Lamy 2000 with Noodler's black. I love it!

[goodyear]

Having today received the three FPN inks :

 

Danitrio Takumi, flexy F, Noodler's FPN Galileo Manuscript Brown (a bit wet - maybe I didn't let the rinsewater dry out enough )

Parker "51", F, Noodler's FPN Dumas Tulipe Noire

Pelikan M205 Demo, Binder 0.6 stub, Noodler's FPN Van Gogh Starry Night

 

But since I'm leading a small conference this weekend, I'm also still toting my Pel M200 Citroenpers with Penman Mocha as a known combo to fall back on should the worst happen.

Three pens were my choices today:

 

1. Montblanc 149 with broad nib, Noodler's Forest Green Ink;

2. Waterman Edson Sterling Silver LE with fine nib, Private Reserve Lake Placid Blue Ink; and

3. Sheaffer Snorkel Clipper with fine nib, Sheaffer Skrip Green.

[goodyear]

I'm now comfortable enough with the new inks to have returned the Citroenpers to the fallow case.

[frans-utrecht]

I will not use them all today probably, but I carry them in my briefcase and the first three I have actually already used today:

 

Faber-Castell, Graf von (sterling), with Waterman turquoise ink

Aurora Dante Alighieri (green), with Mb racing green ink

Caran d'Ache Dunas (charcoal), with a neutral dark grey ink

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

Pelikan M1000 with Noodler's Blue for signing

[Deirdre]

Green underwood (london) piccadilly stylo eco with a Stipula green cartridge I had lying around. This is a smaller, cartridge-only pen, and it was the only regular international cartridge I happened to have in green.

[PAKMAN]

It's a Noodlers kind of day!

 

Pelikan Sovereign 800 Blue Stripe fine point with FPN Starry Night Blue (black?)

Lamy 2000 extra fine point with FPN Tulipe Noire

Visconti Amber Kaleido Voyager fine point with FPN Manuscript Brown

Pelikan Translucent Blue 200 Binder ItaliFine with Baystate Blue

[sdonahue]

Today is a Cordovan Brown P51 Special, 1950, FP; and a 1937 gold/brown striated standard Sheaffer Balance, FP

[Kelly G]

Today it's a Sheaffer OS Balance - Black w/a firm (what else) m/f nib and a Parker Vacumatic Major - Emerald Green Pearl w/f nib. Both are filled with FPN Van Gogh Starry Night Blue.

 

The Vac is a new acquisition from an auction box and I finished the restoration a couple of days ago along w/a 1940's vintage Waterman. I don't know the model - it's a lower end plastic pen with a thin single cap band and a wonderful flex # 2A nib. Both pens restored well and are proof that great pens still exist in the wild - just keep looking through those estate auction boxes!

[feiye]

It was a Montegrappa type of day today, I inked up the Montegrappa Micra Light Blue with a Dupont Royal Blue cartridge and found an old 300 series and filled that up with Montegrappa Green (disgusting colour really...)

 

As always, my Lamy 2000 EF filled with Pelikan Black got some use. I'm also testing some M800 nib sections so the green M800 has been filled and refilled with Waterman Florida Blue all day.
