Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us!

[Behike54]

Brand new Falcon w/SF nib and, well, you know the ink.

No, there is nothing on the barrel. Just the nib is identified. But the pen is small and similar in pattern. Maybe a cheap pen with a PARCO nib which all seem to be flexy and wet.

 

Only the nib is worth anything i guess and i would rather place it in another pen if i dared take it out.

Lamyrada : Thats a beautiful pen. Any pen that writes well and looks nice is worth it. There is nothing called cheap or pricey. I think every pen is of value, brand no brand whatever. Anyday, that Parco is a nice one. Enjoy.

+1. I hold the same view. I love my early days Parker Vector as much as I love my MB LE blabla, simply because both write so well.

WilsonCQB1911, great pens! They look like very nice writers, each of them.

 

FP189, that's an interesting pen, cool that you ground it yourself. I'm a huge fan of stubs and italics.

 

tringle, no slacking allowed!

 

I've been wanting for years to get my hands on a pen like this and it just arrived today in the mail. It is a Custom "51" Vespel made in Santa Fe by Ralph Prather. He fabricates by hand every single part of the pen other than the original nib and cap, including the filling unit. This one is made with Vespel, a unique material from DuPont. The nib is a BBB stub, just to my liking.

 

DC : AMAZING nib. And the pen. And your handwriting !!!!! The entire thing is so inviting!

[pankaj]

I really need to take the time to practice my writing But here is Franklin Christoph Model 02 fitted with the Christoph (music) nib and using Iroshizuku tsuki-yo.

 

It's a big nib

Cybaea : What an amazing nib!! In addition, I admire your artistic handwriting. So nice.

Thank you! That's a Pelikan M400 White Tortoise. It's my favourite of all my pens, for sure for sure.

Atikka, sounds like more cases are in your future...and Tringle, sounds like an expensive bone habit.

Fortunately he no longer has a taste for pens. Well fortunately for him as well.

Hi Jenifermarie, and welcome to FPN! I'm glad you jumped right in.

 

tringle, you have quite the amazing collection of vintage pens!

 

Attila, I love your writing and especially the way you showcase inks.

 

Today I'm sporting an early Montblanc 25 Safety Pen in BHR, just returned from an arduous repair by a good friend. One thing I like about this pen is its length - 135mm with the nib extended (but without the cap - I really never post caps) - and its shape. It is gently tapered from back to front and seems to rest perfectly in my hand. Sorry to wax on; here are some pics, first a "pen selfie":
