Don't Just Tell Us About The Pen You're Using, *show* Us!

[Prvt. Toter]

Nice, I tried the Knox 1.1 on a chinese pen and could not get it to flow, replaced with a Nemosine 0.8 stub and it works wonderfully... but lookng at this... I am going to have to dig that out agan.... Nice red ink..

I got my repaired and re-nibbed Omas Ogiva back on Saturday. Here it is but not a good pic - I don't 'do' macro!

http://i.imgur.com/ueBraIh.jpgHad to get "creative" to open this baby up. i used the cap of a pilot parallel as a punching block with a piece of foam inside to avoid damage and used plumbing tape around the grip section of the Falcon to it wouldn't fall into the cap
It writes with flex with speed now, no problems with skipping. Ink is Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-Yo. Huray!
Ordered Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy by Eleanor Winters for a starter [:

This is for Uncle Red!

 

 

 

 

But the photos don't quite show the difference. I think Visconti Bordeaux has more brown and Maroon is more pink than Ruby. Ruby just GLOWS from within. It's really jewel like.

 

And a new arrival this morning. The filling system is working on this one. irrigger: my striped Duofolds both use the speedline filling mechanism. Uncle Red: don't think I have the tools to fix up my blue Duovac--I'll patiently wait for the Philly pen show to come around and make a mad dash to Ron Z's table

Aye, the clip did indeed break off, Uncle red. The two holes for the original rivets remain.

Playing around with my "new" macro lens... ("new" as in... never used before... I bought it on a package deal with my telephoto lens)..

 

 

You can easily see the gold plating loss... ...

TWSBI 580 and Rotring Initial, both F nibs. The TWSBI is inked with OS Join or Die; the Rotring with Sheaffer Skrip purple

 

[zoniguana]

Add in the Sheaffer white dot, lifetime nib. Amazes me just how *thick* that nib is... It's next to the TWSBI for comparison purposes. Not talking about length/breadth/etc. It's just a thick slab o' metal for a nib!

A good pen this...

Last night I inked up a great writing and often overlooked pen - the Pelikan M20 Silvexa. I've had a couple of these and settled on one with a BB nib that has a little flex and is fantastically smooth. Here's what it looks like, inked with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Brown ink:
