Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us! - 2016

Beautiful pen Majolo!

Gorgeous pens and writing! I've also been away too long. I got some new toys to play around with this week, so hopefully I will soon post something more than my shameless admiration at the skills people in this forum have...

I had Coles of London swap the nib in my Homo Sapiens Dark Ages to a 14K white gold. Love this pen now!

WOW! Has anyone tried these before?? I desperately want one of the grey ones, but I'm wondering if someone has experience with the wraps before I get one. Are they totally floppy fabric, or do they have interfacing that gives them a bit of structure?

 

If you write Franklin Christoph and ask them, you will probably get an answer within a couple of hours.

They have excellent customer service.

I love the pen... but not the chrome grip section...

Lovely pen and very nice ink Noihvo!

 

As an aside, you might like to know that 'ij' in 'ijzer' is a Dutch digraph. In print script it is usually capitalised as IJ, whereas for cursive the capital Y is used.

Thank you, Rednaxela, and I stand happily corrected. A few final notes while I remain sensible:

Autumn Oak is perhaps my favorite ink! Glad to see it being used in such a beautiful way!

Beautiful, beautiful ink mix! Well done! :-)

Another good shot from you, Noihvo! I simply love that you put together fountain pen stuff and liquorise; it is such an obvious combo!

This one; it's new. Kind of. I mean, it's technically quite old, but new to me.

Before you kill me for defiling a vintage nib: It was heavily damaged. The tipping was twisted by almost 90°, squashed (I'd say somebody tried to fix it with pliers) and there was a straightened-out bend (probably a partial break, even) that looked pretty bad in terms of nib stability. I'd say fixing that would've been massively difficult if not impossible and probably expensive enough to buy a decent vintage pen for the money instead.

 

I still would've asked around for a nibmeister willing to try their hand at that normally, but there wasn't even a pen attached to the nib - I found it mixed in with old dip pen nibs a friend gave me ages ago.

 

So, I just snapped off the tipping, polished the nib and put it in an old Online fountain pen, which used to have a 1.4 italic nib so dreadful that my sister (whose pen it was originally) asked me to take this abomination off her hands and maybe find a use for it.

Thank you

I had inked this pen with plans of writing, however, a trip to the local hospital required surgery. While home recovering, 2nite I pulled it out of its velvet pen pouch to do just a bit of writing. The nib on this pen is as smooth as butter. Am looking forward to to future Nussbaum pen endeavors.

Hey! I noticed that you mentioned surgery in another post, too. Are you ok? Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Love this one

'Thank you for your kind thoughts. Recovering from a partial thyroidectomy. Looking forward to getting back to full normal!

What it needs is a home grind to crisp BBB
