Here's a hasty iPad shot of a happy summer pen. The celluloid on this Miya is gorgeous and the interior of the pen does not show through at all. On the lovely Aurora Ionio the Callifolio Pacifique ink can be seen through the orange body. Perhaps I should get a little vest for that pen-- when it goes out in public.

 

I have that exact pen (Yellow Miya with B-Stub nib) but my handwriting does not look as pretty as yours. LOVELY COMBO!

Current Wishlist:

Visconti, Visconti, and...more Visconti! (And some ST Duponts too). (Ok fine, getting on the Omas and Montblanc trains now too. Toot toot.) (And maybe on the Montegrappa one too, but only for the Miyas.)

My nib preference is XF/F because my penmanship is rather small and I usually write on cheap paper. Here's a recently acquired Sheaffer TD Imperial IV with a factory stub nib. After soaking the nib overnight, it no longer skips. I like the flow now. Wet.

That ribbed yellow Sailor is causing a large puddle all of it's own....... :puddle:

That Miya looks pretty good too.

 

Am developing a yearning for a yellow, stub nibbed pen.. :D

Thanks - could be better though :)

I agree about the pen & ink combo. It does look good.

I guess the next ink will be Cafe des Iles. That should Work too.

I have been looking for italic nibs for Waterman Le Man 100's for a couple years. I finally found one, practically in my back yard!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm a pretty happy italicist this evening!

I've been out of the loop for nearly a month and wow! what a bunch of great pens have been posted here. Thanks everyone for showing off your wares. I took with me on a long trip my CONID Minimalistica+ with a Bexley stub and it performed marvelously until it ran dry. Boy do wet writing stubs use a lot of ink! Glad to be back, and hope to see and post more in the not-too-distant future.

David, that's a beautiful Waterman.

Is the barrel made of chased hard rubber? Whatever it is, it's stunning.

John's grinds are one of the best. Enjoy!

Thanks, Tinta.

 

The Waterman Le Man 100 Opera was made in the early 1990's as a limited edition. I believe 5000 were made. They were meant to pay homage to the chased hard rubber pens of the 1920's, but were actually made of resin over brass. The wave-like guilloche pattern is lovely, isn't it? It is a C/C pen and looks, feels and writes as you would expect of a top quality fountain pen. Mine came with an 18Kt Fine nib. It wrote a very fine, smooth line. However, I use pens almost entirely for italic script, and I wanted to use this pen, not just own it as a collector's piece. So I was very happy to find a used Man 100 nib on nibs.com that was suitable for grinding into a cursive italic. John did his usual splendid job, and I expect to enjoy using this pen regularly.

 

I think I saw about 3 to 5 Man 100 Operas for sale by various vintage pen vendors at the San Francisco Pen Show last weekend. There always seem to be some for sale on ebay. They are very much "in circulation." If you find one that has been kept in good shape and the price seems reasonable, it's a great pen for a collection or to use. The Opera has a "sibling," another Man 100 with a different guilloche pattern on the same "canvas." It is called the "Arlequin." The same number of Arlequins was made, but it seems they are very much rarer in the USA, anyway. For your interest, here is a photo of the Waterman Arlequin and another of the Arlequin alongside the Waterman Opera and a Conway Stewart Wellington Celebration, another of my pens of modern manufacture made to resemble a vintage chased hard rubber pen.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for asking!
