Beatufiful pen. And I like the Pickwicks

Pen 22 - another Conway Stewart - the budget 70

Lovely review. I have a feeling that the original CS believed a fine writing experience was fundamental to their brand, regardless of how little or how much you were willing to pay for decoration. Sad that such ideas seem to be old-fashioned today outside Japan.

Thanks for your comment Ron. I think you are correct, but I suppose a part of that fundamental writing quality is down to fountain pens being functional tools back in the 50s, whereas now they are largely fun, collectors items, and many people just buy them for the appearance or how it makes them feel, rather than the way they write.

 

Pen 23 is another of my favourites. This pen definitely makes my top 5 - a Waterman Edson Boucheron

Tha Waterman Edson is a superb pen.Thank you for the review.

Hmm,

 

Sadly, I have used up my 4.88mb of allowed image hosting and cannot post anymore.

Aside from trying to host elsewhere and using a BBCode, does anybody know if I can expand my image attachment allowance here on FPN?

I'd be happy to sponsor a little if it comes with higher hosting capabilities, but I cannot seem to find any such info in the rules and guidelines.

I hope you find a way to continue, but even if not, thanks for some wonderful reviews of wonderful pens.

I'm not great at image manipulation, but I have now realised that I can continue to post my mini reviews by using the "upload" function at the top of the page. I have tried to make a collage to reduce the image size. Let's see if this works.

 

This pen will be pen 26 - A Conway Stewart Churchill Combination pen in grey quartz.

Are you able to begin another thread such as "Handwritten Reviews 2"?

Are you able to begin another thread such as "Handwritten Reviews 2"?

 

Probably a good idea? Is this one a bit too pic heavy and tedious to go through?

I'm planning to make up these pic collages of all the pens already reviewed, and edit the posts to remove all the attachments already on this post, and replace with a single image. It will look better and ease up my attachment allowance.
