M200 Smokey Quartz - Robert Oster Silver Fire and Ice.

M205 Olivine - Robert Oster Peppermint Candy.

M205 Transparent - Diamine Blue Lightning.

M405 Stresemann - Diamine Moon Dust.

 

Realising that I have a sparkles addiction. Though the Stresemann only ever has Diamine Moon Dust in.

M815 Metal Stripes with fine nib, inked with Nick Stewart's Randall Blue Black.

 

Hard to imagine a more elegant combination of pen and ink, fit for any corporate, educational, or charitable Board of Directors meeting.

To my predictable regulars, I added my black M800, with Pendleton Brown B CI, filled with Diamine November Rain. Ordering this Germany exclusive was a challenge. Writing with it is not. The tiny necked 30 ml bottle is a challenge. Deciding to order a 90 ml bottle from Germany is not.

Courtesy of last night's Pelikan Hub Edelstein ink samples, Topaz in my blue M800 with IB nib, Sapphire in the M805 Ocean Swirl with B nib, and Amethyst in my red M800 with F nib. I was carrying my blue Watermans Edson with factory stub nib preloaded with the Aquamarine.

That's my daily user rotation sorted out for a month or three!

Oops, 5 months not 3; Topaz is about to run out in the last of the M800s I filled at the hub. Obviously I don't make enough excuses to write.

I'll have to start using my own ink again!!

Glenn.

[Kalessin]

Just a little ink replacement...

 

M620 Berlin now has a Broad nib (changed from OB) and Parker Penman Emerald in it, and it's a great match for the pen.

 

M400 Tortoise M now has Diamine Ancient Copper in it, and this is a lovely ink color for this pen.

[eerestis]

It seems that I have only Pelikans inked at the moment.

M600 (1.1 mm stub) - Pelikan Aquamarine

400NN (medium cursive italic) - Diamine Poppy Red

Could there be any problem with staining this pen with Ancient Copper? I just got a white tortoise M400 M and I’ve considered filling it with that same ink but’ve been skittish. I love the pen and the ink but afraid to combine them.

Mine is a "regular" brown tortoise, and so the only place that might stain is the inside of the barrel, and that is amber already. Ancient Copper is a red-brown like this pen's usual fill of Waterman Absolute Brown (aka Havana Brown), so it's not too much of a change.

My M605 has Sailor Souten, and I love it. However, as soon as my Diamine Skull and Roses arrives, the Souten will come out. I expect Skull and Roses to be as good as November Rain.

[prashant.tikekar]

My only bird M1000 black Fine is filled with Pilot Black ink.

[biancitwo]

I have bought numerous inks, but continue using many of the same ones. My M605, with Pendleton Brown M CI, is filled with Kon-Peki. My 100, with EF, still has Diamine Blood Orange. I love this ink, but so far, only in this pen. My 400NN, with KEF, is filled with Herbin Bleu des Profondeurs. My M800, with PB B CI, is filled with Diamine November Rain. I tried Diamine Skull and Roses, but the nib dried out nearly every time I paused writing.

[Intensity]

Flexy M101N red tortoise + Herbin Vert Empire. Decided I’m not crazy about that ink from this pen. Unsure what to fill with next—Lie de Thé, Vert de Gris, or Papier Plume Oyster Grey.

[Hans01]

My M600 (old style) is filled with blue Parker Quinck. My Pelikan 140 is filled with the same ink.

 

I've got two bottles of Edelstein ink (Saphire and Aquamarine) that I will try out once both pens are empty

[Kalessin]

M910 old style with a new all-rhodium-plated BB nib and vintage Sheaffer Peacock Blue ink. It's not too bad, but this nib might need some work done to get it the way I want it.

 

The tipping on this nib is a big ball (it almost should have been stamped KBB from the factory), which is great for the "push strokes" with my left-handed overwriting, but it has no variation between horizontal and vertical strokes whatsoever.

[DrCodfish]

"... which is great for the "push strokes" with my left handed overwriting, ..."

 

I can relate; finding that sweet spot for us lefty overwriters is always a challenge, .... and almost always, exasperating. AND a fantastic experience when the nib specialist hits the spot.

M215 w/ Noodler's Socrates

[gyasko]

I have a Deccan Advocate eyedropper threaded for M800 nib units with an old 14k B nib screwed in. This one has been inked for a while because it holds so much ink. I have it filled with the old iron gall MB schwartzblau.
