What a very pleasing design. I'd be very tempted by this if it were more easily available.

Pretty sure the only place it is available is at the Triosmore site (linked to from the kickstarted page).

I've been using a couple of quite similar pens from about the same era. The first is a Parker 51 aerometric in dark blue with a gold cap, medium nib. The second is a Sheaffer PFM V, also in dark blue (and of course a gold cap) with a medium nib. These are pens that made a strong impression on me when I was a child, especially the Sheaffer, and I love the blue and gold color combination, as these were the colors of both my elementary and high schools. I have been careful to fill them only with Waterman inks, and they write marvelously.

Last night was my burgundy Optima Mini with L'amant, along with my blue M405 with Kana-cho.

That's such an interesting pen.  What color do you have,  What nib and how does the surface feel when you write with it?

Great Colors !

A Parker 51 with a medium nib.  I have 3 unrestored 51s, two have fine nibs and one seems to be an extra fine.  I'm sure there must be many mediums around... I just haven't seen them....🙂

 

And a Sheaffer PFM, something that's been on my list for ages but I've never actually held one or wrote with it. 🙂

I’ve been curious about L’amant ink. What are your impressions of it?

It is blue in what is called a shark skin finish with a hand tooled sterling silver cap and a stub nib done by Danny Fudge. It is a wonderful writer!

I can't compete with you guys, all I was writing with was an Omas Ogiva that I just cleaned.
