Fountain Pens News and Stories

Welcome to our Pen Pages.

We will slowly insert some stories on fountain pens, which I wrote over the years.

We also added some fountain pen catalogues for download as PDF.

Pens For Sale, you always find on our website PENBOARD.DE 

Below, I started a little BLOG,  just a test, to see, if this might be a nice way of showing some nice new finds, offers, repair ideas ecc. including the possibility for you to add your comments.

Best regards

Cap and barrel of this very rare pen are made from green marbled celluloid. Nib is a fine tip manifold IBIS nib.

The final design ?

silver rings fit

No sure not, this pen will keep on being studied, to get more tiny alterations, maybe a new section, more like a vintage Parker section?, maybe a second black ring near the blindcap?   At least, it already feels like a finished product. Uffa ! 

The next step of creating a new design...

OK, now the whole cap top is 6 sided, very nice effect, the slightly rounded facets. Still needs a clip design, and this will take a while.... Today, I´ll fit two silver cap bands.

These Compressor pens are real hard to come by.

Actually, as a model 2 F this is the first one I have had in my 15 years of pen life.
