Summit S175 mk3

Recommended Posts

Hi there.

 

Just received my long awaited S175 Summit.

A really lovely pen and an exceptional writer to boot. For an older pen also in really good condition with minimal signs of use. Last image pictured with my Pilot 845 for size comparison.

I sold a chevroned hard rubber Summit with an oblique italic nib. I'm kind of sorry I sold it because they are nice pens. Largely overlooked in vintage circles I suspect.

A great acquisition, Marten, well done. The S. 175 mk 3 was Summit's postwar flagship pen until the introduction, in the late 1940s. Your example is the beautiful mk 3a, with the large n. 720 nib. Later, the S. 175 mk 3 was sold equipped with the standard n. 555 nib, as the larger point was shifted to the S. 185. The S. 175 mk 3 was also sold in sets: here is mine, together with a P. 175 mechanical pencil, in maroon colour

      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
