I was passing by some kinda flea market ( vide greniers for french people ). The guy thought he made a good deal by selling me 2 broken pen that nowbody wanted. But I , I was only interested by the nibs. So I bought 2 18 kt gold nibs for only 20 euros one is a Unic semi flex nib with a heart shaped whole that writes like a dream the second one is a waterman .

Lucky you. Unic nibs are of great quality. Well done.

Show us a writting sample, please, Velvet.

 

The shade of the lacquer is a beauty!

The nib is the best nib that I ever owned. But is a bit too juicy for this feeder. Now I have put the waterman nib, not as good not as consistent.

I must say I am quite chocked with your choice of sentence, Velvet. Unexpected.

Sorry this was the song I was listening to by the Libertines . It was ironic from me as I hate my job.

Perhaps you might want to look up the historic use of the phrase.

Any new progress? Velvet. It's impressive. I am wondering where can we buy similar stuff in US.

Hi raivtash,

 

Here s some quick update :

I am stil working on the third prototype which has two version ( the first two prototype were miss ) for 4 months now. It s time a consumming hobby but I am nearly done. Unfortunately I have also lost the vintage flex nib during this process.

I will post some pictures next week

Here is the final version after 1 years of research & experimentation. I have made a few. One as a gift for a friend, one for me, and one for sale. This pen took me more than 6 months to make.

I could not update very regularly because since the begining of this thread , I moved 3 or 4 times from one place to another, had troubles, jobs, studies. This is the end of my experimentation. I hope you all have enjoyed this and some of you will be inspired to make something similar
