I’m not at all sorry you found more, @Tashi_Tsering, keep it coming! The Murex 😍

 @JWG J that is a lovely collection of metal pens, so many favorites! I’m a huge fan of the big 3 original US makers.

Aurora Marco Polo in sterling silver. 
 

Again a bad photo: the rings on the cap are dark blue, not black

I hope I will too. This will be my first Swiss pen. Plus I'm picking this up as a more cost effective alternative to the very expensive Yard-O-Led Sterling pens. I know it's sort of an apples and oranges comparison, however, I think adding a thin metal pen like the Caran D'Ache might scratch that itch. For a while.

  The accumulator’s creed.  That’s a really nice pen, the pattern looks rad. 
 

@Tashi_Tsering do you feel the facets on your hand at all?  I should try a faceted pen next time I am at a store or a meeting. I can never remember at the time.

I have several different faceted pens. I don't feel any edges on any of them.
 

I'm sensitive to sections; I can't use triangular or square sections at all. I'm also sensitive to threads and steps between the section and the barrel.

   Ok, that’s good to know. I have an odd grip, so I’m wary of buying any non cylindrical pen unless I get to at least hold it first.

There are certain pens I only have one of. A Dupont and a C'dA.

Which one of each I'm not really sure of in I don't use them, they being nails. So I forgot which ones they are.

All are 18k nibs...all from @ 1990 plus, minus.

The wife ended up with the Cd'A roller ball in she's a Ball Point Barbarian........very, very left eyed dominate.

All I was after was the Pelikan Hunter Toledo and the black W.Germany 800 with a tad springier than '91-97 regular flex. I didn't even look at the other pens nibs, until afterwards.

I have Targa by Sheaffer in sterling silver. I love inlaid nibs by Sheaffer.

Parker Premier Monochrome Titanium. 
 

Sent to me several years ago from local Newell Brands office as a gift and for review. Nice pen, too bad it's discontinued.

[Tashi_Tsering]

Suddenly a new “gold” pen arrived. I expected it at best on the weekend. This is my gift to me for the New year.

 

NoName pen, most likely made in Japan: it arrived from Japan, the filling system is a Japanese eyedropper (one way shut off valve).

There are no inscriptions or marks. The pen is made of ebonite with a gold plated overlay.

The pen is small (see photo next to Montblanc 146), but plump: 10 centimeters in length (capped) and about 11 millimeters in barrel diameter.

 

Warrantied nib, 14k, I think #2 size. Line approximately European F, semi-flexible.

 

I really like the design of the pen, especialy spoon-shaped clip. I'm very pleased.

My precious!

Another fine looking pen.
