Reform Calligraph Pif

Recommended Posts

Hello lovely people,

 

This is my first Pif, so excuse if I botch something up.

 

Somehow somewhere I have found myself in the possession of a Reform Calligraph fountain pen with a BB nib (double broad?). As I cannot write comfortably with anything bigger than a fine and it also pains me to have a pen that I don't use in my tiny (newbie fp) collection I would like to give this one to someone else.

 

As you can see from the pictures below it has seen some of the world before coming in my possession and the "gold" plating is beginning to flake of at some points. I have cleaned it as best I could (flushed it for about two Goulet Q&A episodes) and it seems to be ok now.

 

If you would like this pen please raise your hand until sunday 22. feb.

As I understand, I should then make a random draw and I contact you via private message and and post the result here.

 

Cheers!

Nice pen and PIF. :). There are no rules - it's your PIF and you can do it however you like.

Yes please!! I recently got into fountain pens for the italic and broad nibs... (anything to help my terrible handwriting!). Lovely PIF!

Count me in too, I do like a broad nib, and enjoy trying to "write fancy"

Very generous of you.

Please enter me into this PIF!!!! I love B nibs and can't write comfortably with anything smaller than a M. I would love to try out a BB one!

This would be awesome as I've never tried anything thicker than a medium and I am really interested.

 

Count me in!

Please count me in.

I'm interested in that particular pen, and it has not been easy to find.

Hello,

firstly - wow, what a response :)

 

To the person who asked:

 

I'm in too!!!! \o/

 

Just asking, how will you choose? By random.org?

 

Anyway, I'm very very interested! ^_^

 

Yes, I will do a random draw, with a screenshot and all.

 

As for the following:

 

Please count me in.

I researched Fpn before deciding to put this pen here. I've seen some people were interested in it, but honestly I didn't feel comfortable putting the pen for sale. I didn't buy it neither do I know what sort of ink was put inside it before I got it in my possession + the dinged up outside doesn't help either, so I can not guarantee full satisfactory pen enjoyment.

 

It is a very funny pen (particularly the nib, it looks like a little piglet's nose), very useful for drawing and possibly for highlighting purposes, but as I said, I just can't use it - the nib is just odd :)

I will be glad if it gets a home in which it can be useful.

 

See Read you guys on sunday!

Wow. What a nib! If the PIF is open to folks on my part of the blue marble, I'd love to enter.

      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
