I really want a Gold Point!!! I was wondering why they didn't add the white swirls to the cap?
Nice looking pen...!!

Still using my Visconti Opera Club Cherry Blossom.

Mabie Todd Blackbird BCHR.

Pelikan M215 Blue with Pel. Royal Blue ink.

That was EXACTLY my question! But, I went to the Visconti website, and the Gold Points all have the amber(only) cap. I definitely wanted one with white in it! The pen is ok.............would I buy it again?? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....not so sure. But, where I pen-shop, they definitely allow exchanges within a reasonable amount of time, soooooooo....who knows? I really like that Omas Bologna, though!

I guess I'm not the only one who thinks that the white swirls should be on the cap!! It would look really nice with the swirls. Also imagine
if the swirls lined up when you cap the pen....HOT! I may just buy it for the gold color. Maybe I can train my brain not to process
the swirls on the barrel...

It arrived this morming, a beautiful Sailor Sapporo Black/Rhodium with fine nib. It writes just as smoothly as I thought it would, and Fine it is! So far I have only tried it with the Blue Jentle ink cartdrige that came and I must say that it meets my expectations. A very fine line, not too wet not too dry, just perfect, and above all, smoooooth! Thanks Pam Braun, for a great shopping experience.

Clear Reform italic with PR Blue Suede
Sheaffer Craftsman Carmine Red with stub nib filled with Levengers Fireball red

Pelikan 200, Platinum 3778, and Waterman Phileas.

A Laban Mento called 'Black and White Electric' with a fine point. Wild-looking huge pen that attracts a lot of attention. Writes well, too.

For Friday (and probably the remainder of the holiday weekend), I've inked up:

Visconti Van Gogh Midi in Sandal with FPN Galileo
Aurora Ipsilon in black/silver with Noodler's Legal Lapis

I've got my blank moleskine and I'm ready to go!

Muji all aluminium and own recipe S.A.T. Black ink

Dark green Cross ATX with own mellow brown ink in my pocket

Parker Duofold Big Red.

Dip-pen.

Made a right mess today writing down stuff in preparation for university. Ink flying everywhere...fun...

In the backpack: Lamy Safari, fine, Noodler's Legal Lapis for journaling and general writing.
In the shirt pocket: Pilot Birdie, medium, Noodler's Baystate Blue for calendar and incidentals. I love this pen/ink combination!
For italic writing practice: Parker 45, stub, Pelikan Blue-Black. The shade variation is great.

Back to it!

Used my Morita Sapporo Mini now filled with Diamine Tropical Blue at work all day. When I came home, Lamy Studio Pearl White was waiting for me. I filled it with Montblanc Violet. Writes very smooth, beautiful pen. A bit longer than I thought, but that's OK as girth is not too big

Tibaldi Modello 60 Ivory/Blue, 18kt ef nib, filled with Blue Black Montblanc.

Bye!!!

Two Esterbrook "Relief" pens, one ealier model in chased BHR the other later in green hatch. The black filled with blue quink the green with black quink. With these it is all in the "Relief" oblique nibs. Bliss.

Stipula Eturia Nera fine point. It's filled with Diamine Florida Blue.

My new Pearl White Lamy Studio XF inked with Lamy Blue!

A Rotring Initial, fine nib. Even though it is harder than my Sonnet, I prefer it for everyday work as it never (or almost never) spills (due to APC system).

Pencraft Churchill, Bexley F point, Private reserve Sonic Blue.
Conway Stewart Duro, IF point, Visconti Sepia.
Pelikan M405, Binder Italifine point, Waterman Violet.

A very nice line-up to use.

Oh and I just remembered there is a Pelikan Epoch italic nib floating around somewhere in my briefcase with a rare ink for me, it has a black cartridge in it.

Oops, I found another pen in the brief case a blue Rotring freeway with a dried up Waterman Florida Blue cartridge in it. Got to go... I've got a pen that needs cleaning!

Waterman Carène, F, Sailor Blue-Black.

Probably going to go back to my Carene again tomorrow as it needs some work still after tweaking the OBB nib slightly the other day.. Doesn't come up to par against my #32 but its nice that they have different subtleties

Flushed my Blue/Red Lamy Safari. Filled it with Stipula Moss Green.

White Lamy Safari, filled with Lamy BB cartridge.

In anticipation of something to stipulate (offer letter), I'm going to stick exclusively to my Stipula DaVinci Infinity as long as is required. And maybe longer.

At the moment, I've got Noodler's Iraqi Indigo in it.

Since I ordered other-than-black inks yesterday, I looked through my pens to see which ones I would use with the new colors (probably the MB Boheme with the PR Midnight Blues) -- the anticipation!

Anyway -- dug out this Cross, I don't know, it's a slim rose-gold FP with a 14kt EF nib, and filled it with Pilot blue-black, thinking the while I didn't really like this pen... and lo and behold! What, 20 years later? I'm surprised. I like it! Overall, it isn't really my style, but I like it enough to use it until my other inks arrive and I get a coupla other pens into rotation.

(I'm still not over being able to say "pens in rotation" and know I don't have to explain.)

Stipula Duetto with 0.9mm Italic Titanium nib and FPN Galileo Manuscript Brown, also blue VP with a Richard Binder ItaliFine nib.

Plus Palladium Sheaffer Crest with homebrew dark blue.

And a Namiki Falcon Smooth Broad with PR Midnight Blues.

And a Stipula 22 Titanium Broad nib with FPN Dumas Tulipe Noir.

And a Waterman Carene Deluxe Medium with homebrew.

Yup, that's about it so far...

I am also using:

MB StarWalker (XF)
Sheaffer Connaisseur (XF)
Pelikan Souveran M215 (XF)

But I'm always using those. The Cross was the new one.

(I just wanted my 100th post to be in this thread. 'Kthx.)

I'm using my grandmother's Sheaffer Vac-fil - from the 40s,I think. I don't have an exact ID on it, but when I get a few minutes I want to post a pic and have you penophiles tell me what it is. All my research has just left me MORE confused than ever (not that that is hard to do lately).

Tibaldi Trasparente, M/F Minuskin stub, Waterman BB/Black custom mix. Best,
