Hello from The Netherlands
Until the end of last year, life was simple.
After graduation, my parents gave me an engraved Sheaffer Targa. It had a sloppy converter, so it leaked on business trips by airplane. In remedy thereof, after another graduation, my parents gave me a Montblanc 147 Traveler. I changed the nib from M to F and was, still am, very happy with it. I changed from black to blue ink.
I also got, at one point, as a business gift, a Montblanc Starwalker. And although I loved writing with it, the design (the one with rubber squares) never really appealed to me much. So ultimately I sold it, and got a Pelikan M800 in return.
That was January of this year.
In the search for the Pelikan, the rabbit hole opened...and now, not even four months later, I additionally own 8 pens, have 5 more on order, I filled a drawer with ink and paper, and I had accessoires shipped over from Japan, the US, and even Bosnia Herzegovina.
So where this will end? Bankruptcy perhaps, but probably not with registering with this wonderful forum…which I gladly do anyways. Hoping to learn more and perhaps contribute a bit.
Thanks for having me!
