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

 

Ummm... nope. I like the more sober Factory a lot better.

  It’s an interesting design, I don’t know how I feel about it. It’s very architectural, the filigree reminds me of girders.

Gorgeous burgundy trio, @ZeroDukE, and the Big Red😍! I love those slim ‘80s pens so much.

Yes, burgundy is a very nice colour for pens.

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).

What’s the difference between the Aero and the Aero Factory?  🤷‍♂️

The finish. The Factory lacks the coloured coating, the surface is polished aluminium.

OIC, thanks...  is the Factory steel or aluminum?

They are all made from aluminium.

Surprisingly this material is described as RED but really if it is red (and not pink), then it is Neon Red.

 

 

Here it is in regular light.

  I find that red is a difficult color for people to agree on in terms of where pink ends and where brown starts. I like your pen, it can hang out here and if we ever start a pink pen club, it can go there too!

I agree. I put the True Writer Pinkly in my red pens photo. It will likely be in a Pink Pen Club whenever that happens. Some pens are at the edge of two or more colors. We have to let them join.

 

Oh, I need to photograph and include my recently acquired burgundy pens.

yes, I would like to see your 51.

[Misfit]

Here are three deep red, burgundy, Bordeaux colored pens. They are a Parker 51 Demi in maroon, a Pilot Elite in deep red, and a Kaweco Sport in Bordeaux. The 51 has an F nib.  The Elite has a M nib, and the Kaweco has a M nib.

 

Hmm, I’m not sure, maybe the photos are not as representative as they should be.

I’ve had this pen awhile, and finally put ink in it today. It’s a Lamy Safari Strawberry pen with 1.1mm italic nib. The ink is a first time use as well, Colorverse Eyes on the Universe Hubble.  It’s the big bottle in the set. The little bottle is HST (Hubble Space Telescope), and is a dark green.

I was just noticing how pretty your lowercase “r” is, @Misfit  That red ink is also pretty.
