Beautiful photos of an original and beautiful pen. I'm very fond of the clip. Did you take these with your new Leica, IANAN?

Thanks for the comment and sorry for the delay Petra, I've been occupied with other matters recently. The pic was taken with a Canon, the Leica is still something I'm getting used to.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of nothing at all...

My new Delta Profili in Silver and blue. It has a thread of its own, but I'll post a photo of it here - I have plenty to find use for...

It is a lovely pen!

Here are my blue pens, in order of acquisition from first to the last one received.

Levenger - Plumpster was my first, deep gradient blues with caramel/copper swirls...

Semi-Blue, I gave this $ Blue-Demo a new home, to an Elder Missionary with my church...

Pelikan M800 Blue-Striated barrel, during a refurbishing clean & lube, disassembled in this shot...

A better shot of those beautiful blue stripes on the barrel, with the pen reassembled...

My favorite blue is more of a blue-to-blueish-green or "Teal" pearl celluloid Rotring 1928 LE, looks more teal w/ indoor lighting, like this blue-pearl in the sunlight...

Seems that I too have a thing for blue fountain pens, as I have more blues than anything else.

“I view my fountain pens & inks as an artist might view their brushes and paints.

They flow across paper as a brush to canvas, transforming my thoughts into words and my words into art.

There is nothing else like it; the art of writing and the painting of words!”

Both very beautiful pens dandelion.

I'm very fond of Pilot VPs, after getting my first "Old Style" VP in "Mustard"-yellow.

If could afford more pens, I like to get another VP in the Blue Carbonesque, just like the one you have!

The blues pens that I had during some stage of my collection (I've since sold a lot of these, but added some new ones). I should take new photos of the collection now.

Doug, if it's the bright blue one you're talking about, that's a Levenger TrueWriter.

Thanks. It is a lovely shade of blue. Sort of reminds me of the Aurora Mare.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
