Hi Line,

 

there is the Sailor King Eagle nib.

Unfortunately I used a completely inadequate paper coated inkjet paper and drawed on the wrong uncoated side, so it feathered like crazy. :(

Be patient, this is my second drawing since 20 years ;)

 

Feathering may be appropriate for this drawing! :headsmack: It wouldn't be an Eagle without feathers ;)

Line - Your dog is adorable! Also I am going to post some Eagle Pen Co pens for you to see. If you like birds look up an Osprey.

 

Pterodactylus - You have many nice pens, I believe you should add a couple Soenneckens!!

 

I am still reading from page 115!!!!

Good point, Luma; feathering is good for an eagle :D

The nib on my Commander Senior is really a good writer. I think it might be a Degussa nib:

Thanks for clarifying this. It's kind of strange because online at Goulet's the two ink look so different, but in this thread they look very similiar. I'll have to get a sample of each sometime and see which one I like best with my pens.

Close up of the pen. Does anyone know what company made this pen? I'm so curious...

OH, these pens are really interesting! Thank you very much for posting! If I could make a wish, I would have wanted to see closeups of the nibs :)

Steve, I could go on and on about Margaret River Shiraz - the best I've ever had and, sadly, never available here. But even better were the folks we met. I'd live there if I could find a job!

Pterodactylus; you're right about the brand with the Kangaroo, and this is one of them. (you'd think that they would be Ozzy pens with such a logo!)

 

dcpritch; I'm glad you enjoyed the local produce and that you were looked after well.

Sorry to hear about the drought, I suppose it's like 'swings and roundabouts': you guys get the pen shows and we get the shiraz!

Thank you, tringle! These are new to me. Seems they were ahead of their time regarding ink storage/supply mechanisms.

 

I thought I had all the flex nibs I could dream of, but now I see that an eagle is missing in my collection.

Very smooth! -- Name and make of the ink please. Your kangaroo turquoise is beautiful. The ink, even more so!! Thanks.

 

Cheers!

I see dead fountain pens!

The ink scanned darker than what it really looks like. It's more of a pink on this paper.
