I am working on reducing the number of pens I have inked. My method is to use a pen exclusively until it runs out. This is the pen I'm pulling from rotation and therefore is the"pen of the day" until it runs dry:

The nib and cap says "Silver Eagle" and the cap is stamped "sterling" It's a cartridge/converter pen. Does anyone know anything about this pen?

[Richard]

I don't know anything about your Silver Eagle, sorry. Pretty pen!

 

I have bowed to the inevitable, at least for the time being, and I'm now carrying (in addition to the "51") a ballpoint for signing those %^@$#! thermal credit-card receipts that clog my fountain pens. But it's not just any ballpoint, it's an Eversharp CA that I have converted to use Parker refills, and I have a gel refill in it:

Today I'm carrying my Aurora 88 filled with Sheaffer Black, My Navy Pinstripe Duofold filled with Parker Black, and a VP filled with Private Reserve Burgandy Mist. That's a nice ballpoint Richard (if you have to carry a ballpoint, that is ).

Hey, aren't you the guy that once wrote...

 

“If it doesn’t suck ink from a bottle, it’s not a Real Pen.” That slogan is a registered trademark of RealPens.com, and I’m a firm believer in the philosophy that underlies it. Which naturally means that “Pens in the Pocket,” for me, constitutes only fountain pens, two of them to be exact, in a leather case. I never carry a rollerball or a gel pen or — heaven forbid — a ballpoint. I have become so thoroughly attached to my fountain pens that it’s really quite impossible to conceive of a time when I should ever again choose to use any pen other than a fountain pen. In fact, I go one step beyond the RealPens.com slogan; all of the pens that might find themselves in my pocket are vintage models, the youngest being a mid-1960s Sheaffer Lifetime Imperial.

Ha! If you have to carry a ballpoint, THATS how you do it! Very Nice.

 

I've got a Sheaffer Target/Imperial III today I bought as a lark, but it elbowed it's way into my main rotaion. New rotation; (Black Valiant Vac./Burgundy Valiant Snorkel/Blue Imperial III).

[French]

Densho raw ebonite eyedropper flexi fine nib, Noodler's Luxury Blue

purpleish blue DaniTrio $27 tactical carry pen, M nib, Noodler's red-black

 

These will be the 2 pens in the rotation for the next week while I am on vacation in San Diego.

 

Hopefully, I'll have enough time with the tactical carry pen to be able to do a review when I get back.

Three pens today:

 

OMAS cotton-resin Bologna with Levenger Cobalt Blue (great nib)

 

Mont Blanc 100-year anniversary "Soulmaker" sterling L.E. Meisterstuck (gorgeous pen, but the granite cap is too heavy to use posted) with Private Reserve Naples Blue ink.

 

"Blue Diamond" Parker-100 with a Black Parker cartridge.

[Leigh R]

OMAS cotton-resin Bologna with Levenger Cobalt Blue (great nib)

Do you have the black one with the rhodium trim? I like the broad nib I have; it makes everything I write look a little bit more important. And with a bit of silicone fluid on the threads, mine is now an eyedropper.
