Pocket Pens

Here are a couple of Liliputs with the 2 pen pouch, a Kaweco Sport and Franklin Christoph Pocket 40.

Vintage Kaweco Sports can be had from $30-$100, depending on the model. The benefit is that they're piston filler instead of cartridge.

 

Top to bottom: 112, 112A, 11, 11, 12, V12, V16. The V16 is the most common and least expensive, comes in other colors besides black, and is available with a gold or steel nib.

Size isn't represented very well because of the angle of the photo. The 11 is the smallest of the bunch. Here's one in comparison to a Lamy Safari and modern Kaweco Sport.

My Stipula Passaporto arrived today. Man is it small, but it'll be perfect for my pocket. I'll post pics of it on Monday.

I've always been amused by the term 'pocket pen'; most of what we all use and discuss are pocket pens other than desk sets...

 

Amusement aside, I carry a Pilot M90 as my 'pocket pen' (in the sense of this thread). Sturdy, never fails to write. Never had a burp or nib creap. Usually I'm using Pilot carts although I do have a converter that fits it.

How about some photos and review. Still considering between a Passaporto and a Sport..
