While i am here waiting for my first Sheaffer. It's just a plain black-silver sheaffer 100. I have never been writing with a Sheaffer so i dont know what to expect

Hi Schaden,

Sheaffer 100 is an excellent writer.But I'd request you to collect a Prelude or a Sagaris . Sheaffer fountain pens are really really nice.In fact my Legacy Heritage(the 1st one from the left in the posted image,the thickest one) is smoother than my Mont Blanc 145.

I had never touched a Sheaffer before so i bought Sheaffer 100 in Matte Black (has not arrived yet) to get a first impression, to find out whether or not i will buy the more expensive ones.

 

From the looks, the matte black version is lovely even though the whole design may look plain. But the more fountain pens i am using, the more i find out that i am looking for a work horse of a pen, which doesnt easily break if my pen falls on the ground (like my Visconti which i baby because i imagine it will break in pieces if it falls in the ground. At the end of the day, it is non sense to me to have an expensive fountain pens only to find out that once they fall, they break)

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
