Hello from Belgium
Hi I am rather a pen use not really a collector although i love to tinker with pens and nibs.
I have been writing with a fountain pen since I was 6 about 36 years now, but obviously my handwriting needs a lot of improvement. I was never really into collecting or restoring fountain pens, I simply love writing with them and that will remain my main focus. See the picture for what I am sporting lately. The Parker 51 was given to me years ago and I mainly use it for letters and daily use. The Parker 15 dates back to the mid 80's and was one of my schoolpens at the time. (started writing with a Parker 45 but lost it long time ago). The Waterman Hemisphere was a gift form my mother in the 90's. I don't use it that much since it has a medium nib and I prefer F to EF.
The Osmia I got from my grandfather but is not working currently it has a push button filler and needs restoration. Any tips or information that can help me get it back to work is welcome. It has the smoothest nib I ever encountered and would make a great daily writer.
