Opus 88 Bela

Opus 88 Bela Fountain Pen

This is my Opus 88 Bela fountain pen. Such a well made and beautiful pen. It's a large  pen and  holds an enormous amount of ink and has an eyedropper a filler. Used daily and always close to hand, I really think these pens are worth every penny and feel great to use.

            Opus 88

This is my Opus 88 demonstrator pen. The only thing I can say is it's brill. Ive had it some time now and it has never let me down. It's quite chunky and holds an awful amount of ink so less refilling. This is always close to hand and used daily. The unique filling system is an eyedropper which is supplied with the pen. 

This is such a good quality pen, with some great features

This is a photo I took a few years ago in Groudle  Glen. The bridge has been an inspiration for a few of my sketches and feel it is a great structure situated in a lovely area. The Electric Tram and roadway crosses above on way to Laxey.

Maughold Isle of Man

This is a sketch I took yesterday while it was dry, because only a few moments earlier had experienced a typical Manx winter weather, rain wind and a light sprinkling of hailstones for a few minutes followed by beautiful bright sunshine with calmness. Maughold Church is in the background I believe it dates back to 12th century. Location of many Celtic crosses in the churchyard.

 Some of my Favourite Pens

This is my trusty Parker Duofold with a 14ct gold nib a really nice pen.  I use it daily and as soon as I place nib on paper it just glides along the surface. I would guess it is around 1960's but if anyone can help me date that would be great thanks?
