Today I am using my newly acquired vintage Esterbrook Green LJ with #9968 firm broad nib. It is putting down a beautiful line of Noodler's Eel Turquoise ink.

[da vinci]

Montegrappa Nero Uno - wonderfully smooth pen that writes easily from the case, despite my not having used it for a few days.

 

Graf von Faber Castell Intuition - the terracotta and black model, which looks fantastic and has a great nib - seems to improve my handwriting without me even thinking about it.

I just have received a vintage pen approximately from the 40's. It's called a "Stylus" and the nib is "radian tipped Made in the Usa".

The nib is something like a semi flexible one, but not too flexible, unfortunately because I bought it to have a flexible nib. On the other hand, I can write with it well, it's comfortable.

 

Do you know what kind of this pen could be?

Sometime ago, I purchased a prototype of the Bexley Intrepid from Parkville Pens. The color is fabulous. You can see a photo of one here: Intrepid.

 

Richard did the regrind on this from a broad to a 0.9mm cursive italic and it is a wonderful writer. I will be using this pen often.

Well, I'm a newcomer in the world of vintage pens, now I have the parker 51 (present from my father) and this Stylus. i'm still looking for a good flexible or wet noodle fountainpen, but i'm sure I will find soon...

The webpage you citated is very interesting, thank you.

I just got a Kaigelu gray and amber pen from Todd at isellpens. I'm very impressed! It's filled with Waterman Havana Brown. Very smooth! And though it's a little heavier than I usually opt for, it's very nicely balanced. I'm going to use this one a lot.

[jniforat]

[ThirdeYe]

Today I received my Pilot 78g with a fine nib and inked it with Noodler's Bulletproof Black. Love it. I also used both of my vintage 1920s pens in my signature.
