Is this regarded as a special edition or a new variant on color selection?

 

Details are sketchy, but my feeling is SE.

I've heard from a UK retailer. There will be 1919 pens, all EF (it's to celebrate 100 years of Bauhaus). It'll be a polycarbonate and will come with some other bits, so the cost I heard was still high.

Thanks for the info.

That's a shame, I thought it was at least going to be in the same price bracket as the standard Makrolon.

I am not surprised.

Pricing will probably be similar to Black Amber, even though this is makrolon, because of the rarity (1919 vs 5000).

They call this a sneak preview and say it will be available in September.

The pricing isn't surprising.

It is the same, roughly, 2.5 times the standard model (metal in case of Black Amber and makrolon in case of the Blue LE).

 

This should be a lot easier to sell, owing to lower production and makrolon being more popular than metal.

The colour too would help. smile.png

The only nib option seems to be EF but since the nib section is the same as the makrolon, no reason why it cannot be swapped and you have access to all nib widths.

Swapping possibilities aside, why on earth would they all be EF....? 1919 pens with EF nibs? That's 1919 nibs that are of no use whatever to me. Anyway, at that price I wouldn't be in the queue anyway....

That would kill as a production line model, maybe they're testing the waters?

If that did happen, if would leave 1919 bitter customers. biggrin.png

That´s right. Easy to swap. The nib in the pic looks broader than EF. IMHO

Uh, nice....to sadden my wallet i think i am counted in...all in EF is a bit wired, but i can swap the nib with an other myself.

 

Broken and defect 2000‘s show up on the bay often regulary for relative little money, so nibsalvage is mostly an option. To be precise, i obtained several 2000‘s that way over the years, making a nice little fleet of them for super agessive inks or high particle dense inks. Summed up i have four for the price of not a single one new. The 2000 is nearly indestructable. Make two functional pens from three broken ones. Finish is easily restorable as it is brushed.

 

By the way, does anyone need a spare oblique broad or oblique medium nib?

      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
