Friends,

I have an Aurora Ipsilon that came with an M painted on its body. I tought it was only a sticker, but not. It was silk-screened.

Is that common?

 

 

Regards

No, is not common.

Maybe a tester pen to be exposed in shops?

In Japan for example common pens are displayed for testing, one for each nib available.

Is the nib a medium? If so, maybe you can just rub the 'M' off since it might just designate the nib size.

With an Aurora Ipsilon what other designation could 'M' have? Also, the manner of the application indicates it was done by the factory and not by a dealer.

Yes, I am pretty sure it was done by the factory. I will it send to a Pen specialist so he can see if it is possible to be erased, since it is painted. Hope it works as I like that much to write with this one.

Yes it is medium. I will send to someone to try to erase this painting. That really bothers me off a lot.

      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

      @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
