The Fountain Pen Thread

Only joking.

Since I refuse to get sucked down the rabbit hole of knives.... I like this thread

 

Whats the latest Pen Andy?

 

The latest was a Platinum #3776 with a Soft Fine nib. I bought that a few months ago, and the SF is a brilliant nib. My goal for this year is to get some vintage Sheaffers and a couple Parker 51s restored. Those are all family pens that I'd like to use. Otherwise, I plan to buy a certain LE, should one cross my path, and maybe a #3776 Music stub with rhodium trim. I'm cooling it for pen purchases this year (compared to last year).

I really should just write a bunch of reviews for The Nib.

I like the 3776 I bought... itsbgonna hurt come tuesday when I have to mail it out for the PIF but the nib is to stiff fornme to really love it anyway... so I can spill ink here lol

 

Of course this would be here!

 

I seem to be settling in with Parker 45s. I'm really liking the thinner barrels. I'm a bit sad though, I've misplaced my very first FP I ever found - a maroon 45. It's in the house somewhere I know it is.
