Can anyone tell me the value of: 1 Fountain pen - big - 1 Roller PINEIDER - mod. JUBILEUM - ? Thank in advance Alberto

I am interested in getting a good, very broad oblique nib. Montblanc, Pelikan, Omas, & others, make good broad oblique nibs. Some of the websites/brochures feature 'examples' of the line made by different nibs but that gives a limited feel of the actual line on paper. I have tried calling into...

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...

It's aggravating to write with a great pen whose cap won't post securely. Does anyone have a trick or two for fixing the loose-posting cap problem? Metal on metal; plastic on plastic; metal on plastic? Alex

Maybe this subject has been exhausted, but it still seems to me that it warrants more research. I've read all the theories about causes of skipping, and cures for it, and I'll concede that my evidence is more anecdotal than scientific: but I am convinced that skipping in cartridge/converter pens...

The site is designed to eliminate the...

Very interested in purchasing this pen. Anyone have any experience with it or Lamy pens in general?

HAve someone compare this two types of inks as contrakt inks? I know paper sheets with different inks and noodlers. The noodlers ink is the only one who passed the tests. What is with typical iron gall inks like MB BB or R&K "Salix (Blueblack)? Alfred

I use a iron gallic ink in my M200. How can a ink manufacturer make his ink document proof without iron-gallic ingredients. What is in the nooders inks, they are good for documents and contracs. Alfred

Parkerpens.net is DOWN I'm sorry for the inconvenience. My (former) web hotel cancelled and locked down my domain and all my files. They will not answer support mails and their phone has been disconnected. Hopefully i will be able to rebuild the site. I have bought an additional domain that will...

Thanks for your rapid reply. I took a look at both sites you mentioned and they where very informative. My 51 special seems to have the pearlized top of cap finish. I guess it was switched from a regular Parker 51. The cap also has a brushed metal finish. I found a place called "Fountain Pen...
