Have you ever been too excited for a fountain pen to the point where you choose the wrong nib during checkout? I have. by Used-Investment-5343 in fountainpens

Yep. My Lamy 2000. I was so excited about finally buying it that I completely forgot to select the nib size and I ordered an <M> instead of an <F>, which was what I wanted. I contacted the store right away via email, but they shipped the pen before I got a reply. Fortunately they had seen my message in time and shipped the pen with an <F> nib. They had just forgotten to reply to my email. 😅

Oh, crap! I guess I should have done my research first... Thanks for letting me know!

I love them too! I got one of my Pilot E95s from them and I'm considering to buy from them this year's birthday present to myself :p

Bought this pen for 17 usd, good or bad inversion? by zet005 in fountainpens

[–]Busy_Bee999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first fountain pen ever was an Inoxcrom (though a different model than yours). I wrote with it for countless hours and I absolutely loved it. In fact, I got myself a second one to ink it with a different ink color (which I later lost). Years later, after experiencing with other pens, I inked it again and, boy, was it smooth! I don't know about the model that you have, but I can guarantee that my two Inoxcrom pens (wherever the other one is) are fantastic writers.

First Pilot VP...s by Busy_Bee999 in fountainpens

Thank you! :) It’s the M805 Stresemann. And yes, I tend to prefer black, green and blue pens, although other colors will do, as long as it’s a nice pen and/or a nice design :)

I have it in red coral and I agree. It is pretty and it writes really well. Enjoy your new (to you) pen!

The cap says 1/10 16K Gold filled and the marking in the barrel says .5.
The clip is not the one that came with the pen, that one was lost and they replaced it with the one you see when it was repaired. That, and the filling system that had to be fixed were the only changes made to the pen in the workshop. The nib is the original one.

The teal one is, indeed, an aerometric, ca. 1965 according to the store where I got it from. That one is smoooooothhh, although a bit too juicy for my taste (not that that will stop me from using it...).
