I like mine. I have several of the most common (not the latest) type, all bought new, but I don't have your experience of up-market pens with gold nibs etc. PenHero has an article on No Nonsense pens here: http://penhero.com/PenGallery/Sheaffer/SheafferNoNonsense.htm</p> <p>No Nonsense pens turn up fairly frequently on eBay, still some unused ones, usually quite low prices, though the posher ones with gold-plated (not solid gold!) nibs and marbled or chased barrels are rarer and more expensive. eBay occasionally turns up the first type of Calligraphy Set which has one black-barrelled pen, three nibs in Broad, Medium and Fine italic, and four cartridges of different-coloured inks. Nice way to get a variety of nib widths.</p> How are you getting on with your Sheaffer No Nonsense pen? I like mine.

Glad you like it – the No 5 Fountain Pen was our favourite of the new range – the nib is quite similar to old Parker pens from the 80s.

They're supposed to be good little pens, though, and can even be used as eyedropper fillers if you add a bit of silicone grease to the barrel threads.</p> Sam has the No Nonsense, but I don’t think she’s used it much yet.

Only had it a few hours but it write very nicely. Am using Private Reserve ink in the converter so have to see how things go as it beds in . First impressions - very nice looking and writes well, comfortable size and grip.</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Charles</p> Just a quick note to say that the Platignum No 5 FP received very recently from Cult Pens ( great service, thank you) is a fabulous throw back to my school days and the platignums and osmiroids that i used to then love.

Myself, I prefer stamps. But it's just so frustrating that some of the ones I'd like to get are so expensive.</p> You seem to have a pretty nice pens collection.It’s nice to have a collecting hobby.
