    Default New from Wales, UK

    Hi, first time I have joined a pen forum. UK weather very annoying this time of year so thought I would join a pen forum to see how it goes.

    I have some Pelikan new and vintage, a 149, many Parker 51 pens and 45. Various others of less quality not worth the mention.

    I mainly use a black diamine ink because I bought 1000 ml bottle direct from their factory hahaha. Will never run out

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

    Wales was a suburban community just west of Paris in Lamar County. A post office was established in 1900 and discontinued in 1909, when the area was incorporated into Paris. No population estimates were available.

    Pelikan M800 in broad. Wanted to love this pen so much but it refuses to write how I prefer.

    I like a FP that you just touch the paper with virtually no pressure and it flows nicely.

    With this you need pressure.

    These Pelikan 800's are great, design as well as quality, wish I could afford one.

    The amount of pressure one needs to write comfortably is very personal. Maybe you can have the nib adjusted to improve the ink flow, hence less pressure needed.
