Which One Will Be Your Next Fountain Pen ?

[Thier.]

I know, I know, I've just received a new Graf last week ..... Anyway, I have an eye on a Caran dAche Leman Orange Safran ...... A friend of mine does not us it anymore .... Will it be my Next Fountain Pen ?

I sincerely hope it can be your next pen! If someone isn't using something it seems like that should be reason enough to "find it a new home!" I have the Leman in the white finish & am amazed at the finish of the pen. ( I debated long & hard because I initially wanted the Saffron.) I would like for you to enjoy it. It would be fun to see it next to your Graf!

I can't have any more pens until I sell some off, I've decided. The trouble is picking which ones to let go that someone might actually be interested in. Cheap Chinese knockabouts don't get resold often, I'm guessing. Pfft!

As I received the Leman today, I'll try to make pictures tomorrow ......

Good for you! Amidst my 12+ inches of snow it will be a welcome sight & even more so if you could manage to let your Graf join in the pictorial. Thank you for sharing whatever you choose.

More than that, as I have a black Leman, I've played swaping the caps so that I have now 4 Leman instead of two ...

Beautiful, Thier! The orange is very eye-catching.

Just received my Parker Sonnet matt black GT. My Sonnet deep red GT is , hopefully , on its way from Dubai. Also waiting for another shipment from USA containing two Sheaffer PFM Imperials , a Nemosine as well as some chinese (kaigelu and jinhao) pens.

Received all but the deep red sonnet. I am told it is out of stock. I didnt like the Chinese pens though. Nether any of the jinhaos nor kaigelu. Not even the nemosine.

Oooooooooooooooooooh........................I shoulda gone with my FIRST instinct for Saffron over my "boring" white & could have done the Intuition in the white........I REALLY like the Saffron but thank you especially for showing it with the Graf because I wasn't "quite" sure what the Terracotta was really "about." It is much like the orange inks that I see as more red than orange . I like the color BUT like your Saffron better. The body on the Intuition is really fabulous though.......it is most graceful in design. I really thought I had enough orange happening with the oversized Dolce Vita & a few others (Ondoro included.)

BUT your Leman is GREAT & I am very happy you were able to have it. When I send my white to have it's M nib exchanged for a BB (for stubbing purposes) wonder if they would "exchange" it's section? I better not press my luck as I am also having them exchange the nib on a RNX 316 ("Dark" version!)

Thank you for sharing all "six" of your pens! A very cleaver idea that "mix & match!"

Wow, those Caran d'Ache Lémans are beautiful, I have a Scarlet Red on my list. But for now, had an instant purchase. Brought a Sailor Pro Gear Slim Blueberry, it was for a great price, that would be a sin to not buy it.

My plan if failed to not buy another fountain pen till I buy my Montblanc Princesse Grace....

I'm happy that can help you .... But changing a nib and a section could be expensive ....

 

I've seen the orange Leman for sale on "stylo.ca " much cheaper then here in Europe perhaps it could cost less than changing your nib and section ...

 

I personnaly have to send my chrome RNX 316 to Caran d'Ache to change the feeder which is ..... broken !!!! I've tried to glue it but ink doesn't come easily ..... ( I've never seen a broken feeder before ...)

[Lamyrada]

Yeah !!!!!! What a nib !!!!! Exactly what you usually find on the "good old" pens : a really flexible nib !!!!! I love it !!!!

Here are a few pictures .....

 

 

 

 

And last but not least, this splendid "flessibile" nib .....

 

 

This looks so tempting as a fine chocolate pastry with some sweet cream on top or running through its middle, then garnished with a chocolate icecrem on the side. What chocolate heaven is for chocolate lovers.

I need to finish restoration on the ones I already have! But failing that, it would have to be either a matched Esterbrook pen and pencil set... or something with some flex in it. And if I can get my hands on an Estie with a 9128 nib, I can scratch both itches at the same time!

Wow!! I'm in awe of how some of you guys can afford the constant intake of pens??
