A RED J? Sounds like a perfect "match" to me! (me being a green J with a Venus fine nib)

 

When greenie here arrived a few months ago he was sporting a 9550 EF posting nib. The nib and I didn't get along together very well.

 

I really like this nib though - especially with this ink. What is it you say? Diamine Steel Blue.

The paper is Red n Black (A5)

 

In fact I almost bought a SJ in red when I bought greenie here. The SJ would have been a bit short for me without posting it. I almost have to do that with a J.

 

Red is my favorite color too. I certainly could loan it out from time to time.

 

Thanks,

 

Brad aka Runnin' Ute

Would the Estie like to come to India? I promise I'll take good care of her, scout's honour.

 

 

I hope you can make out my scrawl (I was trying very hard, trust me)

 

cheers!

I see no reason why there can be a Loaner pen in India.

HI,

Why I would* want this Estie to be mine? There is little chance of it being available anywhere nearby for the near future.

Also, I don't have a red coloured pen or a lever filler in my collection and would like to have one.

As for the loaner programme, I think it's a neat idea. I bet people in my region would love to try this pen. It would be a great experience sending it out to them and hearing their comments afterwards.

So, I hope you consider me!

Cheers

MensRea.

Pen: Waterman Expert II, Medium Nib

Ink: Private Reserve, Daphne Blue.

The generosity of the FPN community restores faith in humanity for me time and time again!

[rtruslow]

Still not ready for prime time haiku:

 

Intoxicating

Dubonnet quenches lust that

Esterbrook inspired

 

Rich wine, some quinine

Taste it gently, just a drop

Ink flowing smoothly

 

Images unfurl

From cream white paper reflected

Transcendent beauty

For Estie,

Sweet little Estie

Sitiing Pretty in red,

Wanna be your bestie

Till I drop dead.

Sweet little Estie

Come, sail over the sea,

Spurn the rest thirsty

We both shall be.

Sweet little Estie

Come, India we'll see,

Through roads hot and dusty

friends there'll be.

Sweet little Estie

you of glittering crown,

Do come back hasty

for I'll be alone.

Sweet little Estie

So pretty in red,

Sweet little Estie

Thus, for you I pled.
