A vintage Waterman, like the one pictured in this borrowed photo, that has been out of rotation for a while. Not sure of the model. It is a small pen, about the size of my CS 84, but I love the nib, an Ideal 14k Canada (fine?) semi-flex. I have filled it with Noodler's kiowa pecan, which goes nicely I think.

I helped index the the 1940 US census

A Fantastic Black Vacumatic, restored by Eckiethump, and a really handsome black statesman of a pen, lovely smooth nib and a huge capacity.

A real classic.

Parker 61 - which required me to perform unnatural acts to get it running with Quink BlBk - new stock.

AND my Pilot 'dancing bunnies' maki-e calligraphy pen inked with Visconti Green - older glass bottle stock.

...and I just flushed the last bit of FPN Noodler's Tulipe Noire from my Parker 45 flighter (B nib), did a full flush-and-clean job (since I didn't when it first arrived), and re-inked with Visconti sepia. The Tulipe Noire will go in the Core once I've used up the cartridge. I LOVE the Tulipe Noire, especially with the broad nib, but it didn't seem to want to play well with my P45. :(

I just purchased my first batch of inks and one was Visconti Sepia. I'm delighted you mention it. I also just received a Visconti Opera Master. It is my intention to ink the Opera Master with the Sepia. Do you think this is good combination? I would rather get it tight first time.

Two pens today:

The first one is a C.1942 Parker Brown Vac Maxima with a nice wet medium nib

and the other pen is a

Mk 1 Midnight Blue Parker 51 with gold filled cap.

 

Both are loaded with Diamine Imperial Blue.
