Dug out my Peli 1050 for a bit - Watermans Burple.

It's a day for biggies

 

Always have the cedar blue "51" dj though - Watermans Burple.

 

Cheers,

On the toad for the next 2 weeks so I'll be carrying the same pens (hopefully I've chosen wisely)

 

Hero 100 stainless steel <F> Noodler's Baystate Blue

 

Kumiai eyedropper, 1930's vintage, Urushi over black ebonite <F-wet noodle> Noodler's Red-Black

 

I have to say that the Red-Black ink gives amazing shading with this wet-noodle nib. This ink was a favorite, and it is an even better performer combined with this ink.

I now have 4 pens inked...here we go again.

Both of these are hand turned and are a pleasure to use.

The top pen is from OldGriz and it is filled with my own "red" mixture.

The bottom pen is filled with PR American Blue.

Brown Sheaffer No Nonsense. Medium Nib. PR Chocolat.

I was using a Lamy Safari (black, medium nib) at work, and scribbled some notes when I got in with my Waterman Expert II (matt black, another medium). I think I'll stick with the latter if I need to write anything else by hand tonight: it's a good pen and I fear it's feeling neglected.

Today, I'm hand-editing a piece and making notes, alternating with my teal Rotring 1.1 ArtPen filled with J Herbin Diabolo Menthe, and the blue-black Plat Preppy.

Lamy 2000 Broad Nib with Quink washable blue ink

Enjoying a flexible 14K gold nib.

[diplomat]

I'm at work with my new Aurora Talentum. It's the D11/A model, celeste color, rodium trim, 14k medium nib.

Filled with Aurora Blue (purchased on saturday at a Treviso shop, Marton Regalo. They didn't have the black I was looking for originally...) in the Aurora Converter.

 

I am satisfied, the medium nib is finer than german/italian standard and has a lot of feedback.

 

Ciao!

Today I was using a Sheaffer Prelude black fountain, with ink sheaffer black, one Parker 45 black with Sheaffer ink blue-torquaize (?) and a Parker 45 rollerball fine point;

[dogpoet]

Is that one of the current 45s or a vintage one? I've been thinking of getting one of the current models as they look a very nice pen for the money, and I'm assuming a lot better than my Vector or Frontier.

(The Frontier, actually, is great. The Vector, far less so.)

Waterman Carène, it sails from one page to the other within my Moleskine, driven by trade winds in my imagination.

Two Parker 45 "Refresh" Flighters, recently bought. Both have steel nibs-one is labled medium, beautifully smooth, but actually more like a broad (which suits me fine), and one has a an Oblique broad exchanged for me in the shop- TJ Sharp of Perth, Australia. This nib has great line variation with a tiny bit of 'tooth', and was an exchange nib they still had as new old stock from years ago... great fun!

 

To complete the nostalgic experience- my first 'real' pen at school was a 45 Arrow (the one with the plastic cap) in Teal Blue- I've filled both wioth Royal Blue Quink.

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

I'm using and old Cross ballpoint from Kodak and a custom-made wood barrel bp from one of my students. Uses the Parker refills and writes very well. Need a good Pelikan or Parker FP.....
