A good site for Pen History.

This is a good site for all things WI's. Good resource for things like cleaning your pens and so on.

The histories on manufacturers are concise and good reading.

Enjoy!

Thanks so much for this Richard, it is an excellent site!
Wow this pen forum is really getting going. I think I will do a review of the Nakaya when it arrives this week. It would be good to get a sticky review thread going as a reference don't you think?

Yes. I think we will probably need several stickys like Ink Reviews, Pen Reviews, Resources, and so forth.

This forum is a great idea and I continue to be amazed at how many TRF members also relish their writing instruments. More by far than I thought!

It means in Chinese - "Do not proceed beyond this sign unless you are accompanied by an expert bushwalker/guide" Looks like a forest walk to me.
The English version is hilarious though
