Vacumatic or Aerometric? (Parker 51) by MJT
I would argue that they are both 'classics' and you should own both. Then, you can add different cap and clip vaiations, and soon, you will have several dozen or more!

FP - return policy for online orders? by Pahoo
What seems to be a reasonable return policy if one orders a pen via catalog or online, in so far as the customer want to see, feel and examine the pen. I have read the FAQ's about asking to ink a pen, in a retail store, but I wouldn't expect a mail order house to be that generous. For example, I...

RB - recommendation for heavier by Leonard Levy
Pelikan. LL B Fisher wrote: I am looking for a rollerball - fear not, I do have a few FPs! I would like one that is a big larger (more like my Sailor Sterling FP in size and weight), not too expensive, plus I like the "lip" found on many FPs down toward the nib. I use a medium to broad...

Parker 42 1/2 For SALE by JonR529
Somewhat suprisingly, my very nice Parker 42 1/2 that closed on ebay Sunday failed rather impressively to meet my reserve of $275. Most likely explanation is the Labor Day weekend eliminated some who might have been interested. This is a relatively scarce model correct in every way. Rather than...

How do I dismantle a Pelikan 100? by Christos Christoforou
Dear All I have a vintage Pelikan 100. I filled the pen but the cork must have either dried or it is damaged (I hope it was just dried!) so there is some ink in the barrell behind (above) the cork piston. How can I remove the piston assembly so I can clean the pen?

Just looking at the Visconti website (http://www.visconti.it), those guys produce a lot of Vintage/Special/Limited editions. How could any collector keep up, or would they even bother. Though I must say both the site and some of the pens appear well done. While La Divina Commedia may be OTT I do...
