now it's a pair of noodlers aerometric fill pens circa 2008-09?? one brown ebonite with noodlers tiananmen, the other green with noodlers navajo turquoise. no fancy inks here, just what i had on the shelf from several years ago. i didn't flush them out, just filled and they started right away. these are the only steel nibs i have. i seem to remember they were only offered in medium at the time but i could be wrong. they write more like a true european med fine...and very well, too. just wet enough.

I had pulled this pen out, a Keene Big Red copycat that I believe was made by Eclipse for the jeweler Keene in the 1920’s.....Had this one for years without it’s old broken Warranted 14K nib so I put a Waterman #5 that I had on it. It’s a bit long for the pen but it fits and writes great, so I’m pleased.'https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/uploads/imgs/fpn_1584671977__7d4986b2-74ff-4416-80e8-6a933b7919bc.jpeg'

The pen is 5.25 inches long, about the size of the true Parker Senior Big Red I also have. While I like the Eclipse, it may be offered for sale or trade to fund other pens shortly. PM me if it might interest you.

My new Konrad in Ivory Darkness with Diamine Salamander. Still tinkering with it though, hoping the heatsetting will stop it from actually dumping nearly all its ink on the page in one big blob.

 

And my new Ahab (my second) with Diamine Earl Grey - gee, the nib is super fine. It is actually something I quite enjoy: I have four pens with Noodler's flex nib, and they all write differently. And the ink is lovely.

Today it's been the M600 Violet and White, EF nib, with Edelstein Topaz; and Parker Vector Geometric, M nib, with Birmingham Pens Persian Copper.

Persian Copper is not quite what I was expecting (it goes down coppery red/brown but dries more of a medium brown where you don't really see any of the red). I have only started playing with it, so not sure yet what it looks like as far as comparisons. But I think I might need to get a full bottle of it.... (Sample was from someone giving stuff away at a pen club meeting a while back (or possibly last fall's Pelikan Hub; label says that it was made in Slovenia.)
