Time to clear a pen I never use. I would like to give away a Fountain Pen Revolution (FPR) Himalaya with gold trim in Saffron Orange acrylic fitted with an FPR B nib. I will Include an EF and two 1.0 nibs. Also, I will send you 3 of their Flex Nibs and 3 ebonite feeds. FPR’s push converter is installed.

 

This may be fun for someone who wants to tinker with nibs and feeds. I never got it to run well for my needs. 

 
First member to answer gets it. I will Mail anywhere provided cost is not ridiculous. 
 

Stay healthy.

Cheers,

Ozzy

How generous, omarcereno!

I love Himalayas.  I have one v2 (Indigo) and three v1s (both ebonites, and the Emerald acrylic) and find I prefer the smaller nibs.  My wife loves the beautiful acrylics, and has them all.  Saffron is a really lovely color, though I think she prefers the Sindoor Red.

Kevin's pens are sort of like a 1972 Lotus Elan.  When it's working, it's a wonderful thing, but prone to malfunction.  Now that I have my Himalayas working, I'm disinclined to play mix and match with extra nibs and feeds.  I've never bothered to get my Mufts fixed, because I prefer pens with more girth.

Lol, that is a perfect example of my experience.

I would call this a perfect review, thanks for the accessibility of the explanation!!!

Hey Sam, the ebonite feeds hat i sent can be placed in hot water before installing the nib and feed into the section. This lets the feed conform to the nib or something like that.

      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
