I got tired of writing in black, so as soon as these little sweeties arrived I thought I try one with my new 1.9mm LAMY nib.

 

 

 

 

I can see lots of amateurish errors so please be patient, I am practising.

@akustyk, The midori is fun. I purchased it because I wanted a leather piece that would match my pen roll and sleeve. And, I like the elastic band that wraps around - it's very Indiana Jones to me. And, as a child of the 80's, that is very important . i also have my banditapple planner stuffed in there. It looks kind of unkempt which I love.

 

I'm really surprised by the paper quality. I thought it would be wanting, but it's actually pretty good. It won't replace my Rhodia web notebook as my go to daily journal, but it will become my meeting and jotting notebook.

Hi, last entry here for a while as I'll be on a trip with the family.

 

I took this picture in the waning light of the first full day of Spring - I thought the PR Avacado ink matched well with the dark olive patina of the 100 year old Waterman 52, but really you can barely tell because the contrast is too great. Oh well, imagine with me, if you will.

 

Have a great week everyone!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And have a safe and pleasant trip.

Steve -

 

Is that a Sheaffer prelude? Someone gave me a pen just like that but have yet to use it.

All that beautiful penmanship in the thread and then I dump my recovering scribbles. It's legible, however, and that is more than I can say from six months ago when I bought the Lamy AL-Star. I apologize for the uneven white balance of the images, as I took them last night and the day has been too busy for more camera play.

p.s. - I don't think it's the famous Alex Toth's pen

 

p.p.s. - Noxington, don't worry about that white balance - you can see how silly my pics are Keep up the good work!

Beautiful handwriting, quinden. Really beautiful. Forgive the typed reply.

Thanks, JazzDoc, and no worries! If you're like me, you can't always set up to post written replies.

quinden- I think 'Alex Toth's' pen is a demi

 

Personalizations can be fun, I have an old Sheaffer that used to belong to 'Ann Miller', I somehow doubt it's the dancer, (it's a #33 student special!) but I like to fantasize a bit from time!

Speaking of "Alex Toth's" demi, does anyone remember the Seinfeld episode where George buys a Chrysler LeBaron all because he thinks it was previously owned by Jon Voight? And he finds a pencil in the glove box and wears it around on his ear? Couldn't help but think of Jon Voight's pencil.
