Beautiful beautiful pen Pravda. I never really liked the skeleton models so much but now seeing your pen I am most intrigued, just like how you and Tom introduced me into the149s. I might have to save up for it!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments / compliments :)

 

I am happy you also like the pictures, it is the best I could do with my iPhone's camera.

 

There's one left to post, the comparison of the two 90 Years Anniversary nibs F vs OBBB:

Get that plastic off the section Pravda, the pen is a keeper... Unless you want to sell it to me. :)

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

I left the plastic on until the nib installation date (yesterday) just in case the technician is clumsy :) then I thought why not leave it should there be any friction when capping it etc since it's sticking neatly.

 

But you're right! It might accumulate moisture underneath from flushing etc. it's going off now

Thank you so much for the very nice nib comparison photo.

After taking a close look at it, the difference in the writing surface between the two nibs is striking.

As I've never owned an F nib, the photo was especially interesting.

      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
