What Pen Did You Get Today?

[adamselene]

A silver Waterford Liesel M that turned out to be my smoothest writing pen, after a good cleaning,

 

Rotring Lava 600 M with knurls. great!

 

Parker 100 Diamond Blue xf, a bit too toothy

 

I had one slip from the post office, but got three packages!

An Aurora Talentum in black with chrome trim. My first Italian pen and it is absolutely beautiful. It writes nicely too

[ralphawilson]

A beautiful 1920s or 30s flat-top Sheaffer Lifetime in green with an enormous, numbered nib! Needs sac & cleaning, but I think it was a real steal for $37.00 (plus shipping) on the 'Bay.

A Black 1950 Duofold, writes like it has honey for ink

 

You mean to say it sticks to the page and attracts ants?

[Strang]

I got a Pelikan Souveran M450 Tortoise and Vermeil - and, man, is it beautiful!!!

[shahrincamille]

An orange Visconti Millennium Arc - mint with a nice OM nib. Bought it from the "Stipula cheerleader", Deirdre :clap1:

NOS Pelikan M100 in white & black, with an EF nib.

Ahh, I've been waiting for this day. My first reply here in this post at all (I think).

Today it was a Pelikan Sahara. Love the weight and balance. Even more than those of my my M800. Th M800 is about the same size but a tad too thin and too light.

Today I got my first Montblanc LE, a Charles Dickens, from Bryant....mainly bought it because CD and I share a birthday (not the same year!!). (Possibly not the best of reasons!)

 

It writes very nicely with Diamine Woodland Green, about the same colour as the barrel.

A Parker 45 flighter. The section's soaking at the moment to get the ink out of it (it arrived with a blue short international cartridge jammed up its backside), but it seems in good nick. Sixties model, apparently: certainly it's not one of the current ones with a gold jewel in the cap. It's a nice looking pen, and I'm sure it'll be great once I've christened it.

Today was a great day : I fitted my Pelikan M215 with my new Binderized fine nib, I fall in love with a M205 Demonstrator, and the postman gave me an awaited parcel : a Waterman Perspective (light blue) with a medium nib.

I will try to do a review of the Waterman next weekend, but I already can say that it is a very good pen.

 

In order to wait, a small capture :

A gold carved Jinhao with a broad nib, and, rather more excitingly, my VP Raden.

I didnt get a new pen today but i got back a bexley posiedon that was damaged 2 months ago with a med nib instead of fine and I love it

I found a vintage German Faber Castell Osmia 883 in my mail box this morning.

Took it with me to the office and tried to flush it but there are still tons of ink in the pen and I have to take care of it at the weekend. For the time being the pen writes nicely with the diluted ink and has a wonderful, smooth OBB nib

[Rasendyll]

Mine has an OM nib too- Aurora Optima in Green Auriolide with 14k OM nib. A dream writer with pleasant tooth in true Aurora style -only went in to the shop for ink and a nib exchange for an old Parker 45 (wonderful shop TJ Sharp and Co of Perth-they do these on the spot) but the nib was so lovely that I just had to! :embarrassed_smile:

A pair of Pilot 77's, one for me and another for a friend. I also finally had my 45 nib replaced.

[edbollix]

A friend purchased me a Lamy Vista transparent demonstrator on a lark! She wanted to buy me a shirt... HA!

[DeaconKC]

Woohoo! My Pelikan 400 finally arrived. Inked it up with PR American Blue and it is sweet. Pics later!

[DeaconKC]

Today an Estie J in Dubonnet Red, the sac is even still good!

[blindpilot]

Acme Blueprint. Seems like a good everyday pen that I will not cry over if It walks away.
