A rare early morning without any duty, so I do have some time to take a couple of pictures. I am one of these people looking for "the perfect pen", and not being naïve I know there is no such thing. But I know what is perfect for me regarding long writing sessions: for some reason the Danitrio Densho design fits perfectly my hand as if the good people at Danitrio took my hand to shape the pen. I love the ED filler with the valve, valve that not only does shut the pen off but allows for some flow control. I had only two complaints: the first one of course is the price of these pens, the second one is I was not all that crazy about the nib, although objectively excellent. Thanks to Mr Cheng and then to some unexpected money, the first problem was solved, and I was lucky enough to be able to fit two of my most beloved nibs, a vintage Pelikan and a modern Platinum. So here they are, two raw ebonite Denshos, one frankenpelikaned, the other frankenplatinumed, one loaded with Iroshizuku Tsuki Yo, the other with Noodler's Borealis black. Apologies for the phone pictures and my poor skills in that matter.

Thank you so much!

There are writing samples posted in threads in the Pelikan Forum.

I cannot compete with such beauties displayed in this topic, but here is my humble contribution: Rotring Renaissance with an OBB steel stub with two breathing holes.

 

I'm still figuring out the right angles and such.

Wow,... what an unusual nib.

This FPN thread has gladly accepted all examples of broad nibs. Steel or gold, vintage or modern, fancy or simple. I've been following it for a good while now & the thread just keeps on giving & giving.

For me, the Welcome to the Broad Side thread is one of the highlights of FPN.

Whenever a fresh post appears, I look forward to enjoying it.
