Symphony No. 713. Fine 14k nib with blue body and gold trim. Ordered it yesterday. Hadn't planned on getting any new pens. I was looking at different websites during lunch and saw it on Peytron Street Pens. Once I read it had a flexible nib and only cost $88.00, I was sold!

I'm seriously considering a Montblanc 90th anniversary Meisterstuck Classique.

I hope it a good pen. I have considered that pen for a while, but my budget won't help me, especially if I'm 13 years old.

I have one. I think it is wonderful, and I am sure you wouldn't be disappointed if you like the size if the Classique range of pens.

 

I am saving for the Solitaire Special Edition version now which is very special in my eyes.

I have some comping, but the two I want ... I want one of the TWSBI's in Red Clear and Blue, and I want an antique pen with a certain overlay that I can't describe.

 

I am not holding my breath. I haven't had my birthday gift yet, so that might take care of the first. I think the second is a "Put five dollars in an envelope everything time you don't buy a pen for... a very long time....

First pen I've actually bought for Myself in probably close to a year.

 

P21SuperRed.JPG

 

The Red Parker Super 21 Mk II (Last rendition, convex clutch) the next closest thing to a P-51 Special.

 

The India Black Vac on the left I get to fondle and gawk at just long enough to stick it in the mail to one of my favorite FPNer restorers for him to restore and sell. We each went in together on the deal I found. I bought a Black Super 21 Mk I a few months ago for a Canuckian friend of mine, it was pretty nice but I wanted the last version and I wanted RED.

 

Not too shabby for $16 shipped (for the 21).

Hoping it's a certain Parker 45 but we'll see about that.

 

Otherwise a White Pilot Metro for work, to replace my Nemosine because the screw cap can be a little awkward when speed is sometimes of the essence. Or a pink Pilot Prera to replace my beloved Pilot Crystal in pink.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
