Dillo Donor Pen

Hi,

 

No, as Platignum is British and Platinum is Japanese.

 

Platignum is now owned by Universal and is relatively dormant as of now.

 

Dillon

Stolen: Aurora Optima Demonstrator Red ends Medium nib. Serial number 1216 and Aurora 98 Cartridge/Converter Black bark finish (Archivi Storici) with gold cap. Reward if found. Please contact me if you have seen these pens.

Please send vial orders and other messages to fpninkvials funny-round-mark-thing gmail strange-mark-thing com. My shop is open once again if you need help with your pen.

Will someone with the name of "Jay" who emailed me through the email system provide me an email address? There was no email address provided, so I can't write back.

Hi sabzdoodle,

 

Standard and international (short) cartridges are the same thing. The "standard" long cartridges are Waterman's.

 

As far as I can remember, Osmiroid used Parker cartridges last time I tried cartrdiges with those, but someone else will have to help out with the Platignum.

 

Anyway, I guess I didn't really answer the question :D, but I do hope you'll forgive me :D.

 

Warm regards, Wim

i have waterman cartridges. yes too long but schaeaffer (however it's spelled) right length but too fat to pop into the opposite end of the nibby thingy. parker will fit like a waterman. i had a platignum pen about 10 years ago in a calligraph set but i have no more cartridges to compare it to & besides i was 10 years old & quite destructive.....

 

so to put this into not confusing words. i need a cartridge that is as long as a scheaffer but narrow like a waterman (a lot cheaper than cross). so what size type etc. cartridge is that?

The Platignum calligraphy pens take the short and long standard (Pelikan) cartridges, so I suspect the regular fountain pens might as well. (I still have a bunch of Platignum calligraphy pens, because I loved the extra-fine italic nibs. They stopped being available here in the 1990s, if memory serves.)

i bought a box of 12 of the school pens on ebay. i'm not mad that i can't easily find cartridges. it's actually a good learning experience. i didn't realize that the fountain pen is a really popular writhing instrument. (well at least in the UK!!)

 

thank you all for the help.

      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
