Too bad my Naginata Concord nib writes at least as broad as a Sailor 14K gold Medium nib. :(

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Photos don’t do this pen justice. I got to see a friend’s in person back when pen club met in person. It’s gorgeous.

Nice.

It seems to be “big golden pen day” in those parts!

Agree. There are several stunning pens in the City Series. The Place de Le Concorde is one of the most beautiful, to my taste. Really nice.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

Oooh, the nib seems excellent for expressive writing. Very nice pen as well!

Thanks for this - did not know about the Secretary of De Flex. I need to do some searching to understand better when and how it was (is?) produced.

Beautiful. I do not (yet) own an Ebonite pen, but a few more pictures like this, and that might change…

All lovely pens, but that Duofold really catches my eye. Thanks for sharing these gorgeous pens.

Travelers brass /w 14k pilot nib, Pilot metal falcon /w gena salorino full spencerian grind, cross spire 18k (had to make a converter out of a cut off cartridge, shellac and a latex sac) Indigraph /w wet noodle waterman 52 nib, and a lamy 2k EF because I haven't gotten my BB re-ground into an italic yet.

In honor of the Cincinnati Bengals and their upcoming Super Bowl, this week I have been using my only orange pen, an FPR Darjeeling, orange with black trim, reminiscent of a Big Red. It is filled as an eyedropper with Pilot Black ink. It is a wonderful pen for less than $15.
