Hello fellow FPN'ers,

 

I have been browsing FPN for around a year and this is my first post. I have been an avid FP user for the last 15 years. I used FP's exclusively through school and university and only recently since last year, started a collection. Here is an initial set from my humble collection:

From top to bottom:

 

Parker 45 flighter - Good deal on eBay. Wonderful writer

Pilot Vortex - Good nib, but very disappointed with the pen quality overall

Sheaffer No Nonsense - Smooth wet medium nib. hate the color

My first "foreign" FP - Lamy Safari M. Should have got an F or an EF.

Reynolds Grippy (in blue and red) - tiny little school pen that punches far above its weight

 

Flair Inky - Indian version of Pilot Varsity. Nice. Surprisingly good build quality. converted to ED

Maped free writer - French? school pen with an interesting design. Smooth M nib

Another Flair inky

Maped 'Click' reload - Interesting cartridge load mechanism and feels very good in the hand. Kudos to Maped for trying something different

Pilot Varsity? - older gen Varsity I guess. Very smooth wet nib. Should have got an F

Pilot Preppy - excellent build and smooth nib. Used as EDC for a month. Enjoyed every bit of it

 

Also have a ton of chinese pens in my collection - Another post maybe....

Welcome to our little corner of the universe. I'm sure you will enjoy your time here. Well, at least you won't misplace that no-nonsence pen!

Welcome !

 

I think the color of the NoNonsense is magenta. It is a color that did not sell very well. I encountered a seller,who had a carton of one dozen. I bought all of them for about 25 Euors. I kept two, and gave the others as gifts. I am proud of my brilliance ! What would the recipient say ? "Your gift is ugly !" :lticaptd:

Take care of yours. Remember UGLY = UNPOPULAR . UNPOPULAR + 60 years - RARE .

 

Write with joy.
