Hello from Jakarta, my name is Jeremy. I just started using fountain pen for about a month. My first FP was pilot metropolitan, now I started to collect more FPs. I bought this Parker yesterday at a vintage bazaar in Jakarta, and I don't know what type of Parker it is

Can anybody tell me about it? and also what's the function of the thing that came with it?

I also bought an Ero pen made in Germany

Glad to join you all!

Thanks for the welcomes

 

VirtuThe3rd, I'm sure I will enjoy it here :)

PAKMAN, thanks for your answer. I really like the way it looks, and I also got it very cheap :D

FPs are expensive here, so I'm starting to collect vintage or secondhand FPs that still work.

My only FPs that I bought in new condition are pilot metropolitan and jinhao 250

I used to write with ballpoints, because I live in the generation that never use FPs before.

 

Nice to have a good discussion with you all

Regards,

Welcome !

 

The Parker 45 is my favorite fountain pen. It is easily maintained. I think the odd item might be a letter opener. Does the curved blade have a sharp edge ?

I'm not sure if it is a letter opener. It has a curved needle. Maybe it's for cleaning purpose

      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
