Pelikan Shanghai by
Michael Guterman
I just got my Shanghai from Pam Braun. It was a pleasure to deal with
her. Not only the lowest price by a substantial margin, but an
incredibly pleasant person to deal with. The pen is absolutely
beautiful. Very un Pelikan like in color. I haven't inked it yet, but
heck, it's a Pelikan. I...

My pen flushing blues by
R. Paul Martin
So one of my Rotring Cores, the one that doesn't skip, used up its
entire long international cartridge of Waterman Florida Blue ink. I
figured it's time to try out the only other blue ink I have, some
Swisher blue/black.
I was able to wash out the cartridge pretty easily. I've done it with
the...

Pelikan 605 or Parker Sonnet or Something Cheaper ? by
e.m. redding
I'm buying my first fountain soon and I'd like to hear your opinion of
the relative merits of the Pelikan 605 and Parker Sonnet, and of cheaper
varieties as well. I borrowed my friend's Mont Blanc 146 (yeah, precious
resin, as subsequent research has shown) and was really impressed by the
feel of...

Fake Sonnets? by
Jack Harrell
I've seen a lot of "Parker Sonnets" on E-Bay lately that look a little
different than the last model of Sonnets. I've picked up several for $20 a
piece. The stripping is more horizontal and less marble looking. Many of
them are being sold from vendors in Hong Kong. I've been assuming that
these...

How many 'collect' non-functioning pens? by
Curtis L. Russell
Just curious. For a long time I only had functioning pens, mostly new.
Maybe buying a couple of more flexible older(working) pens was the
beginning of the dam breaking, but lately I've purchased four pens,
all older, all non-functioning. None of them cost over $ 10 and they
all were different in at...

Meisterstuck 12 question by
Dominic Hurley
Hi all
What are Montblanc Meisterstuck 12 pens like? There's one coming up in an
auction near me soon. I'm assuming this is a vintage Montblanc and therefore
good quality. It has a left oblique nib and appears to be in good working
order. Cosmetically, it looks very good. I'm not actually a fan of...

Omas 557-S by
Jack Harrell
Hmmm, this pen collecting stuff is WAY too addictive...and confusing for
newbies.
Just purchased on E-Bay what was supposed to be an Omas 360 pen. It is not.
The side of it says Omas 557-S and, quite frankly, it looks much chaper than
I expected considering how highly everyone here spoke of Omas....

Pelikan pens: quality & nib size (Technixx & Souveran 400, 600) by
Txiasaeia
Two and a half years ago, I made my first foray into the world of
fountain pens, buying a Pelikan Technixx with a medium nib. I was
happy at first, but now the paint is flaking off and there are serious
problems with ink flow, as in sometimes it doesn't at all. I clean
the nib every two cartriges...

So I've got a couple of questions I hope someone can help me with.
How can you accurately determine a pen's value?
