I'm having a Parker 51 day -

My fathers 51 Signet which got me into all this problem with collecting pens. A Parker 51 Special medium nib, black barrel gold cap, incredibly smooth and my first 51 Vacumatic.

All with Noodler's Eel Blue ink. The stuff is amazing!

I'm using the Pendemonium go-along eyedropper pen they sent out with Noodler's Legal Lapis 4.5 oz bottle from the end-of-year sale. It works great! But I've got a see-through Sharpie Accent Liquid Highlighter on my desk with almost exactly the same construction, save the felt tip versus nib - it even uses a collector! wild...

Also, brought in a black Esterbrook J, #2668 nib, with Parker Quink Washable Blue - very nice, scuffed up but a perfect writer, and I'm very happy with this 2xxx series nib, it lays down a good line but isn't too wide or wet like the #9668 nib I have.

Today was my new Parker Duofold day: 1990 Duofold Orange with Noodler's Habanero, Black Mosaic with Noodler's Ottoman Azure, Navy Pinstripe with Noodler's Blue, and my Pearl & Black with Noodler's Navajo Turquoise. I was able to use them all today!

My pens in current use as of today are my Parker Sonnet with Noodler's Black, turned Lapis trustone with Noodler's Luxury Blue, my "work" pen - turned zircote with Noodler's Red-Black, and my Parker Inflection with a black cartridge as backup. I'm happy today.

Today... or this week rather.. it's been a toss up between my Parker 21 Super and Pilot 78G.

Today I used my small Lalex 1938, a beautiful italian pen -octogonal section- with cap and barrel all in sterling silver with silver plated trims. A little jewell in my pocket.

Tomorrow will be a Montegrappa day...

Pencraft Herald in black ebonite, medium nib, and with Shaeffer black. Yard-O-Led Viceroy Grand, Fine nib, Hero washable blue ink.

Pelikan M150 - Medium Nib / Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Blank Ink

I her this pen has been discontinued... too bad...

Today, I'm using two of my grandfather's pens that I have thoroughly cleaned and re-sacced....

Waterman's No. 56, BHR, flexible fine nib, with Skrip blue.
Waterman's No. 5, brown nib, with Quink black.


Heritage.

I'm taking three pens to work today: a Pelikan 1000 fine nib in black & green with Noodler's Blue ink, a Montblanc 149 broad nib with Noodler's Saguaro Wine ink, and a 1945 Parker "51" fine nib in sterling and Cedar Blue with Noodler's Ottoman Azure ink.

1) Red Striated Pelikan M800 with Minuskin-made broad stub nib. Waterman Havana ink.
2) Metallic Green and Gold Sheaffer Legacy with Masuyama-tweaked stub nib. Diamine Imperial Blue ink.
3) Black and Silver Waterman Carene Deluxe with stock broad stub nib. Arora Black ink.

I'm using a couple newly re-sac'ed treasures: a red Esterbrook LJ with 9550 nib, loaded with PR Arabian Rose, and a green striated 1930's Majestic lever fill with its original 2-toned "Super-Point" nib inked with Quink Green. Both pens work beautifully; the Majestic is dry if left standing overnight, but a touch of saliva from the tip of the tongue gets it going without a problem. I polished up the Majestic with Simichrome the other night and it shines like a jewel - it's my prettiest (and maybe cheapest) pen right now. Perfect for the office!

Also got the Pendemonium eyedropper pen here, loaded with Noodler's Legal Lapis for any waterproof ink needs. It's also a happy writer.

Namiki VP dark blue medium tip with Stipula Calamo ink. Peace,

Hero 616....for Chinese writing and a Parker roller pen for English writing(not having enough money to bur myself a new Fountain Pen

Pilot Custom 98 with Pilot black ink, and Cleo Skribent Ebonite with Noodler's Luxury Blue.

Still trying to find the darn Ipsilon that's hiding.

Today I'm carrying my Waterman Leman 100 XF with Havana Brown; a Sailor International with broad nib and Sailor Blue; a Safari with fine nib and Noodler's Walnut; and my trusty Phileas (medium) loaded with Quink Black.

Attended my first full day lectures after hols and was writing notes with my Sailor Sapporo Rhodium EF with Sailor Blue Black ink, and after lecture, ran to get some PR tarzanite ink, and a Sailor Resin Makie Chrysanthemum in F to go along with...

been writing with it all night! lovely!

