Actually Forgot I Had Another Pen...

Forgot that I had another pen for over two years now, probably because it was a very cheap ebay find and was just a steel nib and I didn't give much thought about even trying it that it just sat in a coffee cup next to my copic markers waiting for the day that I would actually disassemble it and clean it up.


I think it's a late 60s Imperial cartridge due to the v-cutout.

I love those Sheaffer inlaid nibs! I'm using almost the same pen right now, it's pretty much my favourite pen.

Seems to work well, has a slight sharp architect thing going on with the nib (thicker cross strokes that's a little toothy, with very thin downstroke that's smooth).

I have several of that variety and enjoy writing with all of them - one is inked and in my pocket right now (but not getting any ink on my pocket).

If I was in the States I'd have a collection of those Sheaffers.

 

Just because you got lucky on Ebay don't make it a 'cheap' pen. I got lucky a few of times.

The stainless steel cap seems better than many.

Well cheap in the sense that the pen itself just seemed not much different to me in feel compared to say some of the sheaffer school pens I've had/etc. Not necessarily my style, can't even remember why I got it exactly lol (might have gotten it thinking it was something else from poor imagery).

      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
