I've got more pictures but the site doesn't allow me to upload more.  As soon as I can upload  that pictures they will be uploaded.

  Ooh, a Valor- I love inlaid nibs!  Looking forward to more pictures when you get it sorted. How are you adding them? I started making galleries and adding pictures to those, then adding them to my posts.

I could  upload this way, one at a time.  But now it refuses to do it.  Something is wrong here as a return message says that only 169K is accepted.

   How do you feel about the Dialog CC?  The rest also sound lovely, please share a picture if you have any.

I will message you in a bit about pictures- it’s almost dinner time here but I have a solution that takes some explaining.

Following the excellent procedure to add pictures to the posts, kindly provided by Penguincollector, I finally could upload the remaining two pictures of the Valor cap band.

My newest blue pen is a TWSBI Eco in Indigo with Bronze trim. It’s filled with a new ink Colorverse Show-Me Missouri.

I guess I forgot to post the photo of the blue Pilot Prera Iro-Ai I received in August. Both these new pens need to be in the Demonstrator  Pen Club.

I love both your new pens, @Misfit!

The Dialog CC is an elegant, stylish pen in appearance--I particularly like the dark blue color. I am a left-handed underwriter, so it's nice not to have a clip in the way. The pen has a large diameter, but this doesn't bother me, since I have large hands. The gold EF nib is excellent, as are all the other gold Lamy nibs in my collection. If the pen goes unused for more than a day, I get dry-out in spite of the closure mechanism, but no worse than with other pens. Will try to get a photo for you.

  Thank you, your response answered so many questions. I have an odd grip and wondered about the clip. The Lamy gold nibs are so nice, I  have a couple and really enjoy them. I was thinking of getting the nib on the Dialog CC for another Lamy, but when I saw the pen, I was intrigued. Blue and rose gold is such a beautiful combination. I look forward to pictures.

That’s a beautiful selection of blue pens, @jmccarty3! The Lamy Dialog CC is a delightful lil’ chonker!  The Sailor next to it and the Aurora are lovely, as is the Line D. The other Sailor and the TWSBI are super cute.
