A friend of mine gave me this pen years ago, but I have not been able to find out anything about it.

I own a P3150 Porsche design fountain pen, but a few months ago the leather inserts got damaged and I couldn’t have the inserts replaced. Porsche design and a bunch of other pen repair shops won´t do it, so in looking for options I was able to replace the leather inserts with carbon fiber vinyl.

Hello
Just started to get more into pens recently. Also, in the early stages of learning calligraphy.

Not looking to spend a fortune…

Would you guys be so kind as to recommend a fountain pen for somebody who knows almost nothing about them? Preferably something without too much of a learning curve. I’m guessing that something will take cartridges so I won’t have to deal with an inkwell and something that won’t leak.

Pens are kind of like watches. I have lots. But for some reason the Parker 75 has always been my favourite. My dad used to let me use his ciselé, but never let me take it to school – so at 16 I bought a Parker Sonnet. That pen I also loved. It got me through all my notes and exams in high school and university, but it was fussy, prone to air pressure changes and blotting ink. It got worse after years of abuse. I switched to my Cross, but nice as it was, still not right.
