Fountain pen shows are the single best way to learn about the hobby. There will be a number of knowledgeable collectors and dealers that can answer most of your questions. Even the smallest show will have hundreds or thousands of pens offered for sale or for display.  The shear number of items being offered can be daunting to the novice collector.  At the same time the wide variety of offerings will give you the chance for a real, hands on educational experience. Click on the Pen Show Activities button for a better idea on what happens at a show.  The History of Pen Shows is a great history of the beginning of shows by Don Lavin.
