When I met Tom on the last Köln Penshow in april, he showed me a nice Goldfink in Lapis Lazuli blue. The pen however was too small for me. So we decided he would make an oversized model for me in this beautiful Lapis Lazuli. Now, two months later I took delivery of this marvellous pen. It is a buttonfiller, has a tuned B 8 nib from Bock. The clip has to be changed to a new one with Goldfink engraved. The pen is postable, writes perfect and is usable as a daily writer. Nice job. Enjoy the pictures.

Goldfink is yet another, relatively obscure German brand know for making high quality products. In my opinion, Goldfink was the Matador of 4-5 years ago. Penboard.de has repository of nice specimens if one is interested in learning about their models. Here is a two page leaflet showing their diverse portfolio (images belong to eBayer watermarked). I dont think it shows their complete line of pens but it has their rarer models like Transparent and Long-short safety pens. It is believed that their products were contract manufactured by various makers around Berlin. http://i.imgur.com/EcdxQfs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/ksIHtT0.jpg Goldfink is better know for their Wonderfüller which is a hybrid of twist and button filler. I had one in a #2 size but am regretting selling it. I had a few Goldfinks but one latest acquisition prompted this thread. It is the top pen in the pic below. I think it is the Preisschlager (economy) model per the leaflet above. Cosmetically it is in very good condition and has an amazing #6 flex nib. Their nib denomination runs smaller than typical and perhaps #6 is more like a #4 or #5. The faceted captop design is very attractive and one of my favorite feature of this brand. Other pens below are a #6 stylograph safety, MB142 and MB146 sized piston fillers. If you have any please share details and your experience with them. http://i.imgur.com/rB19g62.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tjAIN5c.jpg http://i.imgur.com/J7OyV8j.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/4Jl85E0.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/E3aEzah.jpg?1 http://i.imgur.com/gdziASM.jpg?1
