Is this also known as "Incredible Orange"?

 

I've heard rumors of them beginning to arrive, and one report that someone walked into a US ship and bought one. Sadly mine has not got a tracking number, but I've inquired with my vendor.

Appelboom supposedly already has it in stock, as of the end of last week; but my order is being held up by Pelikan Edelstein Golden Lapis, so no, my pre-order hasn't even been dispatched yet.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Pelikan Perch had a nice video on that pen, that shows more liveliness. Perhaps Tom needed a bit more light.

Some of the sellers show it as a lighter pen....but it's good to see what it looks like in real lighting.

The Reality Show is a riveting result of 23% being illiterate, and 60% reading at a 6th grade or lower level.

      Banker's bonuses caused all the inch problems, Metric cures.

i’m impressed that @Tom Kellie yet again is one of the first to acquire and post a gorgeous photograph of the latest cool pen. Nice job Tom! That rose gold is pretty slick.

2 copies? For two-handed writing? 😃

 

Are they as nice looking as the press photos? Mine is still in transit from my favorite supplier, but I am eagerly anticipating its arrival, also with an EF nib.

Thanks Tom for the more lighted picture. I have started to dither...I'm good at dithering.

~ @Bo Bo Olson : Thank you so much.

 

For years this forum has benefitted from your comments and insights, whether dithering or not.

 

The M200 Copper Rose Gold is a modest yet noteworthy fountain pen, as the hues of copper and rose gold are pleasingly complementary.

 

It was the only time I'd ever acquired two of the same fountain pen model.

 

The EF is reliable and the B with a Fritz Schimpf Italic Grind has surprised me with its above average writing.

 

The ink in the B nib is L'Artisan Pastellier Callifolio Teodora.

I've ordered from Fritz before...and will have to look up the Italic Grind.

My B&M don't have a nib meister on call. The one I could have recommended...a local gold smith trained in the DDR/E.Germany on nibs....moved.

Italic Grind, sharper than CI?

~ @Bo Bo Olson: Not so much sharper as crisper.

 

There's a natural precision yet without any trace of scratchiness.

 

A Fritz Schimpf Italic Grind has a smooth ink flow with the pleasing precision of Cursive Italic.

 

It's highly satisfactory for extended usage.

It would be a bit in my B&M's face ( I like him&wife...and twice sat in an near by Auction House right next to his mother...I can remember her working there) to order the pen from him and the nib from Fritz....so I'll be a Gent:unsure:, if and when.

I wanted to give it shout out to my enablers: I've ordered a M200 Copper Rose Gold Broad with a custom italic grind from Fritz Shrimpf. Thanks also to @N1003U for the paper and ink recommendations. I'm looking forward to my first haul from this lovely shop.

And I thought 100 inks was a lot....I know there are others with many more....but looking at DillitanteG's small collection...showed me I'm still an ink 'noobie'.

~ @DilettanteG: Thank you for letting us know.

 

My experience with the B nib and a Fritz Schimpf Italic Grind has been consistently favorable.

 

May you enjoy the same overall positive writing experience.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
