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.

Excellent thread, thank you. I would certainly be interested in a modern piston fill Kaweco.

Oh i guess we all will be..

And maybe some stock gold nib option..

      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

      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
