Lady Patricia Experts

Recommended Posts

Would Lady Patricia pens manufactured in the USA, Canada, England or other countries have been issued with a nib stamped 'Unique Medium' i.e. no Waterman's stamp. I do not have a picture of the nib in question...yet.

 

Also, is this Moss Agate or Nacre (sellers very poor picture)

 

 

 

thanks

Hi Force,

Sounds like a replacement nib. I know of no Lady Patricia pens issued with non-Waterman nibs.

Yes, Moss Agate.

Best Regards, greg

Don't feel bad. I'm old; I'm meh about most things.

Thank you. I thought as much. The seller is being very cagey about the pen especially the nib.

Cagey seller + blurry photo = probably a bad idea.

Unless, that is, the price is really reasonable. Replacement nibs (Waterman #2?) are still out there. I have a Moss Agate Lady Pat with a fine manifold nib. I wove an imaginary life for the pen's previous owner making her a well paid book-keeper, as it wasn't a cheap pen back then.

Sure, if the price is really nice, then a gamble might be in order. I've made a few over the years, but have not always made out. The Jade below was my best gamble. Terrible photo, and no response from the seller, but I took a shot.

Great collection of pens.

 

In my case the seller was a chancer. The listing has now been removed.

That is too bad, Force. But better to find out before you send the money.

 

Todd, the pen sort of belongs. It is effectively a Lady Patricia, just badged differently. :)

Too bad, i'm sorry..
I like to gamble on this kind of insertions too, since i've not all that money to invest on my collection and i like the feeling of having bought something i can assume is a better pen of what photos/descriptions tells me..
Sometimes it goes well sometimes not so.. but if the price was reasonable, a Waterman's Patrician is a commit someone can assume ;)

      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..

      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
