sanjinp Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Well, I have attend my first pen show, the one in Cologne on April 1st.I was planing to buy one or two pens and at the end decided on Mabie Todd Swan Leverless 205/60 with flex gold nib. Nicely restored, very smooth and wet writer, I love it.Bought it from kind and helpful Sarj Minhas (one man pen show!) on whose table(s) I spent half of my time at the show The other two I bought on eBay:1940s Bayard Excelsior 560 Standard in excellent condition.Leningrad Soyuz - never saw one of those before - nice wet writer.

senzen Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Niiice... That Bayard is particularly gorgeous, any chance of a peek at the nib? "The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." B. Russell Link to post Share on other sites
sanjinp Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Niiice... That Bayard is particularly gorgeous, any chance of a peek at the nib?Of course! The nib is a fine (maybe even towards extra fine), no flex, fairly smooth, and the pen is overall a pleasant writer. Link to post Share on other sites
