    Red face Hello from NJ

    Hello everyone,

    Just joined FPGeeks! I have been a fountain pen addict for two years, and I am also a member at FPN under the same user name. My favorite includes modern Lamy, Pelikan, and TWSBI and vintage fountain pens.

    Now I am starting to work on my penmanship using my newly acquired vintage Pelikan nibs. My next goal of fountain pens are Pelikan M620 Berlin and Stockholm.

    Hi Gentlyom and welcome to the FPG forum.


    If you like Pelikans (especially the M620 cities) I would suggest a vist to JustDaveyB's blog.

    Thanks Bogon07. I did see he collected all M620s, what a wonderful collection!! Especially I like that he uses the pens he collects. Can't imagine someone is selling the whole set on eBay for over 9,000!

    It is fun to see what ink he has loaded into a pen for the pens selected for use from his database.


    $9000 sounds a lot for a set twelve pens which works out at about $750 but I suppose some are very hard to find these days.

    It's true some of these are very hard to find now. But I simply can't justify paying over 500 for any of these pens. So, everyday I am telling myself to be patient and wait for it to show up on ebay. Therefore, buying these pens seems to become a long-term goal now.
