Pankaj - Better photos of the pen case, the flaps are soft and thick material, really keeps the pens snug as a bug in a rug.

But is it tilted on your screen? On my ipad it isnt, on my laptop it is, any idea why?

I wonder if on your computer you can rotate the images? I use an iMac, and when I preview the photos I can rotate the images. Try that.

 

 

Yes the images are horizontal on my screen.

Science Chick - I love that nib!!!! How do you like it?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Your handwriting is amazing!

 

Happy Sunday!

 

 

Yes, I am a slacker!

 

Great pen collection! :puddle:

 

 

 

Very nice Sheaffer!

 

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. :thumbup:

 

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":

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very impressive Montblanc! It's a graal!

 

Tas - I know how you feel, I suffer from PENVY too much on this website.

 

dcpritch - Wow that is a fancy MB, and I agree with Tas, you are mister coordinated! I could be the moderator of the PENVY, and counseling center for FPN. I visited Scottsdale Pen and Knife yesterday, lots of really nice modern pens. I have one pen I am currently coveting, that is a Sheaffer PFM, I am researching which model or version would best suit me.

 

My current PENVIOUS thought is for Cybea's Pelikan Raden. I held one once. Just once.

 

My new pen case from Franklin Christoph

 

Also, new ink cases I used from 38 special ammo boxes. (Recycle)

 

 

You get a very nice pen case.

 

 

 

 

 

Nice pen and handwriting!

Yama-dori - China Blue - Penman Sapphire - GvFC Stone Grey - Apache Sunset - Shigure - Akkerman Indigo #9

 

I love this color! And great handwriting!

 

 

:thumbup:

 

 

This pearl color is beautiful!

 

 

 

TWSBI Micarta (Medium) and Pelikan M200 (Medium). :)

 

Nice set!

I can't describe how much I love the nib. It's rapidly becoming my favorite. I'm thinking seriously about having Art do this mod on an Estie nib so The World's Prettiest Estie will have a Tomahawk nib.

Life's too short to use crappy pens.  -carlos.q

I am still a novice at nibs, but what is the purpose of the tomahawk nib?
