About Our New Pens

Pelikan Majesty

We are an authorized retailer for Bexley, Classic Pens Inc., Conway Stewart, Namiki & Pilot, Pelikan, and Signum. We also have a few other bargains, specials, and consignment pens that are just too good to pass up. The new pens we offer are carefully selected models that we hope will appeal to a broad range of users. We’ve chosen these particular pens because, as a pen repairer and user, I’m confident in their quality and reliability. Some have specialty nibs such as italics or stubs, and prices for these pens include the nib modification. Others have stock nibs that are candidates for customizing, and regrinding charges begin at $35.00 to customize a nib to your hand. I’m always happy to help you in choosing a pen or a nib customization that you’ll find pleasing; if you have questions about the suitability of a pen you’re considering, feel free to send mail.

Sizes and Weights of Our Various Brands

To help you decide which pen might suit you best in terms of size and weight, each brand’s page includes a section with a composite photo of the pens that we offer from that company, together with their measurements. You can also compare the sizes of any brand’s pens against those of other brands’ pens on our Compare Pens Side by Side page.

Pens That Write Right!

If the nib’s no good, it doesn’t matter how fancy the rest of the pen is — it’s not a good pen.

Unless otherwise requested at the time of sale, I tune each new pen or nib at no extra charge before shipment. I fill the pen with Waterman Blue-Black ink and write with it on paper from the same fountain pen friendly pads we sell, adjusting as necessary to bring it up to the RichardsPens.com “factory” standard for smoothness and flow. The result is an adjusted nib, not a customized one.

Different inks or different papers can produce different results. Any special adjustment to accommodate your flow preference or a specific ink or paper comes under the heading of customization, and there will be an additional charge for that work.

Looking for a Custom Nib?

To see how easy it is to order a pen with its nib customized for you, read the instructions in this pop-up. If you order a new pen with a customized nib, I will modify the nib (for an extra charge) and ship the pen immediately instead of putting it into my regular queue.

About Our Specialty Nibs

My handcrafted specialty nibs give you a very easy way to explore line variation, ultrafine points, and other nibs not generally offered. We offer handcrafted nibs for your Pelikan M2nn, M4nn, or M6nn pen (including M620 City Series, M700 Toledo, and “1931” and “1935” limited editions), and for your Namiki (Pilot) Vanishing Point. I regrind standard nibs into italic, oblique italic, and stub italic points that yield beautiful line variation yet retain superb ease in the hand. Each nib is painstakingly hand finished, smoothed, and adjusted for proper flow. These complete interchangeable nib/feed assemblies are usually in stock for immediate delivery. (Vanishing Point units come complete with piston converters.)
