First Impressions - Bismarck 150

[@JSkyMusicOfficial]

I think the small biro refill is a D1 refill. Very small mini refill for multi-pens and combo pens and those sort of things. Rather cheap to get a generic one of Amazon.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I ordered from Amazon, so I'll update everyone when it arrives. Thank you for identifying it!

They're also used in Swiss Army knives that include pens. ​@@WaskiSquirrel

[@JSkyMusicOfficial]

@@WaskiSquirrel Any updates? Does it fit?

[@Otrain82]

Lighting a tad on darker side but i do not think the levels need to be adjusted. Interesting video, when i saw Bismarck, i thought must be a product of North Dakota.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

Something was very off with the lighting on me. I'm not sure what was going on there because those settings really haven't changed. Did I bump a setting on the lamp that lights me? Thank you for commenting on it. I filmed 3 videos like this, so I hope I can figure it out next time I film.

Very nice pen. How kind of a person to gift you with a pleasant writer. Thanks for a great video, as always.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I agree: a nice pen and I'm surprised they just gave it away.

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery, proving that he Parker 45 sure was a classic. Thanks for showing us this novelty.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I'm writing with it again. It really is a nice pen!

[@theprof_001]

A unique pen! Enjoyed the video.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

Thank you! It's definitely unique!

I’ve a few made in India dual-nibbed fountain pens. But it’s the first time I’m seeing a FP - Ballpoint combo ! You should be happy and proud to own a pen named after your state’s capital, but from a German company !

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I suspect the pen is not named after the capital. I think the pen and the captal are both named for Otto van Bismarck, who unified Germany.

[@leebalmforth2269]

I thought you was going to talk about Otto von Bismarck 😂

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I suspect the pen's name coems from him...

[@ThePenofaReadyWriterVarney]

There is a Ballpen and a Fountain Pen as one called the "Waldmann Two In One Ballpoint and Fountain Pen". Very good video!

[@WaskiSquirrel]

Good to know. Thank you!

[@archivist17]

Interesting!

[@WaskiSquirrel]

Glad you think so!

[@danilvinyukov2060]

"Let's try. Ot to sink it". Lol Bismarck, the man, ship and city

[@WaskiSquirrel]

haha!!!

Cool idea, if I had one years ago I would not have carried a bp to write checks with carbons and sign those credit card carbon recipets. Ha, ha, of course had I known my Parker 61 was designed as a nail so it could make carbons, then I would have never carried a bp. Actually a great idea for EDC. I’m going to check out that Waldeman that another commentator mentioned.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I can see a use case for these combo pens, as long as refills are available. I'm going to try a suggested refill live on my next PiU.
