Thank you. I think its the red tortoise as it got a lot of pocket time. The blue grey is new and has to be put through the paces.

Mine was a birthday gift from my husband just three weeks ago, plus a bottle of Edelstein Tanzanite.

Very juicy F, especially with Tanzanite.

Love it!

I got a B. On all three in fact. Would have got a BB if offered.

I applaud your self control. :)

Thank you. Yes the 101ns have been very good writers for me too.

my hands are twitching honestly :) but just a few more days now...

I would have liked to try a BB too, I got an M on this one, but I already have two Bs on another two M101N...I am thinking that one of the Bs would probably deserve to be stubbed.

I also like how juicy they are... :)

which other 101ns did you go for? I think I regret not getting the lizard. I had ample opportunity.

I did luck into a marbled gray W.Germany 200 with an OM nib in a live auction lot.

The tad more springy W.Germany regular flex nibs are that slight tad more springy than the 'post '90-97 regular flex. (One needs both to feel the difference.)

Have a W. Germany black small 600 with a OBB, that shows that same slightly more springy nib of the '82-90 era. It is as expected of the '82-97 era nibs, a half width narrower than the my modern 1005 OBB, which is a regular flex nib.....(Not the Bock made semi-flex 1000 nib.)

 

A half a Decade ago, I had the chance to get one of Pelikan's Pen of their Times or how ever, but even on sale was a bit out of reach......so I got the MB Woolf instead....it was much cheaper; even with both being 1/3 off. The MB is by far my most expensive pen.

(It was a birthday gift from my wife................I neglected to read the small print.............our money! :rolleyes: :doh: :headsmack:. took me some nine months before I could buy another pen, ink or piece of paper. :unsure:

I have a PF marked O3B on a 1000. Its a pretty rigid nib. I used to have a PF O2B 1000 which I foolishly traded away. These wider points are stiff rigid nibs. The PF F s and Ms are soft in my experience. I have no newer non PF 1000 nibs.

Ah yes! I got the Lizard just recently!

Not a bargain, but not more than it cost when out, probably something less.

I have the green and red tortoise, I love both, they are remarkable finishes.

I also got the bright red, I was not really planning to get this one, it just happened to be there in a shop window during a business trip, and price was reasonably discounted from list price, so I walked out with the purchase.

You know how it is, sometimes when you travel the opportunity makes the purchase. I've bought several of my pens this way, and it's also rather nice when using them to remember where they were bought, the chat with the seller, the visit to the shop, etc.

Keep looking for a lizard! It was the first one I got and IMHO it hasn’t been bettered in this series, much as I love the two reds. I just think the whole design and colouring hangs together the best.

I've got them all, so far, except for this recent grey blue. I prefer the tortoise ones, followed by the bright red, with the lizard coming last, as it were.

Now, if it had been a brown lizard - well that would have been a different matter altogether...

Can anyone post real world pics of the bright red? Does the pen have a separate binde?

If you give me a little while, I'll photograph it along with the rest, but it's still a little dark today!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
