A Religious-Centered Fountain Pen

not bad:)|

Maybe consider pairing it with Allen's bible paper journals? http://blackcover.net/?p=31
Just a thought.

"Writing is 1/3 nib width & flex, 1/3 paper and 1/3 ink. In that order."Bo Bo Olson

"No one needs to rotate a pen while using an oblique, in fact, that's against the whole concept of an oblique, which is to give you shading without any special effort."Professor Propas, 24 December 2010

 

"IMHO, the only advantage of the 149 is increased girth if needed, increased gold if wanted and increased prestige if perceived. I have three, but hardly ever use them. After all, they hold the same amount of ink as a 146."FredRydr, 12 March 2015

 

"Surely half the pleasure of life is sardonic comment on the passing show."Sir Peter Strawson

I would have thought that the Italix Parson's Essential would be... essential?

 

Filled, of course, with ESSRI...

Hello Father,

 

As others above have alluded to, Parker did make a perfect set for you in their 51 Series. It consisted of a 51 fountain pen with a matching pen styled unit that had a built-in Aspergillum. They were usually black with a silver Lustaroy cap, (some had the gold filled cap). Unfortunately, these sets are extremely hard to come by. I hope you're able to find a pen (pen set) that pleases you and is in accordance with Our Lord's Will.

 

May God bless, guide and keep you in this life, Father, so that you may have eternal joy with Him in the next. :)

 

Oremus pro invicem,

 

Christopher

Pelikan. Is not the pelican, who will willingly sacrifice itself to feed her children, a symbol of Christ's sacrifice for our sins?

the first through third instances of the Pelikan logo flow with Christian symbolism....

Well done... we may have a theologian in our midst. :)

 

I am a Deacon in the Orthodox Church. In the second stasis of the Lamentations of Great and Holy Saturday, we hear the following:

 

Like the pelican,

you gave life, O Word, to your dead children,

wounded in your side, you let life-blood flow,

letting fall life-giving drops of blood on all.

 

With all that said, I believe it was Krone who once had a limited edition Russian Orthodox pen. They also had a number of others, such as Moses, St. Patrick, Anno Domine, etc. Check their limited editions on the Fountain Pen Hospital site. All long gone, of course, and very expensive.

Peyton Street Pens (no affiliation) has a Parker 51 with a hand-painted biblical scene:

Best wishes to you in finding the pen you are looking for, Father!

What about one of the Italix pens - Churchman's Prescriptor, Parsons Essential pens??

http://www.mrpen.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d63.html

 

These are pens that are generally well thought of here and are reasonably priced as well.

I just had to have a look at them and decided I really needed another pen so bought the Parsons (mottled blue) with a bottle of Diamine Prussion Blue ink. I can definetly recommend the pen, the ink and the super fast service. I can't say it looks priestly though!

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
