Here are 3 photos featuring my Caran d'Ache Léman.

 

Hey Speculator, do you still have that that donut?

I got a Kaweco in the mail today, and added what I suspect is its inspiration in the photo. This fox visited my yard several years ago.

This is a custom pen made by the FOSFOR PENS

Its a piston filler and made from the rods bought from Turner's workshop

This is Wality 71 JT and not 69A as handwritten in Pic...

The nib is by Syahi and it is a threaded nib instead of previous generation friction fit nibs

Yesterday, my friend showed me 2 new vintage pens. I asked him last week that I want to find a vintage Pilot Elite pen, then he showed up yesterday with one Elite and one Platinum pen which we are not sure what model it is.

Pilot Elite turns out to be a defect nib pen which has 1 tine longer than the other. We sent it to a store to get repair. And Platinum one turns out to be a very good pen.

The nib is very smooth and gives a good feedback.

I posted this in another thread but of limited viewing, so I'll share it here. This big Bexley Prometheus had a perfectly nice nib but it was just crying out for something more. A while back I found a really trashed Sheaffer 8C from the 1920s and salvaged the nib, so it now has a new home. With this smooth nail and fat 12mm section, you can write for days in comfort. The quality of the materials and execution on the pen are second to none and the pen has been my most delightful surprise of the last year.

Cool pen @JonSzanto, and as always I like the background image as well. It is nice you found a nib that added that extra something to make your pen so delightful.

Thank you, very kind of you to say so. It is certainly one of those serendipitous events - a pen that had never been on my radar, a nib looking for a modern home... all came together.

Finally got the Esterbrook 2442 nib that I had been wanting. I put it on a gray J Transitional, the last transition before the J with two jewels.

I still want an Esterbrook nib that shows off the thick and thin lines. I do not think the 2442 is quite that nib.

I agree - that's a very handsome composition, in form and color. On another forum there was a theme of posting some of your favorite writers, trying to narrow it down. I took these two shots of the current most-used pens, truly pens I'll never be able to part with.

 

L - R: Bexley Prometheus with a Sheaffer 8C nib (as seen a few posts back in this thread); Platinum 3776 in tortoise-shell celluloid with a Nakaya italic by Mottishaw; Moore "Frankenpen" with a B-15 eyedropper barrel, cap from a Monarch and a Sheaffer 1920s-era nib.
