Hey, Tas, that Namiki looks like it was rode hard and put away wet.

 

Here's my latest pen. I haven't purchased very many fountain pens in the last year, but the two I have are new retro-looking pens, and this is the latest. I just couldn't resist. I know it's not the most popular style of Pelikan, but I was able to get it for significantly less than the rather outrageous MSRP, and I'm loving it.

Very nice Tas

[parkerwasmyfirstlove]

Currently it seems, I'm using my Kawecos and AL-Stars a bit more

Thank you.

Praise indeed.

 

I love your first shot. So much pleasure strewn around

[parkerwasmyfirstlove]

^^^^Thank you, that was at a friend's house where I could really spread out. Also he had this funky china.

That's a neat looking Parker 25. They look quite rare now. Love your use of the MB Permanent Blue ink. It's still my favourite, used a lot with my Pilot 912 FA.

 

 

Thanks! Sometimes its as if i do not have several bottles of other blue/blue-black inks available for use

Can I have some information about that pen wrap in the firs picture?

[Jed]

This is my fountain pen, can you help me identify the brand name? I can't search it to google.

Added another pen to my rotation today...

These are nice, dependable pens with a classical look

Currently I‘m still stuck with my Duofold Centennial,

BUT I‘m also using a Sonnet Flighter GT with a 18K broad nib from an older modell.

 

Also a bit of letterart and scrap recycling.

It‘s a Manhattan Portage. It serves me quite well, I don‘t use it on expensive pens though.

I got it via Massdrop and after getting used to it a bit, I like it quite a lot.

I also wanted to get the clamshell version, but I was too late for that. But there is always a next time on Massdrop.
