If You Could Wish For A Pen...

Recommended Posts

Actually I'd take just a nib. A vintage flex wet noodle that can be fitted to my TWSBI :)

Edited by bardiir

My Pens/Nibs (inked/active): Lamy Studio/Vista/Joy (XXF slight-flex custom | 14k EF | EF | F | 14k M | M | B | 14k 1.1 custom | 1.1 | 1.5 | 1.9), TWSBI Diamond 580 (F | Pendleton BadBoy | Zebra G | F.P.R. semi-flex), Pilot Falcon EF, Penkala Vintage 14k semi-flex, Pilot Parallel (2.4 | 3.8 | 6.0)

http://www.fp-ink.info/img/button.pngI'm still looking for help/data/supporters/sponsors for my Ink Database - It already contains over 900 Inks but is still low on data about the inks except on the Inks I got myself or where I found nice data sheets. So Im looking for these: InkSamples mailed to me, Permissions to use InkReviews - preferable by people who have a lot of InkReviews online, InkReviews mailed to me so I can scan them, Sponsors that will help me to finance InkSamples, People willing to trade InkSamples (list of available Inks from me is available via PM request - please include available Inks)

#1 - A refined version of the Parker 180.

On the original, the small side of the nib was scratchier than the wider side, because of the tip profile.

 

#2 - A smaller version of the Lamy 2000, about the size of a Parker 45. Then make a 2nd version as a desk pen.

The L-2000 is too fat and heavy for me.

 

I'm thinking about the Parker Vacumatic, but I don't have enough info and experience with the older pens.

A Montblanc JRR Tolkien Writers Edition.

But who knows what the pen would actually look like. It might turn out to be ghastly.

Ho 'bout a MB 149 in Rose Gold with Platinum accents? with a vintage "250" nib in EF:)

That would be amazing.

- That would be a good reason for learning Danish and Norwegian by the way. I don't know much about translated versions. Getting two examples of the plays and reading them together is a lot of fun, by the way.

 

As far as I know the only complete English version is on Kindle:

Should run on a Kindle reader on most any device, I guess?

Hmm this is a hard one. Maybe a Pelikan M800 Gekko or a Michal perchin Blue Serpent. Maybe a MB Alfred Hitchcock limited edition in red. A Sheaffer Balance oversized in Carmine red with a flex nib would be amazing also.

WTB Sheaffer Balance oversized with a flex nib, semi flex, broad, or medium in carmine red or grey striated.

 

Wtb Sheaffer Pfm in black or blue with a medium or broad nib.

A Visconti Opera Crystal... or a black Micarta Pen if TWSBI decides to have other plans for the discontinued Micarta pen... or, have Pilot push through with their FPs in my country... Faber-Castell too... or or a Vac Filler Visconti with stained glass inspiration

 

A handmade Japanese pen made with Tamahagane Steel for a Barrel and Cap? (I'm thinking the Cap should be made with Ebonite with Urushi Lacquer)... Inlaid Ebonite Urushi section is fine too

M800 Gekko with a butter-line stub would be nice...

A wooden pen, handcarved with a shark-and-octopus motif (Megashark vs Giant Octopus!), and then painted in, with urushi applied on top.

 

Sailor KoP size.

 

I'd rob all your houses in order to pay for that.

True bliss: knowing that the guy next to you is suffering more than you are.

I would wish for:

1. All Ohashido, Hakase and Romillo models, needlepoint with flex

2. All Nakaya models in SEF

3. All Danitrio models in EF, especially the eyedropper ones

4. All Montblanc Writer's Edition, from the beginning, in EF, Stub or Italic

5. All Pilot, Platinum and Sailor models, when existing demonstrator ones - preferable.

6. All Pelikan m1000 and m800 types, demonstrator and raden preferable, gekko and kyokko, mubyo and takara-zukushi.

 

Priceless...

It's the first time I heard about PFM Demonstrator. I looked into it, it's a great pen; I'm a sucker for demonstrators.

Wouldn't be the first ugly LE pen......

Anyway...as I've detailed elsewhere, I would wish for a Namiki Emperor Cranes. Stunning work of art. I can not imagine what could top it.
