Hi all

I am a very recent fountain pen convert and have bitten the bullet and bought a few niceish pens to see how I get on. Mainly I am using a TWSBI ECO and Kaweco Brass sport.

Now, I have a few old pens that seem to have been passed around my family for the last 20 years, none of my family are that into pens - they just like to horde things. I was under the impression that they were probably all junker pens, battered and crusted with old ink so have not paid them any attention until earlier today. Turns out, while I was correct about most of them, one is a Parker 75 with a nice 14k gold nib! What a nice surprise for a Saturday evening :)

The "75" is one of my favorites.

Sometimes those old junkers are collectible for some pen lovers....
