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?

Today is a day for my Bulow x530 Mitternacht, fine nib, filled with Montblanc Burgundy,

Testing some new inexpensive (but not cheap-feeling) Chinese pens today:

 

Naki mini pen in green and orange swirl

Baoer 'Skywalker' - seems to write very well for a six-dollar special

Haolilai #601F--very cool-looking black pen with copper sparkles

Kaigelu #335 Diamond Shell---very spiffy indeed for under $20, heavy black pen with gold trim and mother-of-pearl inlay

 

Lastly, 'GaoGaiGar!", I mean, a Gui Gan #10--which has a BROAD nib. Ultra-smooth filled with JHerbin Vert Empire!

[Bill Smith]

Today's pen is a MKII Parker 51 Navy Grey from the mid 1960s loaded up with Noodlers Blue Black.

I have my Namiki Falcon SM filled with Iroshizuku Yama Guri. So far this looks and feels great !!

 

I have my Sailor 1911 large with naginata nib staring at me. I am going to fill it shortly. Having sampled all my Iroshizuku inks the other day, I think I will opt for Asa Gao.

[Doug Add]

My current:

 

Cross Century 2000: Chrome with medium 23k gold nib (Just bought to replace the Century II as daily user)

I may need to find a different nib for this though as I'm not wild about the medium. Anyone know if this is the same as a townsend nib? They look the same and the ink reservoir looks the same and not like my century II... Can't seem to find a lot about this line.

 

Cross Century II: Blue Laquer with fine stainless nib (Used daily for the last 3 years at work)

 

Unknown Pelikan that I bought at London Gatwick about 10 years ago

Nakaya Piccolo Housoge Kikyo, music nib, Herbin Bleu Nuit.
