Today I used a Parker 51 and a Parker 61 Presidential, both with Iroshizuku Kon-Peki.

LE Parker 115 Anniversary Ciselle .985 silver Sonnet, M two tone 18ct nib. This pen which I bought from my local B&M shop needed no adjustment and writes as good as any P51 or P75 That I own. Inked with Quink Blue. Matching jotter to support.

Ditto, plus a Burgandy, 18ct gold trimmed Arte Italiano Omas Ogival extra with 18ct B nib; South Sea Blue.

A different Sonnet today. A 2nd Gen .925 Silver Ciselle, M all yellow 18ct nib, filled with Quink Blue/Black. I had not used this one for 3 weeks and it wrote without stumbling immediately.

Montegrappa "Alfa Romeo" with medium nib, inked with Montblanc "Ink of Love" - though I seem to have slacked when cleaning and the rather bright red of the ink has turned into a darker wine-like color. Probably residue from the dark blue ink I used before.

MB 149, with MB Mystery Black ink. Boring to some I suppose, but I enjoy it.

 

Nice! I'm using my MB 149 with MB Royal Blue ink... possibly even more boring, but a gorgeous combination I my eyes :D

These posts seem romantic, expensive, and remote next to my vintage every day pen & pencil sets. The two I have today 1) a large 'everlasting' with a medium nib, and 2) a 'commander', each filled with black Parker Quink. They make writing letters enjoyable, and promote flourishes in my penmanship.

That nifty flex Presto talkinghead sold me, with Waterman's Black. Believe it or not, that is one sexy combination! Smooth, flexy, expressive. What more can you want?
