Newbie here, be kind [emoji106]

[busmatt]

Hello folks, I’m new here and new to Fountain pens, I’ve been interested in vintage watches for years and a recent change of lifestyle, one which resulted in me loosing 4 stone, has led me to re-imagine my style and the Edwardian style is where I’ve come to rest, as a result of this I’ve been perusing many antiques emporiums and came across a nice Parker which I duly purchased, this led me to find another one with its corresponding mechanical pencil.

The first one was this Duofold

The Duofold I washed out with water and it’s worked faultlessly ever since but the 17 pen set needed more work than I was comfortable doing so I sent them away for service and they’ve been great so far.

My father has a Slimfold that’s currently out for service, I’ll post pictures when it arrives back.

Thanks for reading this

Great understated pens, Matt.

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks Deb, I find it’s really nice to use a fountain pen, there’s something fundamental about it.

Welcome to the club.

Im going to guess based on the pens shown that you are in the Uk somewhere.

Welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell.

Welcome. Folks are pretty kind here. Sometimes someone gets grumpy, but it is a good crowd.

Another newbie into watches here - I’m an amateur watchmaker based in the UK, mainly appreciative of vintage - watches, pens, transport and clothing.

Welcome to the group! I'm also a newbie here but that is one pretty pen, congrats on the purchase of those beauties
