Hello everyone here at FPN, this is my first publication this year and I take this opportunity to show you my most recent acquisition.

 

I made this purchase on eBay at a good price and it is a very interesting vintage flexible fountain pen:
Measures length: 5 inches
Brand: Unknown
Pen material: Ebonite
Clip material: Steel
Overlay material: I don't know
Filling system: Eyedropper
Ink capacity: 3ml
Nib: 14K Warranted # 8 flex
Flow: Wet
It is a fairly light and comfortable pen to use and is quite fun to use and enjoy its flexible nib and its fed is quite generous, but it requires me somewhat decent paper since the feed is wet.
Next I will show you the photos of the fountain pen and some writing samples using flex and another without flex.

Very nice. That's a pretty pen, and clearly the nib is special.

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Don't know if the price was good, but the pen is a beauty and you'll enjoy using it like crazy. Congratulations!

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

Very nice!

I may be mistaken, but didn't MONTBLANC make these heart-shaped breather-hole nibs, also for other companies?

      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
