Today's pens are a Conway Stewart 100, Sailor 1911 Realo and a OMAS Milord.

 

The Sailor fitted with a hard fine nib is perfect for marking books made from poor quality paper. The OMAS is a guilty pleasure, which is a joy to use. However, the Conway Stewart 100 fitted with a Flag medium nib is a smile in a pen. It is smooth and never misses a beat. It is a Bespoke British Pens version of the Conway Stewart, which may ruffle some traditionalists, but quality is quality.

Indeed it is. :thumbup:

 

Which model Omas are you enjoying?

Today it was the Red Shadow Wave Vac. For being a lower tier model, without the better warranties of the Pearl models, it's an amazingly good pen. I don't know when it was repaired last, but I had it checked out the morning after I bought it (expecting to need to have the diaphragm replaced at the very least -- the pens in the auction were being sold "as is") and for the better part of 3 years I've just refilled it when it needs ink (Waterman Mysterious Blue -- if I need something more water resistant I just use a different pen... :P).

I suppose on its third anniversary of me owning it, I should maybe think about flushing it out.... :rolleyes:

Just in case you didn’t know, Waterman renamed their “South Sea Blue” ink a few years ago. It is now called “Inspired Blue”. Different name, same outstanding ink.

Kaigelu 316 pearl and black with a Bock 1.1 nib and housing. I sharpened the nib a touch for sharper line variation.

Add lightness and simplicate.

heh. I thought I was going nuts. Couldn't figure out why my preferred dealer didn't have it?!

After your explanation -- I see that everyone but me knew this! :headsmack:
