My hand got a bit tired towards the end of that but a little more about myself: I've used fountain pens for over the last 10 years (initial lineup was a waterman carene, pilot VP, MB145 and a few lamys to toss around) but had to stop for a while there due to the workplace requiring a pen that could go through carbon paper (I initially thought there were no fountain pens that could do this) that led me to do a little research where I found this site plus the FP reddit and FPN as well as a host of youtube channels that have popped up over the years as well as the purchase of a manifold nib pen as well as a rotring core (the nib could probably be used as a weapon) at the beginning of the year. Since then, my fountain pen addiction has been growing without any checks (to hell with electronic records and carbon paper).

My current collection includes:
- Sailor pro gear slim
- Visconti opera club
- Pelikan m805
- Pilot Justus
- Lamy 2000
- Sheaffer Imperial triumph c. 1960
as well as a host of noodlers, indian and chinese pens

Pleasure to meet everyone!

Hi Zhen. Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing with us your Copperplate handwriting.

Copperplate script is still one of my favourites but due to lack of time I have not practiced it lately.

:welcome: I wish that I could write like that (I am too lazy to learn), and a very good choice for an intro post.
