Thread: Anyone on FP?

not sure what the range is but I would spend up to 50 for vintage or new?

Pilot sells a disposable fountain pen, the varsity. It cost a few bucks. It lasts a long time and then you throw it away. They also make the vanishing point which is a very nice piece around $120 I think.

As with most things you have an idea of what you will pay and then it gets shattered.

Ok, I realize this is not a fountain pen but my dad and I hand turn these executive style pens.....oh and here's the link.

Cheers guys,

I have a Montblanc roller ball that I love but can afford to get a FP from them. I would like something that looks the same.

Did you find one? If not, I may be able to scrounge up a starter pen for you, if you like. Shoot a PM my way if that interests you at all. For your price range, new, I would look into the Lamy's. Very smooth and durable. I would suspect you to be quite pleased.

Wow! Didn't realize so many of you guys were into FP's. That's awesome.

Brock, I saw the link in the classifieds those are beautiful pens. How did you get into that?

Hi Speckey,

What kind of fountain pen are you after? Fountain pens have about a million and one variables, so you need to be REALLY specific in knowing what you want before you go out and get one. Fountain pens can be good like that, because you can sort of like 'custom-decide' your pen, but at the same time, all the choices can be quite overwhelming!
