Two so far:

 

An Indian-made pen, manufacturer unknown, but definitely a copy of a Pelikan. Decently flexy medium nib, chrome plated steel (in appearance) with PR Copper Burst

 

My most recent Pelikan, no idea what model, Extra-fine steel nib with Diamine Imperial Purple. Photo below, if anyone has a scooby as to the model, I'd like to know.

My newest acquiaition, which has been soaking up major pen time the last six weeks or so: The Pelikan M800 Tortoise w/IB nib. This week with Sailor Jentle Epinard.

 

This is not the perfect pen (I have not found that pen yet) but it has immediately slotted in somewere among the top 5 of my fledgling (45+/- pens) collection. It puts me in mind of that 'back to the future' Delorean: knock out looks wit the power plant/nib to back it up.

 

This pen shares time with my blue stripe M600 with the Motishaw custom stub nib (currently with Diamine Asa Blue). The m600 reminds me of the Milllineum Falcon: Plain Jane on the outside but really souped up on the inside; that Motishaw stub nib is the secret ingredient that keeps it on the desk top and always filled with something blue.

Today, I have with me in my 3 pen case by Delta Markiaro:

 

1. Montblanc 146 (still one of my best writers amongst all the other MBs) with MB Midnight Blue

2. Sheaffer Imperial Touchdown with Iroshizuku Kon-Peki

3. Parker Vacumatic (F nib but writes like an EF - which I love for when I feel like starting to get more expressive and more Spencerian-ish) with my favourite black Iroshizuku Take-Sumi

[Water Ouzel]
