A beautiful, classic pen and ink. I love what you're doing with it. Your handwriting is flowing. I can tell you are enjoying the pen :)

 

 

Thank you! You are amazing, an inspiration since the very first day I joined FPN.

 

Today, just a 51 :)

Rescued NIB

 

Found a lonely nib asking for way to much but settled at $12.

From a failed TWSBI experiment ... 580 Diamond.

 

Comes new life... and it writes wonderfully fine line!

And, yes. The nib section does twist off. However, I wouldn't do it again.. God knows how fragile they are. Was soaked in warm water/cleaned/soaked and put back.

I have recently been bitten by “Parker” bug and thus in rotation today is one of the vintage iconic pen from Parker stable , Parker 25 – Black LE with medium nib and it is inked with Rohrer and Klingner Fernambuk.



Today’s thought is inspired by American economist, William Raduchel.

The pen is with conical shaped steel nib and it writes wet. I am really thankful to Ravi of Pens Point for arranging this one for me.

Thanks all....I tried to keep up with you lots! And, sometimes I am at lost...

 

At lost of words for complementing your wonderful pens, posts, and the INK!

At lost of acquiring beautiful instruments to write with, yes, TO WRITE with.

At lost of admiration for most of you lots that been here since .... FOREVER

At lost of words for thanks for keeping me sane, yes, even as most people think that I am otherwise.

 

I hope my Franken-pen projects will not get me kicked! :D

 

 

Nice Shaeffer fine nib _inky.

Twsbi 580 Diamond AL Lava and filofax notebook.

Amazing. Simply amazing.

Bravo!

I'd actually forgotten that the Reynolds was in fact, an Indian pen.

Longish story. The store originally selling the mugs, the Mid Atlantic restaurant on Beech Road, as shown on Deneen Pottery's websitehttp://www.taskyprianou.com/fpn_mid_atlantic_no_more.jpg

 

was nowhere to be found. We asked at a 7/11 and at a gas station but they didn't know of it either. Called their HQ only to find out they had closed. Then called Deneen themselves who told me about Another Broken Egg. So we rather excitedly (although if truth be told I was now the only one showing any enthusiasm) made our way over there only to find it was closed. :(

I'll use the money saved to buy ink or perhaps go towards a pen at the London Pen Show in October. :)

I am planning to be at LWES! Would be great to meet you!

Fountain pen novice. I am aquiring pens at a frightening pace, I am afraid it might be an addiction... I see I am not alone here on FPN! Latest acquisitions - Platinum 3776 Kumpoo with Diamine Eau de Nil, Opus 88 Koloro inked with Diamine November Rain, Franklin-Christoph Model Pocket 66 prototype inked with Franklin-Christoph Honeycomb.

Excellent, that would be lovely.

 

As migo984 will attest, I'm the one who looks like The Hood from Thunderbirds, only I've mellowed a lot lately.

No Amber, I hadn't actually got to the point of purchasing it, but had to let that listing go (the one you let me know about). But I still regret it and whenever I see your pen, I feel like I want it! again. How heavy is this pen, and without the cap posted, where is the centre of gravity? I ask because I can't do back heavy pens very well.

The OBBB nib that came with my Pelikan 400NN pen does swap with any modern M200-M600 pens so yes, it does fit into the Blue Demo M600. I really appreciate Pelikan's nib swappability. :)

It's good to see your robot, Coop.

I've never used Sailor Jentle Blue, even though it's been available forever. I tend to focus a lot on the four seasons inks by Sailor but that standard Jentle Blue is nice with great saturation.

 

I think the robots are still partying on, because nobody told them to stop, and they don't need to rest unlike we do. :D

Here's my robot.
