Red Pens! Post Your Favorite Pics Please!

[Bryant]

Id love to see everyones Red pens. Can you post your pictures please? And do you use Red ink with your red pens? Its really hard for me to use any other color besides red in a red pen.

Black ink would match a red pen.

In fact the 2nd from top is a red/black pen.

The pens on the top and bottom of this photo are mainly there to hold the red pens in the middle in position for this picture. They are also, however, my red ink pens, a Pilot Varsity refilled with Noodler's Fox and a Pilot G2 rollerball. I don't want to use red ink often enough to justify keeping it in a "good" pen, and matching the color of the pen with the color of the ink isn't something that I'd do. When I do want red to add emphasis somewhere, that Varsity is always ready. It will start right up after a month or two of inaction. And if it did fail, the rollerball is right there.

 

But about the red colored fountain pens in the middle, both were inexpensive bargains. The 1990s Sheaffer School pen even came NOS in the original blister pack. I did pay extra for a converter, but it's a very smooth writer, quite amazingly so. The red Esterbrook SJ came in a lot of vintage pens for not very much. It just needed a new sac.

 

When these pens take their turn in my pocket, they would probably get a blue or black ink, maybe a purple.

This review by dandelion always makes me want to pull way too much money out of the old savings account in search of the fire engine red beauty...

I have a red Parker Duofold Centennial in Jasper red, which I think is a lovely looking pen. The photo is not actually my pen - I took the easy way out and nicked a photo of the same model from the web!

 

I use black ink in it, but I agree with a number of posters on the forum who speak of their "almost OCD" habit of only using ink that matches the colour of the pen. I used to do that, but I have finally managed to wean myself of the habit (although my Conway Stewart WInston in Classic Claret does still contain claret ink).

Okay, here is one of mine. MB 25 push knob filler in coral red.

I knew those miscreant Orange pens would try and elbow their way in here.

Far left is an Omas Goya, which is a dark red in which I use Diamine Deep Dark Red. Third from left is an Omas Ferrari which was inked with Akkerman Rood Haags Pluche.

Far left is Omas Vespucci, a wood pen in a nice reddish finish. Third from left is a metal body Omas with a red marbleized finish which writes just beautifully, as does its blue brother next to it.

I have used primarily HOD black in my red pens, but also Nikita and Fox Red. However, I have used other inks on occasion.
