Three shades of red: Esterbrook J, "old" Burgundy Sheaffer Saratoga, and Burgundy Parker "51".

  
 Timeless perfection.

This is my little collection of (more or less) red pens:

1. Nakaya Dorsal Fin 2, Aka-Tamenuri

2. Pelikan M400, Red-Striped

3. Conway Stewart 60L, Red Herringbone

4. Eversharp Skyline Standard, Dubonnet Red (with matching pencil)

5. Eversharp Skyline Standard, Modern Stripe Red

6. Eversharp Skyline Demi, Modern Stripe Red

7. Edison Collier, Persimmon Swirl

8. Diplomat Aero, Orange (if you will accept that as counting in the red range)

9. Custom Made by Grahofer, I dubbed it "Explosion in Space" (if you will accept the orange hues as counting in the red range)

These are all truly amazing, just stunning- every single one.  The Grahofer caught my eye first (because it also has blues), but then the herringbone pattern of the CS did, the shine of the Nakaya urushi, the stately stripes of the dear Pelikan and the Eversharps. The swirls on the Edison reminds me of lava. The Aero has intrigued me since I first saw it, but I haven’t held one yet- are they comfortable?

I love the metallic, new sports car finish on these and the unique shape of the nib.

👍

Especially given that I have those pens (well, not sure which models the 2 burgundy Snorkels are; and would have to check my notes as to the nibs on the Esties) as well.

Thank you very much.

 

I like the Aero and to me it´s comfortable. Enough to have bought a second one, the Aero Factory, and in my opinion those are the most beautiful Aero pair to be had. My orange one has a gold nib and the Factory a steel nib, both B and both very nice to write with. The pens can technically be posted, but then they are backweighted A LOT. They are cartridge/converter pens and as far as I remember, they came complete with their own converters (international standard).

I’m putting the blue Aero on my list, and the Factory. Little zeppelins! 😄

Yes, exactly. That was the very first thought that hit me when I saw the picture of an Aero: Someone made a pen that looks like a zeppelin - I need one!

The ink is Waterman Serenity Blue.

    Reminds me of the pasta sauce I just had for dinner. What are you inking it with?

If you are looking for a pen like a Zeppelin, Aero made a very interesting  limited edition, the Aero Zepp.

At the moment, I have no red pens, but I plan to very shortly order the new TWSBI ECO-T Rosso. My birthday is coming up soon, and I have been waiting for a red ECO for years. Currently, my red ink pen is a clear ECO, so this will replace that, and the clear one will get black ink until I can get a Black ECO. Might order them both at the same time, for my birthday, both in F point. The clear one currently has an M nib, which I will swap to the Rosso. I want my red ink pen to be a little wider than the black ink pen. Then the clear with the F will become a backup/floater pen for seasonal ink colors.

 I hope your birthday and your birthday pen are amazing! I would love a picture of your ink filled red Eco when you get it.
