What pen(s) are you using today?

Today's journal pen is, again, my Pilot Prera Slate Grey with a fine italic nib (from a Plumix), but the ink is now Diamine Prussian Blue. To my eye, and as you might be able to see on the page it is sitting on - it's a gorgeous colour for the pen. Thankfully not the colour they show on the label! With perfect flow too which is a relief after the rather dry very unpleasant J Herbin Vert de Gris - I liked the colour of that too, but the feel on the paper was eeek! from this pen. (The notebook is a Clairefontaine clothbound 90gsm.) The Prussian Blue is a keeper for me. Wishing I'd ordered the big bottle.

Pretty.  I am falling in love with pocket pens with this look.

My new Pilot Custom 74 with a soft medium nib! It just got here today, it's my first gold nib pen.

@MayoCongratulations!  I did a lot of research before buying my first gold-nib pen and was happy with my decision.  I hope you are as well!  Looks like you chose wisely.

Recently acquired this beautiful pairing of a Pelikan M200 with a matching ballpoint pen with box and papers! I got it for a ridiculously good price.
It is from West Germany and was made during the 1960's and has a glorious Factory OBB Nib. It is surprisingly soft and flexible for a SS nib!

I love how the box even says West Germany!

We had a cello at one point that said "Made in West Germany" if you peered through the F-holes.  I thought it was pretty neat, too!

Today's journal pen was a Pilot MR with a CM nib. The ink is Van Dieman's Eggplant.

Lovely pen, @Tashi_Tsering! Looks to be in excellent condition, too. Thanks for sharing.

 

Would you mind sharing some writing and general line samples?

Thanks! Yes, pen is in good condition.
 

Nib, I think, have fine/medium line with good amount of flex. Here is sample. I am sorry, my handwriting is horrible.

Don't worry about it, it's in the eye of the beholder: I can read it perfectly.

 

I like the line variation on the nib. Great to see. 

 

Until now, I've never seen a Conklin coin-filler in real life, only in books. So many thanks, @Tashi_Tsering!
