It’S Alive. Mwahaha! Falcon Frankenpen


Ichiro

Recommended Posts

So last year I had a broken Aurora Ipsilon body. I finally found a donor body from my Monteverdi Invincia deluxe. Success come with an addiction.......

 

So this year I wondered what else I could mix and match. I have recently acquired a pilot falcon resin which I adore. I do find the body light. So I thought 💡. Why not?

 

So my falcon section happens to screw right in. The disease is spreading

Congratulations. Always fun when things work out like this. Just a suggestion in case you didn't (or others are tempted to try this) - always measure to make sure that the nib will clear the end of the inner cap when you put the cap on. Excitement rapidly turns to panic when it doesn't and you find out when feels kind of funny when you screw the cap on. Been there, done that.....

We had a similar problem with a Leroy Fairchild nib inside a tiny Wahl ringtop. Luckily, Mr. Minuskin was able to straighten it out.

Of course I now have to do something with my headless falcon. Yep, pilot parallel fits perfectly with cartridge and caps screws on just fine

Congratulations, Ichiro, that Monteverde body and Falcon section actually look quite good together. :thumbup:

Anthony, this is for you....

 

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      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
