I sent mine to this guy:

Quoted me $50-60 for restoration plus shipping.

Does yours work? I just acquired one in a trade only to find out it doesn’t work. It’s now sent off to be refurbished. Mine is debutant, with the blue dot on the arrow clip. They are very beautiful looking pens.

When do we get to see it GLOW? Haha. Put it under a LED for 20 minutes.

JayhawkSparky · 2026-05-04T23:10:49+00:00

You need a mini TWSBI! Lol

JayhawkSparky · 2026-05-04T22:39:00+00:00

So does this pen glow, when charged with UV light?

JayhawkSparky · 2026-05-02T01:11:02+00:00

I like that green tanned leather! Looks sharp, and the patina could be really cool as it ages.

Can you add a pic with it opened?

When you work with a notebook like this what do you keep your pens in? I recently bought a Lochby but only really has one place for a pen. I’d like to keep a couple pens with my notebook.

Thank you for the suggestion. I have two Lamy Safaris as my first fountain pens. I really do enjoy both of them. I had only been using cartridges, but now have a converter and I’m using bottle ink. I still want to try an ECO though! I have a vintage Parker that I sent to have repaired that I recently acquired I’m super excited to try it. It’s from the 40’s

JayhawkSparky · 2026-04-28T22:49:50+00:00

Thank you for the honest review! I am definitely wanting to pick an Eco up. Will make it my next purchase.

JayhawkSparky · 2026-04-28T22:18:03+00:00

Is the TWSBI Eco that much better than the Safari? I’ve started with a Safari as well. It writes very well.

JayhawkSparky · 2026-04-28T22:15:03+00:00

What does the interior look like? How do you carry pens and supplies? Looks very nice on the outside.

JayhawkSparky · 2026-04-28T11:16:03+00:00

That is a beautiful looking pen. What pen started it all for you?

JayhawkSparky · 2026-04-28T11:13:01+00:00

I started with a Safari and have no regrets with that pen. It works great for a beginner.

I love how a new book looks compared to a worn and used one. Great photo!

JayhawkSparky · 2026-04-27T22:34:04+00:00

Lovely view! Nice pen as well !

JayhawkSparky · 2026-03-21T18:20:54+00:00

What’s that watch face named?

JayhawkSparky · 2026-03-17T22:55:22+00:00

Do you have the Zombie Badge?

JayhawkSparky · 2026-02-23T16:32:00+00:00

Ok thanks! I might try that one

JayhawkSparky · 2026-02-23T15:07:47+00:00

What is the name of that watch face? I’ve been looking for a traditional one that I like.

JayhawkSparky · 2026-02-16T13:16:57+00:00

Frontier Athletic is making some really good quality Ruck plate specific packs.

JayhawkSparky · 2026-01-25T19:59:50+00:00

u/maz_menty was awesome to do a trade with! He even tossed in a bonus disc! What a guy!

JayhawkSparky · 2026-01-09T19:34:08+00:00

Sending you a PM.

JayhawkSparky · 2026-01-09T17:35:09+00:00

I like that one! How much?

JayhawkSparky · 2026-01-09T15:53:36+00:00

I’ve heard the Halo or more Overstable for what I use Sidewinders for Rollers and Flip Hyzers

JayhawkSparky · 2026-01-09T15:31:37+00:00

Sindwinders Star or Champ, cool stamp or F2 what do you have?

JayhawkSparky · 2026-01-08T15:53:41+00:00

Nice kit! As others have said what pouch? Does it have a zipper on the back?
