I have a few old stylographic pens that apparently didn't have enough iridium in the metal tube to prevent corrosion. In one nib, the metal feeding wire (or plunger) appears to be fused inside the tube. I'm suspecting that there isn't much hope for that one. In another, it looks like 1mm of...

Several on their way out to people and I have 4 more spaces open if you would like a pound of pens for $34 including postage...each parcel contains: fountain pens, ball pens, pencils, Chinese pens, American pens, European pens, various multi-lead or multi-BP German pens...and practice items (if you...

Anyone here tried the Pentel Tetras Stylo "disposable fountain pens"? They sound interesting "Unique double-sided nib, firm one side, flexible the other for stylish writing. Smooth flowing liquid ink with a high-tech ink regulator." I recall trying the older ones and they were a favorite...

There aren't any FPN admins or moderators here for you to whine to, except Rudhari (sp?) and he don't give **** and there's not a ****ing thing he could do about it if he did give a ****. I don't run things around here--this is just me saying this--but what I say is take your ****ing sorry,...

I own two snorkels...a desk pen and a regular pocket fountain pen. In both cases the snorkel tube seems partially "jammed", they no longer fully retract. Soaking has not been enough to get the pens back in working order. I'd like to learn how to disassemble and clean the pens myself, if...

I was trying to search Google Groups for info in our past posts and got the error that the search string or phrase wasn't found, try to modify the spelling, etc. I tried such things as "refill" and "Bluesea" but they didn't work in either Firefox or IE. For example: "Your search - refill - did...

In The Bourne Supremacy, Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) jots notes down in a phone booth, with a pen. The pen is a black matte-finish Rotring 600 ballpoint with the knurled grip. I wonder if some German pen fan on the set gave it to him. Because a spy making quick notes, living catch as catch can,...

Yes, I've looked all over Pen collecting and sales Web site, Google Usenet archives of this newsfroup, and Montblanc's own site and I still can't find a definitive answer to this question.. The pen is the Montblanc Meisterstuck 149 - the big bruiser, standard issue, not a special edition, black...

I hate to be one of these dorks who shows up to ask a question and not participate, so I ask your forgiveness in advance. My music (guitar) teacher is an avid fountain pen collector and I'd like to get him something nice for Christmas. I'm willing to spend $25 - $40 or so. I welcome all your...

Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

I thought this would be posted here already. If it has been, I apologize. I have been out of circulation for awhile, and this time it had nothing to do with vacation, work or coasters. Anyway, Cross is eliminating 80 manufacturing jobs in Rhode Island and 80 non-manufacturing jobs worldwide. ...

Gents: I just received a copy of the above mentioned book and immediately started to devour it for its knowledge. There is a preponderance of books on the fountain pen and they are greater in number than those about ball point pens. No disrepect intended to those who own and use fountain pens,...

I recently purchased a Sheaffer Snowpen from Martina in German for quite a nice deal. According to information I have found on the web, this pen is based on a Sheaffer Prelude. I have a personal preference for italic nibs, and I am considering two options. The first is getting a custom ground nib...

Hey all, What do you think of Mont Blanc's Blue Black ink? I have been using sepia for a while, and figured that I needed a permanent ink (since I've had a few runny accidents) and I wanted a change of color. I haven't quite formed an opinion of it yet, but I thought I would ask here to see...

Parker Jotter, Vector, Reflex FPs... what's the difference? I know Reflex has a textured rubber grip, which seems a plus, but what about the other two? Do the three pens differ in their nib/writing?

Dear friends, after a few lazy days now some real highlights again. New listed is an extremely rare Montblanc Masterpiece 744-N in 14 ct. solid gold in near mint condition. Furthermore a 12-sided Montblanc 25 and other pens. And there is still a rare large Montblanc L 129 and many other pens...
