Information for the beginner Fountain Pen Collector:

Every hobby has its own language. It seems to me that everything is now being shortened to acronyms. We are all being asked to remember acronymsf for all sorts of phrases. These terms or acroyns seem normal to the long time collector but can be quite daunting to the newcomer who doesn't know what they stand for. Here are a few terms you may come into contact with while persuing your hobby. I will add more as I use them on this site.

NOS- new old Stock

BCHR- Black Chased Hard Rubber- referring to the older rubber pens and pencils

Hood- is the plastic covering the nib in some parker 51's and some other models

Section- is the part of the fountain pen which holds the nib

VISULATED- visible ink supply  plus insulated ink chamber
