This is a fantastic pen. It looks like it belongs in the shirt pocket of Captain Nemo aboard the Nautilus. And fantastic handwriting, not to mention, a great ink pairing. I always look forward to your posts, they are well worth the wait!

Thank you! One shouldn't be a wizard to pair the Liliput with an ink - it loves greens, blues, and browns, any colour you like.

 

 

beautiful picture... love the patina on pen...

Thanks! I love it too - adds to the charm. And this little pen has a lot of charm, believe me.

 

How could I skip it? Awesome!

Sorry for not actively posting much atm. I'm on a commission and every free minute that can be gained means progressing .

I'll post the finished result when I'm done, but in the meantime I'm posting this Parker Arrow (TE) and it's history.

 

Initially, I was bidding on a Parker Classic in laque thuya finish on ebay, but didn't win.

The seller also had this Arrow and I thought, meh, just let me bid on this one. Not really very keen on the pen, I placed my bid - only one unit above the current bidder.

And I was stuck with the pen.

 

It arrived, I cleaned it, bent the arrow back in place, tuned the slightly misaligned nib and wrote a test sample.

 

It was like,yeah it writes, ok.

I put it back in it's box.

 

I didn't like the converter, it's used look, the finish, the ridiculous clip, actually I hated it. In reality I wasn't over with my loss of the classic, I really wanted it.

 

After that had cooled of a bit, I decided to use it within my current rotation. I realigned the tines a bit better, smoothed it and actually I loved it. I like the used look when the low hanging sun reflects in the gold coating, I even like the clip.

 

It writes really nicely now and I further smoothed the backside oft the nib for reverse writing, because for fine annotations the nib is too broad.

Wow! The custom stub really shows line variation very well. It adds a lot of character to your handwriting. I am also a huge fan of the Sailor ink.

 

Yesterday, I was writing with a wartime Sheaffer Valiant. The quote comes from Sheaffer's archives. Amazing that they had one-day service.

New diary for 2017! Going to try and combine my bullet journal with my conventional diary, so bought a HUGE diary. Paperblanks Ultra matched with Sheaffer Triumph, Diamine Asa Blue, and a large gin and tonic.

Gorgeous Eli

I'll need to get me some Royal blue.

I always thought that Royal blue would be a bit paler, but it's really "standout".

The Unica is gorgeous too.

I love Deltas.

Happy Birthday, Noihvo!

 

If anyone hasn't tried nibs from this supplier... well, I am a satisfied customer - although their fude nib wasn't quite what I expected, their italic exceeded expectations.
