My dream pen! ;-) Now if it were only an eyedropper, course you would empty an entire bottle of ink in one filling. Write for a year or thereabouts.

 

What is the length posted, about 9”?

Several makers made Ultra-Gaints (more as an advetising ploy than with any real thought to being a practical user. A few that spring to mind are a Dunn, and a Moore's. However, in the late twenties(?) Snapfil literature lays claim to making both the world's largest and smallest pens.

The Namiki Emperor is the biggest pen in modern production, to the best of my knowledge. It's an eyedropper filler.

 

I have no idea as to the biggest pen in history, but I have a strong feeling it is still the Emperor.

This is the biggest I have ever seen: it is a MONTEGRAPPA fountain pen “Jumbo” size. (Seems to me the same pen of George). Dimensions: 8 7/8” in length capped – 7/8” in diameter. Iridium nib. It works with cartriges. This was a gift of "VESPA - PIAGGIO" scooter sellers. Ciao G.

      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

      @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
