I used both the rose gold and ruthenium Montegrappa Cash Fortunas today. I cant tell if Im making $$ or losing it these days. Actually I can tell but Im in denial. Both are really fun pens though even if the nibs suck. Still need to work on these a little bit but theyre fun regardless. Im perpetually looking to add a Fortuna bang bang to my collection but they seem exceedingly rare for some reason.

Striated Blue M405, EF nib, with Edelstein Tanzanite, till it ran out of ink. Trying to decide whether to refill or flush.

Pink TWSBI 580-AL, B nib, with diluted Lamy Vibrant Pink.

 

Those are the ones so far, anyway....

My daughter just got back from a trip to Paris! Instead of a t-shirt she brought me a beautiful Waterman Perspective Blue Obsession! So it is inked up today and I am greatly enjoying it! Using the Waterman Blue cartridge that came with it.

Recently acquired a Lamy 2000 (F) and inked it with J. Herbin Perle Noir. Absolutely loving it so far, and cant wait to try other inks in it.

Also carrying a Pilot Metropolitan (M) with Noodlers Walnut.

Two new old pens showed starvation issues, so a sufficient disassembly, clean, and feed with new ink results in use today of a 1992 (parts may be older) MB 146 with GvFC Violet Blue, and a 1954 Pelikan 400 Schildplatt with GvFC Turquoise. The 146 in particular was setting down a pallid and fading line not at all like Violet Blue as I knew it. Now it is rich with colour from a wet nib.

:thumbup:

 

It is a lovely pen and color except for the steel nib.

 

Mine was the Azure with CT and F nib until I loaned it for an indefinite period.

 

Are you hoping to get the nib tweaked? My F was smooth but nothing special.
