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!

      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
