Pelikan M1000 vs. M800 Nibs by Norman M. Schwartz
I have a M1000 with a fine nib which writes flawlessly and silky smooth on nearly all types of paper. On the other hand I have a M800 with a medium nib which was/is "coarse" and scratchy from the get go. I sent it back to Chartpak and it came back somewhat improved but it is still no match for...

Fountain pen repair shops in the Nagoya or Tokyo, Japan area by Ron Wilbanks
I have a friend who lives in Shizouka Prefecture that has a Mont Blanc fountain pen, with a white star on the tip of the cap. Her parents gave this pen to her as a graduation gift when she was 20, which was 12 years ago. Sadly, this pen no longer works and I believe has a feed problem of...

Pop Survey by Bluesea
Once again, lightning's struck with another topic for the mostly irregular Pop Survey. This month (and pro'lly the next since it's the end of May), the question is... How many pens...AWK! This is a.c.p-p! What was I thinking?!...I mean, How many *fountain pens* do you own?

Disappointed with the Parker Reflex by [email protected]
The build quality is scandalous; it looks glued together, quite badly, like those chinese products from the People's Republic of the 1980s. It's has a feeling of being rough around the edges, and not enough polish that even a Bic Crystal seems to have been better manufactured. It's not just the one...

Crayons Crayons - I adore crayons by [email protected]
Bought a pack of wax crayons, ala crayola, but an own brand one. A cheapo, 24 or 32, I think, chunky crayons for less than a =A31. Now I use them to highlight stuff I wrote. I noticed that one of my cheapo fountain pens stopped writing well just after I rewrote something I had already highlighted...

Caran d'Ache clutch pencil genuine? by Richard Wright
Picked up a clutch pencil that purports to be a Caran d'Ache. Had associated that brand with gold plate and silver, but what I picked up is chromium plated. Stamped into the pushing gadget is +CARAN D'ACHE+SWISS MADE+ Decorative engraving on the hexagonal facets is very shallow compared

Problems with Penspiration by ajc553
I have had the same problem that was mentioned a few weeks ago with penspiration...I ordered a pen and some ink, got the pen--but the ink was backordered. So, I waited for about a month--and then started emailing and calling to find out it's status. Overall, I'd guess I've attempted to contact...

best place to buy quality pens as gifts? by CRGILL
I'm looking to buy 6 to 8 quality pens as gifts for co-workers, hopefully something a bit different from the the usual Monte Blancs, so maybe something from Caran d'Ache, Montegrappa, Omas, and want good follow on service in case something goes wrong with any of them, as well as competitive...

European and Asian Pen Dealers by Cliff Reynolds
There have been some pretty decent fountain pen deals on e-bay. Like a Pelikan M800 for $219.00 (I think that's pretty fair). Or an M200 for $39.00. Some dealers are from Germany, and some others are from the Netherlands, and Switzerland. And then there are several asian dealers I've come...

Parts sources for Parker 51 by Marcos Hedges
Hello - Pardon the newb. Are there any places that you know of that sell Parker 51 parts? There's always the chance that I'd be better off purchasing another pen, eBay or otherwise, but I'd just like to refurbish one I already have. I am not only referring to the Vac, but other parts as well -...

Penspotting: What Dreams May Come by Norman Haase
I just watched this film again, starring Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra. There's a scene, about a quarter of the way into the film, where Sciorra's character writes in her journal with either a burgundy Hero '329' or more likely a '330'. It's a bit hard to see the shape of the barrel end, and...

Sheaffer Touchdown repair by Sander Roosendaal
My first repair attempt, on a Sheaffer Touch-down pen. I replaced the sac with a new one (from Pendemonium). The old one was solid. I replaced the O-ring with a new one. The pen now fills very small amounts of ink, perhaps 3/4 inch of the section is filled with ink (there is a transparent part in...

on a gel pen search by joe
Alright I'm searching for my holy grail pen, per se. I really like the Parker Gel refills as they are quite smooth and very, very fast drying. I have found that they also don't soak into the page much, making for writing in my small pocket size journal quite nice. The only problem is that it seems...
