To the best of my knowledge they only came in a medium as standard.  Birmingham INK co.Root Cellar. 

I have a Ranga that is very close to the Oldwin in size and shape but ebonite.

After six months of not having written a single letter with a fountain pen (or journal entry), I inked up three (nothing special) today:

 

--Jinhao 92

-- Pilot Prera

-- Pilot Kakuno

 

My handwriting skilz have lapsed a bit, but it was nice to see some color back on the page.

Pilot Custom 743 WA. For someone like me that uses their pens to take notes, write instructions, etc. it’s a tremendous pen. The WA nib writes well on just about anything, good paper, cheap paper, doesn’t care.

It’s National Space Day, so I’ll be using a space themed or named pen. Right now I’m thinking it will be the Sailor Pro Gear Slim Red Supernova. Turns out the pen needed ink, so I put Levenger Fireball (a discontinued ink) in it. Seemed fitting. 
 

@TSherbs In my opinion, Pilot Preras are kind of special. I hope you had good writing times today.

Jinhao 9019 (M) w/ Iroshizuku Shin-Ryoku (green) ink.

Just got it yesterday and I am very impressed with the smooth writing nib.

Muji aluminum F with Diamine Black Ivy.  I love that this is a Fine nib that writes really wet.  Black Ivy looks almost reddish on some papers, which I'd never noticed before.  I'd only noticed the green.
