Tough to choose. I have a PFM-III with a stub nib that is always in use. I also have a Vacumatic Senior Max also always in the rotation.

However, if I had to pick just one, it would be my LeBoeuf #75:

..... Goldfink Wunderfuller .....

 

hi .. that Goldfink looks absolutely gorgeous ...

...you must take a look at this Goldfink... ...I'll take some more pics of all my Goldfinks, and post them. They are among my absolute favorites :cloud9:

 

Hi. .thanks for the link ..

usually i will do a quick google search before i post anything so as not to waste bandwidth ...

but i was in a bit of rush and was toooo excited ... i recognised it as an old german brand , never thought it would be "nos" (sort of) ....

i completely forgot tom w was making his own 'replicas' (?) ...

next time i will take a deep breathe & quiten down first ..cheers

Here is my first Aurora pen. The nice FedEx man just dropped it off this morning. I'm still new to the pen lingo but I think the nib is a little "toothier" so far as compared to my M800 italic, but I think it just needs a slightly different angle of approach. I love it so far. I prefer unposted, and the Talentum is actually just a bit longer than the M800 unposted, so I'm thinking this one is going to get a lot of ink time. Thanks for looking at my new and only all-black fountain pen.

The only pens I have are black. My favorite of the 2 (Sigh... only 2.) is my Eserbrook LJ which is the one on top with the cap posted.

Pens I currently own:

Esterbrook LJ, and an Esterbrook J

 

Pens in red are my go to pens.

 

Pens on my wish list:

A nice Pelikan; M200 or higher

Since I only have 4 FPs and they are all black, it is better to show them all instead of choosing one.

I have posted the pictures in a separate post on this forum:

Ok, if I had to pick the favorite, it would be the Dunhill Sentryman for the look, the MontBlanc Boheme for the writing.

 

Cheers,

Cedric

I had put this next one on sale but then I discovered Christof's re-blackening potion for hard rubber. Results in pictures below.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Black is mandatory in NYC , at least until something darker comes along. :D

Common pens...

My favourite is the Pelikan P470 (on the right).

Sry for the bad quality. If I got a few minutes next week, I will make a better one.

...currently this:

a recently restored Pelikan 100N from 1951-1953, last two years of production. The acrylic barrel is very well kept - like new. The nib is one of my favorites.
