Besides audio, my other (non sports) hobbies include fountain pen collecting and watches. Been collecting fountain pens for 25 years or so, but that said, I don't buy so much anymore, just enjoy what I have which is both vintage and some modern.
Yes I am also an expensive pen collector. This is an unfortunate circumstance, having two costly hobbies at once. I have paid a lot more for audio than for pens ink and paper. I haven't bought a pen for $1K but I have shelled out more than that for audio gear. What pens have you got that you can tell me about. My biggest pen expenses run in the category of standard Omas and Pelikan.
So, what name brand pens are considered high end, and where does Parker rate? I remember growing up in Japan back in the sixties - whenever my Mom's Japanese friends wanted a good fountain pen they would ask her if she could get them a Parker from the PX. They seemed to think Parker were the best.
