Pif: 3 Pens (Pilot Prera; Cultpens Pocket Pen; Kaweco Sport)


stephanos

Recommended Posts

I have three pens available to give away in what is effectively three separate PiFs.

 

WHAT?
1. Pilot Prera, F nib, clear with smoky ends
2. Cult Pens by Kaweco, 2B nib, black & shiny metal
3. Kaweco Sport, M nib, ice green finish (with clip)

 

Each pen is small and writes well. The Prera is the largest (least small), and the CultPens the smallest. Reviews of each are readily available. Each pen has been lightly used.

HOW TO ENTER
Respond via this thread, saying which one pen you are entering for.

 

 

WHAT THE WINNERS GET
Each winner will get the pen they have won, without a converter.
I will cover the cost of postage to an address of your choice, securely packed but not in the original box.
If you want me to send your pen insured and/or tracked, then you will need to pay for that, at cost.

 

 

ELIGIBILITY
Anyone may enter, EXCEPT for those who won something from me in last year's PiF.

But you may enter for only one pen. For avoidance of doubt, there are effectively three different competitions, each with a different winner.

 

 

CONDITION OF ENTRY
* If you win a pen, you agree to not sell your prize. If you decide it's not for you, then please give it to someone who will appreciate it.

 

 

PROCESS
This PiF will run until the end of Monday 16 November (as long as you enter by 23:59:59 in your time-zone, you're fine).
Thereafter, I will make three random draws and select three winners, announced on this thread.
I reserve the right to take some time to make the draw and send the pens off (pressures of work, etc).

 

 

NOTES
* If you have more posts than me on FPN (282 at time of posting this), you're still very welcome to enter the competition; but please do not do so unless it's for a pen that's been on your list for a while.
* Note that Cult Pens is a UK-based seller, and the Prera can be quite expensive in Europe - if you are unsure of which to enter for, I suggest you let your physical location guide you.
* For the pernickety amongst us: The Prera most recently had blue ink in it, the CultPens, purple, and the Kaweco had green ink. I have cleaned each pen, but traces of ink may remain.

 

Why am I doing this? Two-fold, First, I have received a lot from this forum over the previous year, and I want to give something back. Second, these are all good quality pens, and I'm not using them: they will hopefully make someone else happy (my experiment with small & pocket pens was a complete success: I have a clear answer to my question of whether I would use them).

What a kind offer! I'd like to enter for the Cult Pens 2B Nib pen. I love bold lines of ink and don't have anything broader than a medium nib.

How lovely, thank you. I would appreciate being considered for the Kaweco sport. Thanks

I would love to enter for the Kaweco Sport. I have very recently established that this particular model can be made to work as a demonstrator eyedropper, where you can see the ink colour inside the barrel, and I would love to try out this experiment on this Kaweco.

 

Thank you for putting up this fabulous PIF.

Outstanding and spectacularly generous! I've been eyeing a Kaweco for quite some time, so I'm in for the Cult Pens by Kaweco, please.

Well this is very generous.

 

Put me down for the Kaweco Sport, which by the way is my workhorse pen and I would love to have another as an eyedropper conversion.

 

Thank you kindly

I have several pens and I wouldn't like to take the chance from a beginner to get a pen and start a most fascinating hobby. My respects to the op for this generous offer!

Well said dompred. This is a very generous PIF and should be perfect for those new to fountain pens who haven't yet acquired multiple pens :-)

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
