What a great collection of demonstrators you've got. I'm not into them, but can surely appreciate them - especially in such great photos. I like the frosted Stipula Etruria (even if I would prefer silver trims to go with it) - I've never seen that frosted plastic on a pen before.

Wow! Patrick, are those all yours?! You really do like demonstrators!

 

Here is my one. Omas Ogiva Vision, GT:

No, I only own the Pelikan M800 and the Dollar for now, but I like really like them and intend to buy more .

[PinarelloOnly]

[Doug C]

You are truly the King of the Demos..............

[SMG]

I'm still kicking myself for not picking up one of those when World Lux had them on clearance for $100. I didn't know what they were then, much less that the older pens from OMAS are the only well-made ones. Beautiful pen you've got there, enjoy it.

Hi Tsujigirl ! Are you implying that modern Omas pens are not well-made ? Please clarify.

[acfrery]

Madly in love with clear demonstrators!

Thanks, Tsujigirl. I feel like the luckiest person, having this pen. A friend offered it to me in a trade, and it's been a favorite writer ever since. I doubt you'll ever see these at that World Lux close-out price ever again, but one or two seem to find their way to the sale boards most years.

Here are my four favorite demonstrators.

Yeah, I got a new Paragon, and the quality was horrible. It fell apart after a couple of weeks, so I sent it back to OMAS. But they took almost 6 months to send me another defective pen as a replacement, so I finally returned it and promised myself never to buy a new OMAS again (until they improve the quality, at least).

[Zach]

Oh my my. That demo Snorkel is gorgeous!!

 

Congrats Richard!

[Readymade]

Hey! That pic of the Lamy Vista looks familiar

Very nice Demos, thanks to all for sharing your pictures.

I only had one, a Dollar in clear & blue, just gave it a new home to a missionary that had never before used a fountain pen, figured what better way to learn about them that to actually see how it works inside.

Here's my old Dollar Demo, filled with Noodler's Blue Ghost invisible ink while underneath a bright UV light source, taken back when I was reviewing the ink and not the pen as such...

I have a half-dozen or more Platinum Preppy Eye-Dropper conversions that came free with 4.5oz Noodler's ink purchases, don't really consider them demonstrators but I guess they too semi-fit the title.

[Federalist Pens]

Gotta love Demos!

 

I have a few:

 

-Sailor 1911

-Pel M200 Red

-Pel M205 Clear

-Pel R200 Grey (Yeah, a Rollerball!)

-Lamy Safari Vista

-Reform Demo

-Sheaffer Demo 305 Nib Clear

 

So, 7 out of about 50 pens!

[FP Writing]
