I thought Kaweco is one of the oldest pen brands from Germany and it needs the thread where people can show of their Kaweco instruments.

 

So hereby I request all to show us their Kawecos.

 

Would love to know a lot about vintage ones too.

The Bock nib is very interesting; would definitely keep the non -FP users guessing.

I have two Kawecos. One is a modern Sport model. The other is a v14s Masterpiece from the 1960s. I'm impressed by the brand. However, I had the sad converter that comes with the Sport. Hopefully the new converter is better. I love the built in piston in the vintage pen. It was awesome.

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
