What pen(s) are you using today?

[Misfit]

@AmandaW that’s another pen that gets the stormtrooper nickname like my white with black trim Pilot Explorer. 😁

Hmmm... so I don't require the Pilot Explorer after all? What about the Pilot Capless in the same colours... (thankfully my Matte Black Capless dries out pretty quick here. That's how I talk myself out of that Stormtrooper each time I get tempted. So far it's worked).

@AmandaW oh no, you still need a Pilot Explorer to be the lead pen in an expedition of fountain pens.

Today I'm using my favourite wooden fountain pen, the Omas Cristoforo Colombo II, a Paragon-sized Omas in briar wood.

Montblanc 149 w/ blue (unknown brand) ink. The nib is a somewhat stubbish fine.

Also, yesterday, I used a LAMY Safari, metallic turquoise, with Diamine green mist ink.

I continue to enjoy the circa '49 Esterbrook Deluxe coupled with a 9668 nib.  The photo is for reference and is another Deluxe from my collection.

  I’m using my father’s grey GT Parker 45 F Octanium today, inked with Pelikan Blue-Black. It’s the first pen he bought when he was exiled to the US in ‘63, and that he gifted me when I was allowed to use a pen in school. He had stopped using fountain pens daily by then, preferring Jotters or Cross gold filled ballpoints. When he gave it to me in the ‘80s, he still had an unopened pack of Parker/Eversharp cartridges and a bottle of Quink BB. He passed away yesterday at 91.  He nurtured my love of pens and paper and birds. May he rest in peace.

Now I've got the Indiana Jones theme stuck in my head.
