Thanks DilettanteG, looks like what I am looking for indeed. And for sure the price is right. Mucho obligado.

@yubaprof  I’m happy my current maniac shopping spree could be be used for good. 😆

 

Another benefit of my fit of consumer frenzy is my new Pelikan M205 Moonstone. Currently infatuated with these featherweight little work horses:

Using my Parker IM and it started writing without any hesitation. 👍

Just one so far today, a Faber Castell School pen fitted with an Osmiroid Easy Change Extra Fine Italic nib. The ink is Sailor Blue which is a bit dry, but not scratchy or unpleasant at all and that's a new experience for me - I expect dry = unpleasant - not from this one. I'm looking forward to experimenting with inks.

I picked up 2 pens that were out of ink, so on my third try, I ended up with a Chinese stub filled with Private Reserve Pearlescent Blue-Silver. I really enjoy this ink. I only wrote in my journal and engagement calendar, so one paper is very thick and has a bit of texture, the other also thick, but smooth and shows off sheen and shimmer well.

Cross Solo EF with a 1:4 mix of Noodlers black and Noodlers Walnut.

Nice fine wet dark brown, water resistant and archival. Works well for cramming writing into my diary.

Platinum PK-1000, inked with Platinum Blue-Black. I checked to make sure there was an adequate supply of ink.

Today, so far, it's been a recent purchase: a blue Monteverde Strata with an Omniflex nib, currently inked up with Platinum Classic Sepia Black.  

Still trying to make up my mind about the nib, which isn't as flexy as I was expecting -- but I'm now happy that I didn't spring for a more expensive pen with one of those nibs.  

Also trying to make up my mind about the ink, which is, um, interesting.....  But not sure I like the color quite as well as I liked Platinum Classic Lavender Black and Forest Black.

Still working through my Pelikan M20X demo and Edelstein collection. Another custom ground Italic (Medium) from the talented Mr. Binder:
