Near mint French Parker 75 Sterling Cisele w/18k med. nib and diamond cut cubic zirconia cabochon. I have never seen another pen like this. Date code TE (Q1 1985). In the photo on ebay, it was black with tarnish and barely recognizable, but it polished out perfectly. Beautiful pen!

Today was my first day using a rollerball since being introduced to Fountain Pens. I must say it went smoothly. It was a MB Le Grande 162 blck with platinm trim. I will be carrying it regularly now. Might not see much use but ill have it

Dragon Pen with Dragon Blood just for Halloween , ah, wishes.

 

[Robert Hughes]

Belmont lever pen, sold by the Rexall Store in the 1930's. It has a Warranted 14k nib and is filled with Lamy Blue Black. It's primitive and eccentric, but it sure has character.

Today I put Parker Quink washable blue in my Sheaffer Valor black/gold trim with M-nib.

It writes so smooth as silk. But sometime it start after 2-3 mm.

Remind me of the baby-bottom effect.

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

Today I used my wonderful old Pelikan 120, bought at the Conklin Book Store on College Street, in Appleton, Wisconsin, during my first week of college in 1970; it's fresh back from Ron Zorn's repair, leak all fixed, and filled with Private Reserve Lake Placid Blue. I had forgotten just how smooth that nib is...
