Nib smoothing has been successful!! My Campo Marzio Minny is back in regular service a beeeeeeeeeyooootiful smooth fine nib

Diamond Black Edson with fine nib and Parker Blue Quink.

 

Very different but very enjoyable writing experiences.

A Chinese job, recently bought in a job lot of 4 FPs for $20 inc shipping, no makers name just A33 Classic. Pen writes really nice, never dries up and works from the first downstroke of the day, unlike my Parkers which seem to know the start of every sentence and leave a line which has to be guessed by the reader.

 

Handsome too in a Black pearl finish with gold bands. The pen has a good solid weight to it and a satisfying clunk when the cap goes on.

Bravo! I, too, used my Edson Diamond Black today, a medium nib and Noodler's Navajo Turquoise ink; I also used my Edson LE Sterling Silver with fine nib and Noodler's Blue ink, and my sterling silver Sheaffer Imperial and Sheaffer Skrip Purple.

 

I love inlaid nibs....

Visconti Swisher Van Gogh with PR Plum

Sheaffer Balance II with Noodler's Luxury Blue

Stipula Vedo Amethyst Violet F nib with PR Tanzanite, diluted I wonder why this pen is not more popular...absolutely gorgeous, writes wonderfully, and piston fill at relatively low price point.

This week I put a beautiful steel patterned Parker 45 (shield pattern--harlequin?) back in use after mothballing it last year. It has a beautifully smooth fine steel nib. Dry-out resistance is pretty good--just a little extra nib pressure and it starts right up.

Levenger True Writer, still with the Baystate Blue. I've never been particularly happy with how my True Writer performs, but I have to admit that it writes better with the BSB than with any other ink I've put in it.

MB Fitzgerald,

 

This is my oldest pen and it was out of rotation for a long time. Will use it till Wednesday.

I kept bringing pens to work in my shirt pocket, and just putting them in my credenza drawer at night. So now there are

 

1/ Visconti Aida - Dupont Bleu Nuit (thanks to Punch for the ink)

2/ Bexley Poseidon - Waterman BB (terrific service by Dennis at Parkville Pens for the Poseidon)

3/ Lamy Persona - Omas? Diamine? Who knows? (Thanks Leigh for the pen swap)

4/ MB 149 - MB Bordeaux (an uncharacteristically non-blue ink)

5/ The 51s - Flighter with PRDCSSB, and DJ Vac with Waterman BB.

6/ Safari variants - Vista with Penman Sapphire, Al Star with Swisher Sequoia

 

And dat's da name of dat tune.
