^Nice choices, love it! The Harmonie is on my want list and the HB is my favorite ink at the moment.

 

Today I'm using the Danitrio TCII $33 pen. It's really got some heftiness to it, so if I get frustrated at work I'm likely to turn it in to flying bomb.

I'm perplexed--your replies show a honkin' MB 149 but your last 10 or so posts all refer to your using Sheaffers--when do you pull out the MB Torpedo?

So far today my go-to pen is an Eversharp Skyline. Not much to look at, but the best writer I can put my paws on at the moment. I tried to use one of my old Watermans, but, disappointingly, it doesn't hold (much) ink any more.

 

Cheap pens that write beautifully are it, for me.

Well since it's 4;25 Am and was awakened by an annoying telephone call, I haven't yet opened my journal or picked up paper to write the new snailmail contacts I've made here, but my Lamy Vista M nib and my newly purchased Retro 1951 Tornado are winking at me.

Well, today will be inking up my Sheaffer 300 Marbled Blue medium nib with Sheaffer Skrip Purple. I was only using a fine nib with the purple ink, waiting to see how it shows up from a medium nib.

Today's pen is a black and chrome Pilot Fermo vanishing point with Japanese broad nib inked up with Aurora Blue.

A burgandy Parker "21" that came in today with a Esterbrook desk pen that I got here from ebay. I got it because I was hoping the Parker was a "51" or "21" and because I need a desk pen to go with this Air Force desk set and ink. I served 4 years during Desert Storm at Offutt AFB, so when I saw the USAF set I knew I had to have it....

 

Now, is there any way to date how old the "21" is?
