"Disillosion" that's an odd looking pen. I've never seen one like that. What is it called?

That's an oblique dip pen holder used for pointed pen scripts like Spencerian and Copperplate. You can find more information about these scripts in the Penmanship forum and on the IAMPETH site.

Never heard of that model of Waterman.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

i used my 1.9mm Lamy stub once and put it neatly away, Now that I have tested like 12 different nibs I am warming to it and I think I will leave it on. Have to get used to it but really, it is nice to have different size and style nibs on different pens. (flew-flex) :wub:

Do you have a photo? Is that number on the side of the barrel or on the butt of the barrel? You have my curiosity going full out!

'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.

So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.'

Pushing 80 years old! This is my trade bait for the SF pen show. Hopefully it helps pay for a Nakaya, Vacumatic, or a cheeseburger.

My first Omas arrived today and I just inked it.

It came with a bottle of Omas black ink but I prefer waterproof inks, hence the Noodler's. Nice pen. Smooth 18K nib.

Looks like a modern classic, a pen that will be admired now and re-admired (if that word exists) in 75 years from now. (On FPN?)

Thanks for sharing, I'd never heard of this artist and enjoyed the song. :thumbup:

I'm used to seeing your microscope writing and It's the first time than I see you writing with flex nib. It's pretty good.
