Is there much of a trick to removing and replacing the nib on a new Meisterstuck Le Grande? On my Pelikan M800, the nib just screws out. Any particular words of caution on the Meisterstuck? Thank you for your comments. -- Cliff Reynolds

Anyone have a good source for a Scheaffer Snorkel fountain pen? Looking for one in working order, that won't break the bank. Just want it for everyday use. So no need for anything especially collectable. Thank you for the help. -- Cliff Reynolds

I recently got a old pen from my grandfather and I was not sure if it is real or not. My grandfather is rather wealthy and he has had this pen a long time (I'm guessing like 20ish years). Anyway I don't know if it is real or not. My grandfather could, for sure, afford a real one, but that's not...

I need a new pen. I've been looking at the Pelikan Soverans. Does anybody have one and willing to tell me about it. How would you rate it among other comparables? Is it really among the smoothest writers? T

While in Brazil on business recently I noticed Crown fountain pens, which I understand are made in China (I've not seen them in the US). I think the manufacturer is Shanghai G. Crown Fountain Pen Co., Ltd. Some of the pens looked very nice, but what level of quality and performance could...

Hi all, I still have a few of these Rotring Core FPs left here. All come with converters (a $5 value in itself) and all are in the cardboard boxes. Not exactly a gift box but, hey, it's a pen you get for less than $20 shipped. These pens are great writers. The XL nib is sort of a fat medium and...

I am a novice pen enthusiast with a few pens including Mont Blanc, Waterman, Sheaffer, Pilot and now a vacumatic Parker 51 recently acquired at EBay. The 51 needed servicing, its diaphragm was shot and the nib was scratchy. So I called up Roger of Penopoly (I got his name from MB boutique in...

I'm a fountain pen person but take a look at the Itoya Aquaroller which is more of a ball point than a roller ball. It is very smooth though, more like a roller ball. It's unusual but difficult to find. I bought one online. The Itoya ceramic roller, the Paper Skater, is very smooth as well. Frank...

Been using a G2 for a while, will have to try one of these. Pen Review: Uniball 207 KEY FEATURES * Helps prevent check washing * Comfortable textured grip * Fade- and Water-resistant ink * Acid-free

Ok, I've read several time on this ng that it is a good idea to dip a pen in a new type of ink to see if it beads and runs off the nib or if it coats the nib. Beading- good coating- bad. I recently purcahsed some Noodler's Legal Lapis and some Black and they coat the nibs of my Aurora Style and...

I was rather surprised that my Rotring 600 Trio did not come with any instructions whatsoever! After trying unsuccessfully for nearly an hour to discover the rule for selecting the desired pen/pencil tip, I unscrewed the barrel. Now that I could see all three tips, it was clear that they were...

I have changed the settings (finally) and no longer carry the offensive handle. During my old radio days I was known as "Moonstone" and it is as good as any other, exception - **** magnet. Thank you all for your tolerance. Moonstone
