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

A RARE IBIS in green marbled
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 ?
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.
My first no. 2 Compressor pen
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.
