This is a very interesting pen! I love your handwriting versatility. You move so effortlessly between different styles. And the ink, a gorgeous color, one I don't have, but I do have a similar one (see below )

 

 

That's unfortunate, and true. I hope your luck im

proves! Your pens and nibs are always a delight. I hope you don't give up on your search for vintage pens.

 

 

Today, just a wartime Sheaffer Sentinel Deluxe, with Diamine Steel Blue.

I love your pens, Akustyk, and I would love to be able to acquire even a single example like the one shown, but eBay is a bust for people like me with limitations on funds.

Your kind words are much appreciated. What you've seen above was my "daily script", pretty inconsistent even now, after 14 months of practice, but at least legible. Thanks for a timely reminder - I have to order the Steel Blue, it must be interesting to try it with a broad-tipped pen.

OK, FleaBay is a bust, and some sellers are really greedy - but I somewhow managed to get hold of my 9½ Sheaffers (one is a half-Ranga) and keep my kidneys (yes, both of them). Only once the price exceeded US$100. I love these pens, they are fun to look at and, especially, to write with. Of course, Sheaffer's factory stubs, italics and extra-broad nibs are scarce and command a premium price - but I still hope to try 'em.

If you're interested, I can PM you a couple of links - honest sellers, nice items and pretty good chance to win without blowing the bank. No affiliations - just a happy customer.

Today in rotation is one of my favourite pocket pen, Muji Compact which is inked withKWZI IG Gummiberry. Muji Compact is perfect example of minimalist design and is very few of the pens with metal grip section that I like. The pen is made of Aluminium.

So today’s thought is inspired by one of my professional life guru and ex Boss who is a Civil Engineer by profession and also a writer and a Professor.

I really like my Visconti. Today with Kobe #34 which I think could be my perfect green ink... I almost sure it is

And new one for me, but not that young, Montblanc 3-42G with OB nib. My first MB...

This arrived a few days ago. I had to wait for a new sac in the mail. Now fitted and working.

Thank you, I was referring to E_o_C's pen, though.

The Bexley is directly from Bexley via ebay. They're clearing out old stock.

Sure. I've read your note. His Lapis ringtop is an eyecandy, but your green Bexley is a beauty in its own right.

The news about Bexley clearance sale reached me too late - I checked their remaining stock and haven't found a "must have" pen. Lovely designs, anyway.

Used the Monteverde Prima earlier today. This evening using the Noodler's Ahab Lapis Medieval Flex Nib. Private Reserve Tanzanite. Preparing for a theological class tomorrow. Still trying to master the flex nib, and without a lot of success.

I had the same problems (or challenges?) with my Parker OB nib. Now it's one of my best writers. Hope you'll enjoy your vintage MB soon

A nice pair! Your picture makes me see a Demi in my future. With a GF cap.
