A pair of 75s. Lately it's always a pair of 75s, both '93 French production pens.

I am a wicked and guilty person. I recently was searching for a Canadian made P51 vacumatic intended to become a birthday gift for a member of our government. After much searching I found and purchased a 1946 blue diamond, paying perhaps a little more than I should have. I was surprised when it arrived that it was in perfect working condition. So after a good clean, I tested it by filling with Akkerman Turquoise, then carefully smoothed the tip and used it to write a letter to a penpal. Now I do not want to give it away. I do have my own P51 vac, but it does not have the gold clip and blue diamond. Oh the guilt. What will I do. Anyway, that is the Parker I am using today.

The first year gold band cap on the DJ cedar really looks nice. I think that is one of my favorite of all the caps Parker offered on a regular pen. One thing that would make the Nassau look even better would be a SJ.... :excl:

a 1989 Duofold International, black with flat gold trim, a rather fat F nib (lovely), inked up with Parker Penman Ruby

 

a 1992 Duofold Centennial, black with raised gold trim, wet M nib (wonderful, still inked up with Parker Penman Ruby, but I'm about to produce some Binder's Burgundy and try that out)

      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
