Anyone got a Kaweco sport. Got one as a Christmas gift (just a tad early), the converter is terrible, can't get my hands clean. Who decided this converter is fit for purpose. Followed instructions on a website, more hand washing/wringing. Anyone got a better idea than the eye dropper one. Did think of...

Hi guys I have been looking on eBay at a few Montblanc fountain pens, I was actually quite surprised just how many there are listed, but with some of them going for quite low prices and in some cases to low to be true. So the question is are there any tips for the Montblanc novice for spotting a fake Montbl...

I just got the latest Fahrney's Pens catalog (Fall 2009), and the new Lamy pen is on the cover! The Dialog 3 has the the 14k nib, and it retracts into the barrel! The clip also retracts opposite the nib (I have the Swift model RB that does the same thing- it ensures the nib/point is in the pen when you clip it t...

Hi all, I have been looking for a Rotring 600 for a while. Nothing fancy, no special colour, just something to be used. I have seen one some time ago, and the owner let me write a few words with it. Though quite heavy I liked it a lot, even for just the two or three words I have written. As it had been quite scarc...

I thought it was funny that there a separate forum for a bunch of pen brands, but not MB or Pelikan.? I never heard of Wahl, and seldom see Esterbrook pens. The pens I have the most of are Waterman, MB, Pelikan, Parker, & Lamy.

A few weeks ago I picked up a lot of random stuff out of eBay & in it was this unusual little piece. It's a Black Celluloid Piston filler called Colima. I've never heard of them. Anyone know anything about these? Well the piston was snapped in 3 pieces?& I just don't have any stray piston bits to re...

I've read that 50's German Oblique nibs were ground different; made to shade. I have been lucky and have couple. I have an OB, a KOB and a OF, all are semi flex, all 14 K*, all are a joy to write with. These nibs dance. They were designed to produce shading. I have a 18 K OB Lamy Persona....a nail, made for folk...

Hi all, I was using my Lamy Al-Star (an aluminum made Safari) with a converter. Cleaned it out in order to lend it to a friend and decided to ink another Lamy (in the picture) but, voil?, the Lamy converter in the picture (the one with the red knob) doesn't fit the Lamy pen. Fortunately, the other Lamy conv...

I just received an unusual gift. It is a Pelikan M600 with an Oblique Broad Nib (at least i think so). It was a gift from a former fpn member. He is an unusual fellow, he won't put any energy into tweaking them, sending them in for repair, etc. I snail with him and I have been surprised with a few rather expens...
