Nice! I really like the P57, esp in that color.

The Pirate pen is a new version, the old version had a BP there for writing over the eradication.

I have an 1980s era Pelikano, and it's a very nice writer for the five bucks (plus the cost of converter) that I paid for it.

The "Super Pirat" is a little silly, but presumably it's a school pen/starter pen for kids. The P57 is rather nice looking. I presume that they're both c/c pens?

Both are cartridge pens , and should take cartridge converters ...

One is a medium NIB P57 and the other a fine NIB .. So I wanted something to compare to Chinese Pens ..

And both would be Budget Pens ..

Ive always liked the P57s looks. It reminds me of Tron.

I like that nib style. They very nice and smooth steel nibs.

I've got the P55 Future pen with ist very similar to the P57 Style pen.

The "Super Pirat" is an ink eradicator. for school kids (Pelikan-Lamy-(Waterman?) blue; which are washable.)....I'm not sure if I still have the old one with the ball point instead of the nib or not. (I think I sent it to my god kid in the states with a handful of pens)

The German teachers wanted a generation ago, when I last knew a neighborhood family friend's kid well, very neat writing, even in the eradicated section, and a ball point did that better than a fountain pen.

 

Today, ball points are allowed. But I bet 'good' Teachers here in Germany are still very picky when it comes to a clean page of homework.

The eradication fluid must be better than before, when a fountain pen didn't write well over it, to have the ink eradicator have a nib.

 

Perhaps the teachers hoping to keep the kids writing with fountain pens are willing to take lumpy corrections. :)

      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

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
