I have to say that I admire all of your choices of pens and inks...and your handwriting!

Hi Amber - sorry no time to handwrite and photo today, but you're right to not believe the top page is Tsuki-yo, because it isn't! The top page is Kon-Peki with my bamboo flex and fine point Lamy 2K, and the bottom page is Tsuki-yo with a Pendleton stubbed L2K. The person who asked about it only quoted the bottom page.

Akkerman #28 in Waterman Faucette, Iroshima Yu-yake in Waterman 312, Montblanc Leonardo di Vinci in Waterman 56.

 

Edited to add: Pen wielder currently at large, believed to be inked up and dangerous, with serious dilousians of grandier and wanted on numerous charges of bad grammer and horrendous spelling.

About a week into this. I guess I'm about half way done, and plan to add some sort of giant text swooshing in the background. Check out the FP closely. I tried to draw it with urushi style - blues creep outs under the black.

Extremely nice italic. Very well balanced and with great flair. And love that Leonardo's Chalk! I've been looking at darker reds ever since Gaslight showed us the Sailor Jentle Grenade. Oh, man. I'm beginning to think this thread is dangerous.

Very nice desk pen. I Ike the clear taper.

attika89, The Bronze is factory, The Steel I had to grind a bit as it was rather blobby from the factory with little line variation. I also made them both a bit wetter.

Attika, could I ask what paper you are using please?

I love when 00Photo gets busy and then displays here! Wow!!!

 

I've been using a bevy of safety pens the past couple of weeks. They are a bit of a pain and an embarrassing lesson (re)learned now has me holding the barrels straight up when I unscrew the cap and extend the nib. Still, they are delightfully anachronistic and lovely writers, and I quite like using pens that are a bit out of the ordinary.

 

This one I showed earlier and it has such an awesome nib that I've been refilling it now for nearly a month:

 

Next is the smallest of all my safety pens, an ancient Bayard (94mm capped). The red woodgrain hard rubber has subtle line chasing on both cap and barrel and the nib is capable of hairlines and some nice flex (if only I were adept at making use of the pen's capabilities! 00Photo, do you do lessons?). The PF on the nib stands for Panici Frères, representing Société Panic Frères, which grew out of a Parisian bookseller Panic Frères & Co., begun in the late 1800s by Etienne Forbin. The Bayard name and mark were registered by Forbin in 1912 and the firm officially changed its name to Stylo Bayard in the 1930s. This pen - Model 100 - dates to the early 1920s and was recently restored for me.

 

 

Next is a pen about which I have almost no information, and yet it is one of my favorite pens. The barrel is imprinted with a rising sun over the name "Kynosura", with a "- 1 -" below that. The top of the cap has the most interesting design I've ever seen on a hard rubber pen, and the nib is a fabulous Aikin Lambert stub with flex. Pretty cool stuff if you're a pen nerd!

 

 

Last this week is a pen that has stumped me and a few other experts, and I'm hoping someone around here may know more about it. It is marked Aeterna on the barrel and has an odd conical nib that is made of some yellow metal. The safety mechanism was repaired for me and the pen writes fine, but I am mystified as to its origin. Help!
