The Nib acquisitions for 2022

[EclipseRedRing]

I just found this at a charity shop or thrift store to my US friends, an uninked Campo Marzio Forbes pen in a gift set with a nice quality notepad, cartridges, and a converter. I don't know anything about this brand but it appears to have a metal body and the lacquer seems high quality, with a steel medium nib. Does anyone use this brand or know anything about them?

Sorry, I know nothing about the brand, but it does have a Lamy Safari flavor to it.

The clip reminds me of my Jinhao 599. Perhaps it is the same/similar pen with different branding

I use ARKO, so it's easy to understand why I ordered these for $18.99. My son has one, and I like it.

A Noodlers Konrad roller inkball. The new style with the closed tip. Loaded it with Diamine Imperial Purple. Its writes really smooth and handles like a FP.

Jinhao 992 fresh from Ali Express. Was bored one day at lunch and decided to spend the $2.15 to get one. Brown demonstrator. My first experience with Jinhao and I’m surprised at how smooth it writes. The only thing I don’t like is the cheap feel of the plastic but otherwise it’s a very nice pen. I’m going to take it to work and not worry if it grows legs and walks away. Best $2.15 I’ve ever spent. Lol.

Cheap plastic feels like money to me. I like my Jinhao Sharks.

I found a Pelikan M200 Smokey Quartz at a serious discount so I grabbed it. I’m pretty happy with it.

That's a nice looking pelikan. Congrats!

Good day Nib fans
I’ve made an impulsive buy. A benu fp. Limited edition pomegranate color. Medium nib.
I’ve seen some limited references to Benu on the nib sub so I’d appreciate some feedback

Aurora 88 fine flex nib. Got this one the auction site. Not sure how long it will take to get here from Italy.

Now that I’ve used it at work for a bit the feel issues have been forgotten. It’s a fantastic pen. So smooth!

My pen has been refunded. They said they were going over it before shipment and there was a problem with the piston.

That's too bad. They are wonderful pens, and the flex nib one I have is quite fun!

I started 2022 with a very nice Stylomine 303d. Why, it is yet another pen says the wife?
The filling mechanism is 'French' so nothing similar to others I have seen before, a bit like the Citroen DS of old when it hit the market.
It writes nicely, copyright of hooded nib is prior to Parker's 51, and the shape is 'chubby' but comfortable in the hand.

As you can see it uses an accordium sac, you fill it by pumping on the end bulb, glass encased, and when is full you can see the colour in the bulb. There is a breather tube inside the sac, a bit like the Parker Vacumatic.
Happy new year

Acquired a Montblanc #146, a display model, It never held ink. Medium nib. Sm-o-o-o-th.
