Doing some research for a family member, so I went armed with:

 

Black Waterman Citation Taperite w/Waterman Florida Blue

Black Pelikan M400 w/Noodler's Dark Matter

Green Pelikan 400 w/Diamine Ultra Green

Sheaffer 1200 Triumph w/Sheaffer Blue

 

The Taperite got the lion's share of the workout today, but all of them got into the mix at one point or another...

Copper Esterbrook J with a 2556 nib inked with Waterman Serenity Blue. A really nice combo. The cotton content in the Crane paper makes the line a bit wider than on a harder, smoother paper, but it looks fine and doesn't feather at all and showthrough is basically non-existent.

 

Very nice handwriting!
