Lisa makes quality control and protects my set of Pilot Iroshizuku inks on March 16, 2019. Lisa is blind which doesn't hinder her to be found on all tables and chairs.

On July 3, 2019, she inspected an incoming package from La Couronne du Comte.

What did she know that she would have soon some helpers to do that work.

The new ones helped me choosing a new pen, inspecting every pen on a huge list: October 4, 2019.

Please try and identify the non-pen artifact in the picture. I know it is difficult. November 23, 2020

Brothers of my cats (same mother) - special editions 2019, 2020 and 2021 - unfortunately all of them have died due to illness or car accidents. In memoriam.

Tom and Lisa show interest in a cloth from Bokumondoh.

I don't call myself a collector - I am a hoarder. Not only do I hoard pens, but also inks and papers and - cats.

Waldmann Pen's catalogs 2008-2025

The company Waldmann Pens exists since more than 100 years. Due to destruction of the Waldmann factory including the archives during WWII, all information before this event is lost. After the death of the founder in 1964, the owner changed several times until in 2007, the recent owner, Stefan Schnirch, took over. And only since his start, catalogs of the produced models exist. You can see and download the catalogs from 2008 until 2025 from my Goggle Drive. I got permission from Mr. Schnirch to offer them here. GoogleDrive

Argentium alloys replace some of the copper in the traditional sterling silver (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) with the metalloid germanium. Argentium 935, Argentium 940 and Argentium 960 alloys exceed the standard required for hallmarking as sterling silver, and Argentium 960 silver meets the standard for hallmarking as Britannia silver (95.84% silver). Silvadium, Sterlium is 93% silver, and other metals Sterling silver is an alloy composed by weight of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925. and then there i...

"Gemini pens"

It's play time. I asked Gemini to create some fountain pens. Unfortunately, Gemini still has some problems in creating a fountain pen. I am still working on how to make reliably such a pen with Gemini. The problem could be with my prompts or it could be on the Gemini side. Nevertheless - enjoy!
