Pfm-Iv And V Difference: Just The Cap, Right?

Recommended Posts

Good morning all,

Some days I think my brain is way older than the rest of me...

 

The difference between the PFM-IV and V is that the IV has the two-tone cap and the V has the gold tone cap, right?

Both pens are the same from nib to metal base plate aren't they?

 

Thanks!

greg

I though only the V had the gold on the base of the blind cap.

 

PenHero and PenSpotters (for two) reference the gold plate/ heel on the 4. I'm pretty sure we're solid there.

Thanks, greg

Slightly off topic, do PFM demonstrators ever show up at the major US shows and what kind of price are they fetching these days?

I can only offer one data point. At the LA Show in Feb of this year, I saw three (though probably more were there that I missed,) priced between $700 and $1100.

Best Regards, greg

Forgot about the Autograph.

Thanks!

Thanks Greg, nice to know that they are still showing up. Prices seem reasonable.

I though the the PFM autograph is PFM III with 14 k stamped on the cap band because cap band and clip are solid 14 k gold. Normal plastic Tessie, not the gold plated end.

All the Autographs I've seen have a GP end.

Thanks Greg for the confirmation. It's always good to be corrected. I haven't seen any PFM autograph and my information was based on Richard Binder's website.

      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
