Burgundy Esterbrook "J" with a really smooth 3556 "Starburst" nib (Waterman's Blue/Black)

It was crazy getting out of the house this morning and of all things, I forget to put a pen in my pocket. I about panicked when I got to work. I checked my briefcase and still had a Rotring Freeway cliped in there that I haven't used in a month. I figured it was empty or dried up and hoped I had an extra cartridge somewhere. Well, I opened it up and it fired right off and wrote all day!! Mighty fine backup pen!

Grabbed my Pilot Knight this morning. It's loaded with a sample of Waterman Havana, which I'm really warming up to.

Take a guess:

 

It's German, some decades old.

 

Two colours, mostly black.

 

Very smooth and very light.

 

Cap fits perfectly.

 

Piston Filler.

 

Clip is a different colour than the body........anyone.....

My bank asked me to stop using bulletproof black on my checks, so I did.

Why did they request that?

 

oh yah...I'm with Lloyd. Whyever did they request that?

 

Call me curious :hmm1:

 

They said that Noodler's bulletproof Black in a pen with a broad or stub nib (which I was using on my checks) puts down a line that looks too much like the stamp ink used by corporations and by banks for signatures and cancellations. Although this seemed irrational to me, I decided to comply and am now using Legal Lapis. I was tempted to use a loud, raucous color, but decided I really don't want any more hassle. They are content with my choice of a blue in, so I'll just go with that.

Wrote a couple notes with a Rotring 600 medium, using Parker blue-blank ink. Then switched to a Franklin-Christoph M14 fine nib pen using Waterman Florida blue cartridge. -RacerX

Doing some financial projections so using a Parker Jotter Stainless Steel clutch pencil...........aaaahhhhhhh

 

Although in my shirt pocket is a 146 XF nib, MB black ink...........much better.....

Well, I recieved a few pens in the mail this weekend and a few from repair and also I work on a few:

 

Stipula Saturno Olive Woodgrain color W/1.1 Stub Nib

Aurora Optima Burgandy Red W/Broad nib (I worked on this nib for a few hours on Saturday) It was once a toothy nib now it is a smooth Juicy Broad nib!!! Patience and persistance Pays off!!

Lamy 2000 W/Broad Nib Thanks Kurt!! This is a fantastic Pen with a wonderfully smooth nib. Why did I wait so long to buy a Lamy 2000?

Visconti Copernicus Black&Blue celluloid striped W/Medium nib

Stipula Etruria Ocean Blue W/1.3 Stub Nib

 

TNS

 

 

Savage, I had a Stipula Saturno with that exact nib and I loved the way it wrote. I wasn't exactly happen with the olive color; I had expected something a little more "vibrant" One of my students LOVED that pen since I let him write with it one day. I gave it to him while he was standing in line to go on stage for his graduation. It was indeed a most magical moment. He's at West Point now and uses the pen daily.

Of course, now, I wish I had another one......maybe not the green one!
