Diplomat Pens

I special ordered the A+ Rome Black/White with a gold M nib. The pen writes beautifully. My first “Excellence” - nice weight even posted and finish is flawless. The “white” rectangles are actually a very pale grey which tones it down. I really like it!

This is actually the second Aero that I bought from Pen Chalet. I bought an orange one a couple of weeks prior and I was so thrilled with it and the price was so good, that I bought a black one. I am equally thrilled with it. It is not a light pen, but it feels great to hold and write with. I don't post my pens and this pen does not post particularly well. I wanted an extra-fine nib, and I had read such good things about the Diplomat nibs that I thought this pen would the one to get in an EF. It is wonderfully smooth and wet. The pen is well-made, well-balanced, and, I think, very attractive. And, finally, Pen Chalet got my order out (both orders I have made with them) very expeditiously even though this is a busy time of year. I am pleased with the pen and with Pen Chalet!

Great writer for a beginner or intermediate user.

Love the look, balance, & weight. Very well made & will be using very regularly, probably an EDC. Even for and extra fine it writes pretty smooth

I love this fountain pen so much I bought a second one.

You have to hold it to appreciate its balance, design and craftsmanship. The nib is truly stellar and a joy to use on most paper I’ve tried. One of my best purchases.

I love the look and feel of the Aero and will likely get another. Ordered this with the XF nib (the F was sold out) and worried that it would be too thin, but it's fine and works great for my bullet journal. Great hand feel, comfortable and love the Zeppelin look!

I thought it would be slight grayish but the pictures don't do justice, It's the stealthiest diplomat or more likely the stealthiest metal pen i currently own. The Dark sleek body of the diplomat gives you the feeling of a cold weapon to slay away your writing activities. Totally recommend.

Great pen. The only choice of nib in medium lets the whole package shine, like keeping it focused was a good thing. The finish on my red model is a matte plastic; it is extremely light. Posting the cap is finicky. It can post snugly if you push but it gets stuck. The nib is smooth as can be, however.

Thank you, I am so glad to have found you on the web. I am enjoying ALL by recent purchases. Exactly what I was looking for and the customer service is 10++. I feel I can just call and talk like we are old friends!! You do not see this type of customer service much anymore. I will do business here anytime!! Sandy

A great starter fountain pen. No hassle, no mess...smooth ink delivery...highly recommend

I heard about this pen from a Pens and Tea video. Bought my first one loved the way it wrote and went back and bought the second one.
The first pen I bought the nib wrote smoothly right out the box. The second pen the nib needed a little fine tuning but instead I chose to swap out the "M" nib for a "F". They are a joy write with. The pen does feel light in weight but one can post it to add little more weight. It is a greater starter pen and it uses standard international cartridges. The pens are on sale so you can't go wrong buying one.

This a beautiful pen. Very elegant pen and a wonderful, smooth EF nib. So happy I took a chance and got this pen. I love it. I bought the Red Skyline and have no regrets. My first Diplomat and not my last.
And as always, outstanding customer service from Pen Chalet!

Write like a dream - seriously! The finishing and quality are excellent. I’ve purchased three consecutively. F.Y.I. they are heavy pens.

This is the best made pen I have handled so far and I have tried all the usual entry level gold nib pens. It is a good weight in my hand and well balance when unpost or posted. The nib has a beautiful logo on it. The flutes in the body and cap are seductive, I find myself fiddling with this pen when I am not writing with it. When I first saw pictures of this pen I thought it would be heavy and too fat, but I was wrong. This is pretty much my favorite pen other than handmade pen I have. Give it a try.

This exactly what I was looking for in a fountain pen. My previous two pens have been Pilot Metropolitan and Lamy Safari. The Pilot is a great pen, very smooth and trouble free. I've never really liked the aesthetic, though. It's a little too fancy as if belongs in a bank. The Safari has an aesthetic that I like better although I've never been impressed with the pen. The nib feels scratchy and I often have rough starts. It's also HUGE. The large size draws a lot of attention and is uncomfortable for me to use.

The Magnum is perfect. The aesthetic is subdued and proletarian much more to my liking. The size is great. Its thin body makes it look like a regular pen and although it's a nice-looking pen, it doesn't draw much attention.

The performance is great. I popped a cartridge in and it worked immediately. Not as smooth as the Metropolitan but nowhere near as scratchy as the Safari. To me, it's perfect.

Pen Chalet was great. I live in Tucson which is about 100 miles from Pen Chalet. Amazingly, I received my order the next day after ordering. Not saying this will be the case for everyone but the order was packed and shipped immediately. Will definitely order again.

I am very impressed with this pen, it’s well balanced were not posted, the Nube is exceptionally smooth and accurate with no heart starts very beautiful consistent line. I was lucky to get it in the beautiful color as well (red). I would certainly recommend it, especially to an experienced rider looking for a very worthwhile and long lasting pen.

So, I have 4 of these Diplomat Magnums...Gray, Blue and 2 Red...Love the springy nibs and lightweight feel. Very consistent writing between the four....At $12.50...Do yourself a favor and stock up before they're gone.

A really nice pen. I like the design and the fell of this pen. It's a lighter pen than I normally use but it feels comfortable in the hand. It post securely and remains balanced. The best feature of this pen is it's smooth writing somewhat springy JoWo steel nib.

Super lightweight!

This is my new favorite pen. Bought mine with a Fine nib, and it's so smooth I'm thinking an EF would be good too. The best think about the pen is the distinctive click when replacing the cap. I can see owning this pen in multiple color and nib combinations.

I choose the fine nib to see how a steel nib compared to my med 14 K Aero pen. The fine nib was a very nice smooth nib and did a great job when I wrote with this pen in long writing sessions. Felt great in my hand. I love these pens so much I had to order the 14K Gold Broad nib for my pen reviews. A special thank you to Tom for letting me know the up coming sale .

Really nice pen, smooth writer.

Fantastically valued pen! The Magnum has a nicely understated look - casual and still perfectly respectable. The nib writes fantastically smoothly, and with its fairly flexible, stub-like nib, anything you write has a surprisingly nice bit of character. I have already recommended this in person and think it is a fantastic option for someone looking for a great writing experience at a reasonable price.

One of the best nibs in the business it’s wonderfull
