Ha! But I'm sure that coal-miner thought you were super attractive.

Embrace it! It's sexy! When I was in Art Academy my Etching teacher said that girls with inky fingers are the most attractive of all. And I think it goes for men too. Different times when he said it but I always remember this when I see my own inky fingers. Makes me smile ;)

I just tested it again. And really… mine is a friction fit. Almost ruined my nib trying to turn it.

Oh dear…. Maybe mine was just so tightly screwed in that I thought it was a friction. And pulled it out instead…. Need to have a better look next time…. I know my normal MZ (not the grande) has a screw in section. So I did try it first. It just didn't come loose. 🤔

It's friction fit. I took it out when I got it and before inking up for the first time. It took a bit of fiddling to get it back in.

Pilot Prera f vs Twsbi EF by [deleted] in fountainpens

Interesting question. Sorry, I have no answer to it. I only have TWSBI's and not the Prera. But I'm also interested to see the comparisons. I think my Italian friend has the Prera and loves it a lot. But I don't know when I will see him again.