Hello,

have changed from my Waterman Hemisphére Red GG with fine nib to another Hemisphére Satin Blue with medium nib. Wasn't too happy with the fine one, but I like this particular Waterman, it's elegant, not a little bit flashy, just some kind of timeless Design. And then my Haolilai 801F, it's a superb writer. I like it's golden details and the colour combination even if I'm almost more a chrome/stainless steel/silver fan, not only in Pens, but also in Watches and Jewelry.

Greetings from Germany after a long time;

OMAS Lucens Blue with a Mottishaw-tuned M nib, filled with Stipula Deep Blue. Best,

Wrote notes today in church with the MB 145 filled with DeAtrimentris Vanilla Brown ink, also inked for work tomorrow are the Pel 800 Blue stripe filled with Diamine Mediterranean Blue, and a sweet Pel 400 semi-flex Brown Tortoise filled with Levenger Skies of Blue ink.

I wrote in my journal using an Esterbrook J model that I won in an auction on eBay.

Trying out new ink...

MB Racing Green in my Pel M400 White Tortoise & MB Violet in black Sailor Sapporo Mini.

LAMY Studio, only FP i've got, so yeah, now you know.

I've got:
-a Montblanc Meisterstuck frederic Chopin with that lovely burnt sienna ink they did for the holidays that is supposedly scented but smells a bit nasty to me, lovely colour though ). This stays home, too big for my bags, too sentimentally precious to suffer the tumbles the stuff in my bag takes lol. Medium nib.

-a sweet, cheapo Parker of unknown model--black plastic body and chrome cap, probably a fine nib. Basic eraseable blue ink.

-my most recent acquisition, a black with gold accent Sheaffer Agio Compact, medium nib and loaded with loathsome black ink Travels around with me.

-my second most recent acquisition, a small royal blue Parker with gold accents, medium nib, but unknown model; the rather knowledgeable old gent who owns the penshop where I bought it did say it was a limited edition. the nib's still sort of hard, but I'll work on it at some point

Well, that was my first-ever post in reply to an actual question on your lovely forum! hope I haven't messed up

i brought three good (but cheap pens) to work to keep in my pen cup--my Rotring Core and two Parker Reflexes. I don't use these enough at home for my "real writing."

I am using the Rotring Core today and i have forgotten how nicely it writes. It's got a Pelikan Black cart in it, but I think I need to get some Waterman carts for it because it's a hard starter with the Pelikan carts.

Hi dashboi
Can I ask how the inkflow has been with the Sapporo for all day use and reliability, because I am looking into buying a Sailor FP
Thanks

A green and gold Sheaffer Special Snorkel with Palladian Silver open nib. The sac is still good, but the seals appear to be useless; I fill it up by blowing into the sac cage to collapse the sac, then letting it expand naturally with the tip dipped into the ink. Someday soon I'll need to send it to someone with the parts to fix it, but for now I've got it filled with Waterman's Havana Brown; it writes a fine, controlled line, not as heavy with ink supply as my Parker P51. So now I've got a Snorkel, and I think it's alright!

On the work desk:
> Visconti Aida, nib tuned to a cursive Italic, Herbin Blu Myositis ink.
> Omas Blue Celluloid, medium nib, Omas Roma Blue ink.
> 51 Flighter, fine-but-flows-like-a-medium, PR Supershow Blue ink.
Two Italians, and the American Just Joe.

Today I'm carrying two pens only; my new Parker Sonnet Crocodile, loaded with Pelikan 4001 blue, and my trustworthy MB #342, filled as always with MB blue/black.

All my pretty little loved ones are sleeping snug in their holders, except the Safari.

I abuse this poor pen.... carry it in my pocket and let my keys scratch it up, write on all sorts of awful surfaces with it (oil covered shop orders - I make a living in manufacturing where boots and earplugs are required), I loan it out to people who exclaim "oooooh is THAT a fountain pen?"

also as usual, it's full of noodler's zhavigo.

Today I used:

-Parker Lattitude Rollerball (black ink)
-Parker Midnight Blue Sonnet (PR Midnight Blues, of course)
-Lamy Vista (J. Herbin Bleu Pervanche/PR Avacado)

Today I took notes all day in class with my Waterman Carene Fine Point. I did also carry my Phileas, but I was lovin the Carene on my new Black and Red notebook way too much to put it down.

Today, I carried around...

1. Montblanc Meisterstuck 145.
2. Parker 51 Flighter.
3. Parker Duofold senior 'Big Red'.

Today I USED...

1. Dip pen.
2. Waterman Phileas (It's one of the few pens I own that won't feather through the pages of my new diary).

I am using a Shaeffer Sentinel TM, Touchdown w/ fine Triumph nib. I finished restoration on it last Saturday and I have been putting it through it's paces since then. It is filled with Quink Blue-Black.
