Here is what may just be the first published spy photo of the FPN LE Pen. As is typical of such shots, it's a quick, down and dirty image, so the quality isn't great. But it's a taste to whet your appetites for what's coming in the mail . . . any day now . . . :)

And in case you wondered what 114 pens look like when squeezed into the cargo area of a Subaru Outback:

I'd like to echo my thanks to you for your efforts in bringing this to fruition. By the way, did you get one for yourself? :)

James,

 

Thank you for all your effort and support for this project.

 

Since I won't see it for a few days (I'm heading your way in the morning and will miss it by a couple of hours), I have a question: Is the nib in the photo the 14K version? The steel version has the rhodium finish, correct?

Hi Bill,

 

Bring your bike - we can go for a ride. My road bike is temporarily out of commission with a loose bottom bracket, so I'm riding the Javelin 'Cross these days. I could even hook you up with a pair of these:

Answering your questions, that's the 18K nib. The steel one is Rhodium-plated.

I would also like to add my thanks for your hard efforts and all the people that worked on this project. The gold nib looks really good with the blue. I am looking forward to receiving mine too. :bunny01: :bunny01: :bunny01:

Why thanks for the picture - and thank you very much for all the work you've done on this! Appreciate the picture, as I'm out of town until Saturday eve, so one of those boxes will be sitting unopened at my house with my darling wife wondering again what I got ;)

Sorry everyone - Only 114 of the FPN LE pens were made and they nearly sold out before they even arrived. The remaining half-dozen went so fast that the one I had set aside for myself got snatched up in the melee, so I find myself penless as well. :(

 

However, they seem to have been incredibly successful and, perhaps the Admins would be willing to authorize another run of the pen, provided Howard can get more of the necessary materials. If not this pen, I've a feeling that other FPN pens are in the cards for some future date.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @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
