Vasilis,

I think the 12G is from the '60-70 era, from when I looked it up.

 

Misfit, I just noticed what a nice nib you put on your Kaweco and your very nice handwriting.

The Reality Show is a riveting result of 23% being illiterate, and 60% reading at a 6th grade or lower level.

      Banker's bonuses caused all the inch problems, Metric cures.

Once a bartender, always a bartender.

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

@Bo Bo Olson thank you for the compliment. 
 

Some day, I’ll get all my Kaweco pens together for a photo. Until then, here is the newest.

There was a red box that seems to have added a touch of red to the pen.

Got this Kaweco x Hello Kitty Stardust pen Friday. It’s transparent, and came with the keychain. No nib choice; it comes with a Fine nib. Miss Kitty’s face is on the nib.

'60-70 semi-flex gold F nib, blind cap piston Kaweco. I hope this picture stays. No idea why Imgur bounced it. The other pen is a very delightful, well-balanced, lively, semi-flex MB 32 gold nib.

It wasn't quite in the same class as my # 2 pen for great balance, a Geha 725, but until I tested them I had thought that MB had a chance at matching that 725.

I do recommend a MB 32...if semi-flex. I have an MB 320, nail that will be sold. Nib hardness for me makes a huge difference, I don't like nails. For shading inks, I like regular flex with a good springy ride...Pelikan 200's or old Wearever's. C8vJeJp.jpg

My newest Kaweco arrived in the mail today. It’s the Kaweco x Goldspot collaboration called Sea Spray. It has glitter. I chose the BB nib.

It looks so nice! I am super curious about this one. There is a very similar looking LE on a German site https://www.papierundstift.com/en/products/kaweco-fuller-sport-x-papier-stift?variant=51406270365963 and I wonder if it could be the same material. Does this look greenish in different light? I'm pretty sure I can't hold off from buying that Papier und Stift one much longer...

@Cherries yes, it does look greenish sometimes. Thank you for your comments. Kaweco pens have become a bit of an obsession for me. The Hello Kitty pen looks good with the Kaweco Collection Lavender pen. 
 

Please post a photo if you buy the Papier und Stift version.

For @Cherries

 

Here are the Kaweco AL Iguana Blue, the Sport Sea Spray, and the Kaweco Collection Cyan. I’m not sure if this helps see green in the pen. But hopefully it helps.

If you scroll to the photo with a lot of Sea Spray pens, against a blue background, they do look like they have green in them.

Thank you for your replies, Misfit! ☺️

That adorable Hello Kitty Sport is unfortunately out of my reach. I do have the Lavender one to enjoy though. I'm sure they make a super cute combo!

Thank you so much for sharing the picture! I can see that there is some green in the pen. (All of these 3 are so pretty!) I will post a pic here if I do end up getting the papier & stift one.

Here's the German Papier & Stift shop exclusive Sport. It is a seafoamy green, slightly transparent with glitter and some pearliness. Sailor Shitoshito is a great match.

I am not a good photographer of pens -- lighting problems; but here is my 1930s Dia 85 with (very) flexy nib.  It was bought, some years ago, from Dragan of ProtoPens, as NOS (hidden away from the communists by the children of a dealer who was about to lose his stock and discovered years later).

 

I have just noticed, also, a faint 121 etched on the barrel -- I wonder what that signifies?

And I forgot to put it under a lamp and then check if it glows in the dark.

Update. It glows but taking a decent photo is a pain in your bottom!
