I had a very active week on the Bay (well for me anyway):

 

Waterman 3--Black, needs sac

 

Waterman 32A--Grey/red streaks, needs sac

 

Conway Stewart 15--blue marble, restored

 

Conway Stewart 466--blue marble, NOS

 

Papermate (W. Germany) Chrome NOS

 

Need to take a breather now!!!

Not the whole pen, just a supplemental section, feed, and F nib for my Waterman Phileas, directly from Waterman, $27.20USD plus $6USD for shipping. Not bad for a pen that, NOS, crazily sells for $200 on eBay and Amazon.

I love the smell of fountain pen ink in the morning.

A Sailor Pro Gear gold trim with an Emperor Broad Nib coming straight from Japan. Not one of the Nagiharas or Naginatas; just a plain Broad, but with the Emperor overfeed :)

I do believe you'll very much enjoy using it. I've used mine for longish sessions and it's great (although I don't post it).

 

Just wanted to pop in here to say that the TWSBI has arrived today and it is SO SMOOTH. I'm very, very happy with it!

I am waiting on 3 pens, all Pilot Custom Heritage 92s - blue, orange, smoke. I already have the clear one. I am so lucky and I can't wait.

Still waiting to hear they've been shipped. :-(

Sadly no chance of them arriving before I go to NZ on the weekend. I'm hoping they'll be here when I return.

Aurora Black. Boring, I know.

Sadly, ink flow got dry and skippy after 2-3 pages. Disassembled, cleaned again and refilled. Hopefully that fixes it, otherwise I'll have to contact TWSBI I guess.

Just ordered the biggest one yet... A Montblanc 149. Never seen or held one so I'm really hoping I'll like it. Also my first piston filler pen! I wanted the 90th Anniversary but I was two days too late in getting the nib I wanted :(

I keep thinking about selling some of my pens but all that happens is I keep acquiring more!

Black inks can be exciting! I'm sorry there was an issue. Yes, contact them, if it persists. Hopefully, the disassembly and cleaning remedied the problem. Keep us posted.

Lamy 2000 - super super excited as I've thought about this for ages. From Goulet pens so fingers crossed I get a good nib!
