    Default Hello from Greece!

    Hello everyone!

    I am new both to this forum and to the world of fountain pens. I started out doing calligraphy with brushes, moved on to pointed nibs and after my wife bought me on of those Online calligraphy sets I was hooked. Now I own a bit of everything both new and vintage FPs although old ones are my main interest! I don't think I have something of extreme value, other than to myself! I have an old Morrison I found at a flea market and restored, a Parker victory I got from Ebay, an esterbrook as I guess everyone else here, Osmiroids, Sheaffers... a bit of everything. I like FPs with flexible nibs since I do calligraphy commissions and they do help a lot and lately I am searching for a flexible Eversharp Skyline that wont cost me an arm and a leg! :-D

    Hi there, welcome!
    Glad to see another Greek joining and interested in FPs. If you are in Athens, happy to wake up early on a Sunday and have patience, you must visit the flea market in Elaionas. Lots of vintage fountain pens there at very good prices!

    You have to be there 7AM the latest. And with lots of patience, it's a huge outdoor market with all sorts of stuff. If you go later, it will be too busy and the good stuff may have already been sold.

    It's fitting that a fountain pen forum should have such a strong contingent from a cradle of the West's literature. Welcome from Chicago!

    Thank you very much ! I am gradually becoming a true fountain pen addict ! I have completed my starter's collection with an amazing pilot metropolitan ! I am also filling them up with Noodler's Bernanke Black, Iroshizuku Kon-Peki and Lamy red. Such a great way to have a productive day ! I am about to move forward with platinum and sailor and most probably with a capless pilot! Big fan of the Japanese school!
