My 2c... For WE, I rate the Imperial Dragon as #1, next Christie, Proust, Wilde and Hemmingway.

For the newer ones I like the Tolstoy too. It will appreciate in a few years, as is the Mann.

Definitely won't touch Dickens, Kafka (cartridge???) and I don't like Shaw, Poe and Fitzgerald.

 

PoA - lucky for me to get the #88/4810 of Morgan, no money to buy others unfortunately but I would like an Octavian if the price is right. Had the Medici for a week but it does nothing to me.

Best regards, Kai

I don't think Imperial Dragon is considered a WE. It think i was it's own thing for 2000, similar to the Qing dynasty in 2002.

 

Kafka is a captured converter. The worst of both worlds since the capacity is lower, it rattles a bit and if it starts to leak you cannot replace it yourself. It is still a special pen for me though as i like the nib and it is a 2004, the year my daughter was born. It was a father's day gift for me.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

      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
