Man that is a GREAT looking pen. And ebonite--love it!

I'm not familiar with the nib... how does it write? Steel or gold?

I may not have been much help, but I DID bump your thread up to the top.

Your work is impressive, what a beautiful pen! I can‘t read the nib imprint. Is that a vintage Italian Radius nib you used? That would make it even better.

Thanks. Then it should be a great writer if the nib is tuned well. Did it come with it‘s original feed? Radius nibs had a very good reputation. I’m not familiar with Wedlich, unfortunately.

Wow she's a looker.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

The pen is simply beautiful, and I'm captivated by the red transparent ink view. For me, a most alluring aspect is being a PF and not a c/c/ED. Congratulations.

      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

      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
