One of my favorite

I can see why that's a favourite! :thumbup:

 

Today, I'm using a couple of black Sheaffer Imperials, and a TWSBI 580.

Noodler's Konrad (flex nib), with diluted Noodler's Kung Te Cheng (to try and finish up a fill -- now that pen is drying out after being flushed.

Pelikan M100, 1 mm nib, and Diamine Shimmertastic Blue Pearl (to finish up my journal entry when the Konrad -- and the ink in it -- started to seriously misbehave; I had to wipe a splotch of ink off the wall -- 4 feet away from where I was -- when I was trying to move the piston up... :blush:).

Noodler's Charlie (flex nib), with slightly diluted Noodler's Baystate Blue (to write some bills, and do stuff in my checkbook).

Pelikan M200 (M nib), with diluted Pelikan Turquoise (to do random note-taking, and to run out the fill so I can flush that pen out as well).

And that's just since I got up this morning.... B)

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

This Broad nib writes like a stub. Interesting...

You're right, I downloaded the wrong snap. Here is a snap of Alt Goldgrun taken this evening using the Delta Broad nib. Unfortunately, due to lighting, the color looks black. fpn_1474427348__deltaacidgreenaltgoldgru

I'm rotating through 5 at my desk, but I don't know what one of them is. I got it off ebay because I liked the look and wanted a fine point (though it seems to be a wetter writer).

 

Does anyone know what the bottom pen in the picture is?

It looks exactly like a Baoer 701.

I have one the same but with an open medium nib.

There is no reference to Baoer on my pen other than on the nib, and with yours being hooded you wouldn't see any maker.

Strong, bold and resolute ;)

Waiting for a bottle of Alt-Goldgruen, want to try it in my Pilot Parallel pen.

Today it is a Danitrio, a Takumi sized (about Montblanc 149 size) Megatame Raden fountain pen with a medium Dantitrio (Bock sourced) Fireball nib. It was created by a master Zhi Hao and was a prototype for the Formosa Series of pens.

I've got two Mont Blancs inked this week first is a Grey 342 from around 1950 with a nice smooth flexible steel OM nib. It's filled with Waterman Havana Brown (called Absolute Brown today ) :

The other one is a 256 from 1956 with a re-ground ( by John Motishaw) OB 14k nib. It's filled with Aurora Blue ink:
