Max Dog,

 

What a beautiful photo. Thank you for sharing it

 

Praxim,

 

I like those pens!

 

The pen I'm using this afternoon:

 

‘Translation’, probably most needed:

 

Today I am using this pen, about which I know nothing at all!

 

Not its brand, model name, age or where it’s from.

 

As you would expect; it has a rather fine nib, and no flex at all.

 

Inked with Diamine Grape

 

 

Lovely pen! I'd love to know more about it!

Chinese Cloisonné, possibly a Hero, Duke or Wing Sung. Here's some examples:

Hmm, the nibs are all wrong though. I love the stealth hooded nib on the above shown pen.

 

There's got to be some identifying branding on the pen though, on the ends, or on the converter maybe.

Well thanks a lot Intensity for asking and Chromantic for answering.

 

There is only one mark on the whole pen; on the converter:

 

To be read as 金星; Gold(en) Star.

 

The logo matches the one of the 3rd link given by Chromantic

Aren't Fridays fun.

 

 

I drew the wee dragon with the Inca Sol, then went over it with the Baystate Blue...It didnae work.

Beautiful! And you even got Baystate Blue to shade!

Hello. Not nice looking pens but writes well.

*Copied from my introduction post

 

I got to use my Noodlers Ahab flex nib yesterday. I bought the Ahab because I thought the flex nib would be fun to use, but in reality, I don't use it very much as I mostly just journal and am not very creative. We're inviting some friends over to celebrate my daughter's first birthday next month and I jumped at the chance to address the invitation envelopes. I used an ink sample of J. Herbin Rouge Hematite 1670 that I had which seemed to best fit the occasion. I wasn't thrilled with the quality of the envelope paper, but I had fun doing it. That's what matters right? The final product came out acceptable. My words slanted downward slightly. I tried to show one of the better words, while getting a close up on the ink. Anyway, happy writing!

I've got more than ten (!) pens in the my rotation right now, but I've been using these that I received from Fountain Pen Revolution the other day: a Muft and an Airmail 69T. I've been pleasantly surprised at how well the flex nib on the Airmail pen has been working thus far.

i picked up this Menlo from the Edison Pen co. at the Michigan pen show. It was my first pen show and i had a great time look forward to many more.

Yesterday was "pen flush" day. As soon as the restroom became free, though, I used our old bulb syringe to rinse out the rest.

 

Pictured is a Pilot Kakuno demonstrator with a Fine nib and a residue of Pelikan 4001 Brillant-Braun. Ready for a good bath and a refill of ink.

Pilot Vanishing Point with Private Reserve American Blue!!!

 

I have a couple of these pens (a new blue carbonesque and a mustard from 2010) and I like every thing about them.
