@Baka1969 I have two of your burgundy pens. The Pilot Elite, and a Parker. Mine is the 51 Demi.  

 

Excellent!

Beautiful Visconti, @ZeroDukE! The nib is especially eye catching.

  I rarely like wooden pens, but these are super! The grain is so nice and I bet they feel good in hand.

wood.........................................'finally, and or just fine'...........

Diplomat burl, made in Japan in the late '80's. The top pen on the picture. A very nice regular flex 18k nib. All are 18K.

 

I must say I was so new to wooden pens, which i had only seen with cheap guts,:( at town markets and fairs. Many of pretty woods....but what is that to a nib with a bit of life to it.

I thought it a pretty  nice feeling plastic, until made wise by folks on the com.:headsmack: The top pen in the picture. DaYPoQV.jpg

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Ransom Bucket cost me many of my pictures taken by a poor camera that was finally tossed. Luckily, the Chicken Scratch pictures also vanished.

Oh, that’s gorgeous @Bo Bo Olson! I think the wood pieces are great, but like you I had only seen kit pens and some pearwood pieces.
