I was about 15 minutes outside downtown La, it was definitely large! 

 

 

 

 

That's a bit of a monster.  Nice find

Curious, but I could not find it... How do you get there?

Jiffypens, how does this compare to Watermans #18 and 20s?

 

Compared to a #8 nib, it's pretty close in size. The #20s, I believe, are larger but I don't have a nib on hand to compare them.

Geha made some really nice pens. I have a couple older ones that write nicely.

So, he has at least openly admitted that his pen is a reproduction. However, it doesn't seem to be marked as a reproduction on the pen itself. If it truly "can not be distinguished from the original" as he claims, then couldn't some unscrupulous buyer pass it off at a later date as an original pen?

That's the problem, a lot of buyers won't be able to distinguish between an original and a non-original. Unfortunately, it almost looks like this could turn into the 51 epidemic if a change to the pen isn't added soon. The guy makes damn good copies, but makes no effort to make sure they're looked at as copies. If I saw that Parker in a buy it out or at the swap meet at a decent price, I'd buy it without question..now we have to question things.
I've watch montblancs always faked, plenty of 51's, but I didn't expect mandarin duofolds one day.

I write with a paper-mate pen on most occasions

When I feel like using my pens though, I have a Sheaffer Levenger rollerball that writes excellent, as well as a Moore's fingertip.
