M405 Stresemann, B nib, with KWZI Chicago Blue LE. Possibly an ink that's too dry for a Pelikan (I would have not thought that possible to say for any ink...). But it is a lovely blue.

I flushed the KWZ Maroon from the M405 and filled it with Take-sumi. The Maroon looked better. :(

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

I've enjoyed my "new" OM 400NN tortoise, so much, I've inked my OB 400 tortoise. I'm using Pelikan Smoky Quartz. it isn't as saturated as my usual inks, but I'm enjoying its antique look.

My One and only newcomer to my collection. Pelikan M200, Classic marble green pen with a Fine nib.

I have inked the pen since I started the pen with Pelikan Edelstein Smoky Quarts ink.

 

I have found another 22 pens inked with diamine/ Noodlers/ Waterman inks. Time to sort out pens and clean some up. :)

Today, I used my green stripe M600, with broad italic by Pendleton Brown, with Monteverdi Horizon Blue, my black, with gold furniture M800 with medium italic by Pendleton Brown, with Monteverdi Olivine, my 400NN tortoise, with OM, with Robert Oster Lake of Fire, and my 400 tortoise, with OB, with Pelikan Smoky Quartz. They are all superb writers, and very different. I love each writing sensation. I also have a maroon 140, with a semi flex fine, inked with Pelikan Aventurine.

My brand new 200 Brown Marbled,inked with L'Atison Brun Ours...a grayed brown sample that came with the pen, close to a R&K Sepia.

My 150 M has the old discontinued 4001 Brilliant Green.

 

Both my green marbled lacquer pens both regular flex F's, the a 381 has Amethyst ink cartridge and Celebry with Kaweco Caramel cartridge.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

EDC flock... dropped the black Pelikan 140 (M) in favor of a more broad nibbed pen (100N). I think these strike a great balance for everyday/common writing needs (no real room for BB/BBB nibs even though they are great fun).

Also, been loving the new ink mix I made out of Pelikan 4001 series inks which is:

- 2 parts Blue Black,

- 1 part Turquoise and

- 1 part of distilled water.

Pelikan 100N Green (B) inked with Pelikan 4001 BB/Turquoise/H2O mix,

Pelikan 100N Black (EEF) inked with the same and

Pelikan 400NN Schildpatt/Tortoise (OF) inked with MB BB/Caran d'Ache Hypnotic Turquoise/H2O mix.

Since I got my 400NN tortoise, with OM, at the Columbus Pen Show, I have used it more than any pen I have. My usual EDCs are still inked, and I use them nearly everyday. But, I use the 400NN, inked with Oster's Lake of Fire, an hour or more everyday. I like the ink, but it is the pen that keeps it in my hand. I love this pen. And, having my 400 tortoise inked beside it, only adds to the fun.

Besides the M405 Stresemann, B nibs (still with KWZI Chicago Blue LE), I've added the M400 Brown Tortoise, F nib (Visconti Brown [sepia?] and the green M100, 1 mm, with Diamine Shimmer Lilac Satin.

I have a dilemma. I want to try a different ink, I want to keep the Robert Oster in my tortoise 400NN, the 140 with Aventurine, the M605 with Asa Gao, the M600 with Monteverde Blue Horizon, and the M800 with MonteVerde Olivine. These have received several refills. My tortoise 400 with Sailor Rykua-cha is the problem. It's ok, but it doesn't show the potential of the pen's OM nib, which is exquisite. I have read where many love the ink. I must have a carefree existence if this is a problem worth writing about.
