    Default WTB Stylographic fountain pen

    Hello.

    I am looking for a stylographic fountain pen with a reasonable price.
    I prefer a vintage one but it is not a big deal.
    It should work as it has to be.

    Will be paid by paypal

    Please PM me. :-)

    I realize you requested vintage, but you can still buy Rapidographs new.

    Is a Rotring Rapidograph technical pen the same thing? If so I've bought several Isographs on ebay for bargain prices..

    Hi. The rotring rapidograph type technical pens have a much sharper tip and are not good for writing, and were designed to be used pretty much upright
    The stylographic tips are quite smooth and designed for an almost ball tipped FP writing experience.
    Often stylo pens have gold tipped points whilst the technical pens are always steel in my experience.

    It is a good idea to stipulate working' 👍🏻 because they can be very tricky to fix !! There are two types…the needle on a spring, and the needle on a drop weight . The needle has to move smoothly and freely inside the nib tube ,otherwise it simply won’t work…

    There’s a few on the bay, but they are either way too much, or not tested ( which is a dangerous gamble )

    Mabie Todd made a small one which is often relatively cheap ..I think it was called the 'Cygnet ?

    Here’s one on Etsy, and the guy says he has several !!!! And they are new old stock !!!

    Ps. The guy is David Nishimura !! So you can trust him implicitly, and he has quite a few others on his site . 👍🏻👍🏻
