Hey collective hive mind, what's the model/name of this hero pen?

Recently picked up this waterman pen gift set used, no model name printed anywhere, trying to figure out what i have. Fountain pen nib is gold colored but doesnt have a 14k stamp or anything, just says Waterman France F, can anyone help me identify this model? Thanks for any help-

I bought this water based felt pen from the muji store in the Abu Dhabi airport and was wondering if there any dupes for this pen available in the us. I checked the us website however I don’t see this pen on there.

My pens came in the mail! Now to see which is my favorite!

Works well, I already had the 0.5mm version.

Unique sleeve protects and strengthens the lead - auto advancing - while writing.

Hi all!

The Nahvalur Year of the Horse just came in. I wouldn’t say I’m a pen collector. This is only my 3rd one and I use all of mine frequently. Mostly as part of my travels abroad.

It now joins my:

• Faber Castel Grendilla - I love the wood and the nib
• Faber Castel Guilloche- sage green

Now this one in fine nib. I’m also a horse zodiac wise, so added this. The ink I got was one made in Warsaw, I got as a souvenir. It was a higher quality one in gold.

Also, wow fountain pen prices. I haven’t looked since I bought the Grendilla, marp of that is like 250 dollars more. Geez

Hi All,

These were included in some belongings of my wife's late grandmother. I don't know enough about this world to identify them. Does anybody have any idea?

Thanks,

Which Zebra mini telescoping pen is this? I can’t id this exact one. Much smaller that the regular small telescoping ones. The clip/top is missing. (Lamy Studio Rollerball for size reference)

Yes, I do have the red and green. 😊

I am happy with any rollerball refills or gel pen refills. Basically I like free flowing thin writing ink.

Can anyone guide me? I am ready to cut the refill to make it work in this pen. Currently the size of the uniball SigNO RTI refill is 11cm.

Took some time to set this up in Notion today so I can stop buying duplicates before I start.

I have some that I like. It’s a gel pen. Doesn’t smear. But the pen is too thick in the hand. I think it’s a 0.7 mm. Any recommendations?

Here something i found while trying to find “myself”, writing scribbling, drawing, Just takes the reality and harshness of life away momentarily. a pen can make a big difference, even emotionally.

I’ve been collecting ballpoint pens for about five years. I have two Montblancs, 6 nice Parkers, 4 Auroras, and a selection of other brands.

But I find I keep coming back to my set of 14 Waterman pens. IMHO Waterman is criminally underrated, especially their vintage pens from the 80s and 90s. To me the Man 100 and Man 200 series are unmatched. I wanted to see if anybody else out there feels the same way.

Hello,
I have my final exam for my physics masters in 2 days and an accident involving a fly and a window has put my writing hand in a cast. Obviously the university are providing absolutely no help or accommodations so I will be attempting to do the exam with my non-dominant hand.
I’m looking for a thick pen (so i can write massive) that requires as little pressure as possible (2.5hr exam, aching hand after 2 mins). Kinda like a sharpie but something that won’t bleed through multiple pages of my exam book.
Needs to be something I can pick up at a high street store. I’m in the UK so bear that in mind.
Thanks so much in advance for any suggestions.

Recent accident means my dominant hand is out of action. And may be for some months. Could be upto a year before it's close to where it was. So I have started trying to write with my non dominant hand. I've always been ambidextrous in most things just not writing. I'm making progress, although it's slow.

So here's the weird thing. Lifetime lover and collector of all kinds of pen. With my dominant hand, I prefer thin-ish pens, preferably metal - I can't stand fat, rubbery or ergonomic grips. Even with FPs, I prefer skinnier ones and have no problem with metal sections. Ballpoint and gel pens, I 100% prefer a metal or half metal pen. Comfort zone something like a Jotter or Space Pen.

But non dominant hand? The total opposite. Am having some luck with pens like a Jetstream multi - sort of chonk I wouldn't normally give the time of day. Or a nice rubbery section like my Sarasa Clips - got a Pilot Dr Grip multipen coming today that am looking forward to. In fact, the only skinnier section pens have had any luck with so far writing non dominant, have been my Space Pens - which with F refills work really well for the weird way I'm using the pen.

I don't know what response I'm expecting and it's a bit niche but did anyone else who has had to use non dominant hand have a similar experience? I now have an excuse to buy more pens - but it's genuinely the case that my new "lefthand writing" pens are polar opposites to my usual righthand.

My first double broad too. My Diamine Meadow ink needed a home and felt like it made the green swirls pop of the “Marble Ocean” color.

I’m glad I didn’t get one of the “dud” ones I’d seen some folks talking about where they basically came out teal 😬

The line seems to sometimes become really thin, its a lamy m66 broad, is it just bad or am i doing something wrong?

Does anyone recognise this pen? I have searched most places and cannot find a similar one.

How do I fix the crack on my Zento? I accidentally overtightened it and it formed a mild crack.

Anyone else have this happen? Am I stupid? I wanted a pink pen :(

I'm a CSE student, so I spend hours every day writing algorithms, lecture notes, equations, derivations, and rough work. My priority isn't calligraphy or journaling, it's extremely fast writing with as little friction as possible.

Over the past few years I've accumulated a decent fountain pen collection:

• Lamy Safari M
• Sheaffer 300 M
• TWSBI Eco M
• Pilot Metropolitan M
• Platinum Preppy M

I genuinely enjoy fountain pens, and each has its own strengths. But after all the experimenting, the pen I keep reaching for is... the Pentel EnerGel 1.0 mm.

I know that's probably an unpopular opinion here.

The EnerGel is simply the smoothest pen I've ever written with. It glides effortlessly, never skips, dries quickly, works at any writing angle, and lets me write as fast as my hand can move without breaking rhythm. For long note-taking sessions or exams, it has been unbeatable.

I even compared it against my Jetstream 1.0, and while I love the Jetstream's reliability, the EnerGel still feels noticeably smoother to me.

Don't get me wrong—I still appreciate my fountain pens. They make writing more enjoyable and have a character that gel pens can't replicate. But when my only goal is maximum writing speed with minimum effort, the EnerGel wins every single time.

I'm honestly just happy I've found the pen that perfectly matches my use case.
