The ink is an unknown short international cartridge with no markings that came with the pen (which is used, so they may very well be cheap ol' throwaways).

Here is what I was using today...I hope my writing is legible! (note the exclamation marks of glee;

I usually don't use one per sentence )

Today's pen is a U.S. made Parker 45 that I just received. Fourteen karat gold medium nib; original-style converter; Noodler's North African Violet on a Brazilian composition book.

 

No feathering, good ink flow, decent lines but minimal shading. All-in-all I'm quite pleased with it, you'll see in the photos below that it's marked "Janesville Lions Club" -- the place where Parkers were made for years. The extra pen in the last photo used as a prop is an Esterbrook transitional.

The MB followed me home from the DC supershow. It is such a sweet, wet writer. The nib is an oblique medium (there is a noticeable angle when looking at it straight on, like this / just not so steep, but it doesn't look very flat like an italic) but it doesn't show line variation when I write with it. The nib is very soft/springy. It is very comfortable to use as I have a habit of rotating my pen to the left. It has a definite sweet spot. The Delta spent time with a nibmeister and is finally a pleasure to use!

It's a retracting nib safety and a piston filler?! Now that's a pen. Quite a bit of work in that design and I'm not sure there's a point but I'm impressed.
