Two firsts: My first Delta, and my first broad nib. The only question is which ink to use...

Nice Pen! Diamine Pumpkin for ink.

 

Looking for a black SJ Transitional Esterbrook Pen. (It's smaller than an sj)

What inks do you have?

Oh, I have about 15 in various flavors. I wasn't sure if I wanted to do something fun that matches the pen, or something more routine for utility sake (black, blue, etc). Larry's recommendation of Pumpkin sounds pretty fun, but I don't have any of that.

 

Aha, problem solved. I do have something that might work...I think that I will have to go with some J Herbin Ambre de Birmanie.

Now that's a mighty fine pen. Beautiful.

 

 

If it were mine, I would search for an ink with a yellow/orange/red mix. Beyond that, can't help you -- only you can decide what you like.

That pen deserves a fun ink... :lol: ... Ambre de Birmanie is gorgeous (but is a tad dry in some of my pens). Give it a go... but place an order for samples of either Diamine Pumpkin or Noodlers Apache Sunset. (or both).

      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
