Recife owners?

[twigletzone]

Hi all,

 

Have been looking for reviews of Recife pens and not finding any - anyone out there own one and care to comment? Or link me to all the reviews I failed to find?

I have one of their 'crystal' eyedroppers with a gold plated steel nib. Nice pen - I tend to use it for drawing more than writing (pretty hard nib). I think I may have one of their others around somewhere, perhaps a travel pen?

Had a bunch of them , I mean, well , generally nice to had , decent quality , but noting really special, but I do agree the ' Crystal " series of Eyedropper ( actually it can use a converter ) are very nice, hold loads of ink and a very very reliable feed , they tend to write a bit too wet though. But do know this is a fashion brand , so expect a bit of pricing along that kind of thing , and many of their model are OEM , and you can find similar or even same model from their Chinese / Indian partner.

 

you can find the brand at web address at Recife.Paris

Bought one 15 or so years ago, nice ED pen, I haven't used it much the last decade.

I recently bought a Recife Traveler, on sale.  Haven't inked it yet.  Once I do, I will post a review.

I have a red Recife Crystal, and it writes very well.  I would love to find other colors.  Can you tell me where to find 'similar or same' Chinese/Indian models?

ASA pens of India had a bunch of similar , and I think FPR too , had not check recently but I do recall seeing them there .. some of Recife's metal pen are Chinese OEM alright but you need to simply browse the usual place, you know the auction and retail sites , Amazon etc ...

I Received a Recife Crystal as a present about 25 years ago. During at least 10 years it was my only one pen that I used  daily as an eyedropper without any problems, carrying it in the inner pocket of my jacket. The feed is excellent and can regulate the flow correctly without blurbs until the barrel is empty (at least 3,5ml). The sealing was good enough without any need of silicone grease. Eyedroppers are definitely the most practical filling system. My old reliable trusty work companion for many years before I fell in the rabbit hole...

Anyone has tried or owned the Recife Baoshi Soyouz?

Found a couple of sellers on eBay with Opal and Citrine Models. Love their look.

Looks similar to ST Dupont.

My pen shattered (maybe already on this thread) upon re-use after a long time sitting in the pen basket.

My Recife Crystal became my daily use pen quite a few years ago. It has a medium nib, generally writes well - mine is not too wet or dry, depending on the ink I'm using. The 1/8 oz. reservoir is a terrific plus if you write a lot and don't want to worry about refilling. The first one I owned developed a small, thin fracture at the thread. I sent a photo of it to Recife in France and without asking anything else, they sent me a nice note and a replacement pen. It's held up beautifully.

It is a largish pen with good balance with the cap not posted. When I post the cap I find it a bit top heavy.

Definitely a solid, reliable pen for the price.

Star one century fountain pen is currently listed on penhouse.in for ₹200 (USD 2.5 or so) which is very similar to a Recife crystal. Filling system is converter or eyedropper. Shown in the picture is an older listing with gold trims and medium nib (#35). Currently silver trims and fine nib FPs are listed in 5 colours.
