Thank you!

I have a Guilloche (sans clip, plus one nib/section unit), and it's a great little pen.

Psst, Noihvo: It's "To boldly go where no MAN has gone before," for Classic Trek, and "where no ONE has gone before" for Next Generation. Since you started out with "five year mission" I assume you want the Classic Trek prologue, as Next Gen is on a "continuing mission".

Wow! That is a gorgeous pen, and it writes so well. I look forward to seeing more of it.

 

Today, i have just a Snorkel Crest. Sheaffer used the White Dot in their advertising throughout the Snorkel era, and that's where the phrase comes from.

Noihvo, I respect and agree with your views respecting gender equality. I disagree (respectfully) about your decision to "update" the quote. Leaving aside that it introduces an apparent clash between Classic and Next Gen Trek, I think we run the risk of doing an injustice to original works by trying to fit them into modern day views. Let us celebrate what Classic Trek got right, without trying to pretend it never got anything wrong. And your pen and ink are a lovely way to celebrate the genius of Classic trek, with or without its warts.

It's evening here, but your picture is still cheerful even in the dark hours. Happy writing!

I agree regarding eliweisz's handwriting! He's so versatile. And his pens are awesome, too.

Helen, You have a knack for matching pens and inks. This looks fantastic!

This is fantastic writing! Most people have the fine or extra-fine nib but the broader nib looks amazing. You've got that wet, shaded line going. I love it.

 

 

Today, I have an interesting pen (to me, anyway ), a Sheaffer Valiant with a military clip, with nice barrel transparency and a glorious needlepoint nib.

Sitting in a local coffee shop this AM writing down some notes on the film I'm shooting before I lose track.

First time using Apache Sunset - but boy do I love it. One of my new favorites. Using my father's old Parker Parker Duofold, M nib.

I love seeing your film notes! I also do analog photography, only using a digital camera for my pens.

Lovely pen Akustyk, I really like Sheaffers from this period.

 

I am going to fly to London for the pen show in October, I hope that I will be able to buy a Sheaffer Vac Fill of this quality at the show
