A Shaeffer Balance 4.75" that I picked up at a garage sale.  Re-sacked and a very fine point.  A bit small for my hands, but a very nice writer.  The only way I can use it is if it is posted, otherwise it falls through.

A juicy one 😃:

(Notice to whomever chooses to go down the same route: there's a tiny, sneaky, 'undocumented' rubber o-ring which sits between the nib housing and the bottom 'flange' of the section. It likes to pop and go hiding; don't lose it 🙂)

Today it's been the grey Pilot Decimo, F nib, still with the as yet to be ID'd Diamine teal blue/blue black ink; and the purple Pilot Falcon, SF nib, still with Sailor Souboku.

So far today just a Kaweco Perkeo All Black with a posting nib and Kaweco Caramel in my new experimental A6 bullet journalling effort.

 

It's working well, the little book goes everywhere with me. When out and about the pen changes to an grey Sport Skyline EF filled with Van Dieman's Cradle Mountain Grey - a cool grey - so I can see where entries were made. I don't know if that matters yet.

Will work for pens... :unsure:

Marlen Aderl, with Diamine Syrah.

 

The inscription "ORDO POPULUSQUE ATELLANUS" (government and people of Atella) refers to the southern Roman town of Atella, once independent enough to mint its own coins called aderls. Atella carried that independence too far when it sided with Carthage in the Second Punic War; when Rome took Atella back the leading citizens were executed and the remainder sent into exile or slavery.

 

Atella was the home of the popular "Atellan Farce". The clip is the profile of Maccus, a portly buffoon and the character featured most often.

 

Oh, by the way, this pen is a lovely writer.

Nice going 'J'. 😀👍

Which Long Knife did you put on the 9013?

Would love to see a sample of your Waterman ink mix.😀

Today, mostly my Montblanc Noblesse and the Forest Green Parker 45. Inked with Edelstein Sapphire and Levenger Forest Green. (Which was NOT planned)

Today’s pen was a Karas Kustoms fountain INK in green with 1.1mm stub nib filled with Pelikan Edelstein Jade ink. 
 

I’ve gotten this far in December alternating pens with green and red inks. The left side of my Leuchtturm A5 page a day is green ink, and the right side is red ink. I’ve managed to use a different pen per day. I’m wondering if I should reuse one, or try to find an appropriate pen to put red ink in. I don’t know if I can find 5 more pens I’d want to put red or green ink in. It has been kind of fun getting to this point with a different pen per day. It’s not something I’ve done before with inks limited to two colors in my page a day notebooks.
