Also used a gray Parker Frontier, XF nib, filled with Visconti blue.

Using my newly arrived (yesterday) Jinhao X450, and my Classic Pen Set (not to be confused with Classic Pens -- this was a $19.95 set of 6 pens and a lifetime supply of refills sold at drugstores) fountain pen. Both lovely. Yesterday was definitely a good day!

Today, I mostly used my new (to me) Sheaffer Snorkel Clipper. It's grey with a fine-medium nib. I think it is the smoothest writing experience I have had yet.

Today I ran out of the house without my pens and so I had to make do the WHOLE DAY with only a Visconti Van Gogh Mini rollerball.

Back in Black:
>Lamy Persona matte black
>MB 149.
No, not black ink. PRSSB and Diamine Prussian Blue respectively.
gary, who thinks this might be his 500th post. So, is there a prize?

A Wality piston filler. Not sure of the model number. Just got the pen from Ron Zorn and for an inexpensive pen it is a great writer!

Gerry

In the pocket a Pelikan 1931 Legend of Our Time LE, and on the desk a sterling silver capped Aurora Optima next to a cracked ice Parker Streamline Duofold Pencil. These are very regular dailys. Oh by the way, this is my first post over here at the FPN forum.

I don't have a bombastically big collection of pens. However I like to use my Sheaffer Prelude and my Parker Vector .

Stipula Saturno -- green woodgrain ebonite, silver trim, crescent filler and 1.1 stub nib which I've just adjusted myself! Writes so nicely; this is immensely satisfying!

Parker Duofold, Parker 51, Waterman's Blue/Black.

Filled with Waterman Havana. 'Nuff said!

So, today I'm back to work.

I just can't stop using my two new Auroras: a yellow Ipsilon <M> filled with PS Sonic Blue and a Burgundy Optima <B> filled with Visconti Black.

They are niiiice!!

Andrea

I regularly use an Aurora fountain pen. It's probably 15 years old and it writes as if it were new. I have yet to find anything smoother.

Recently, I found a second Aurora fountain pen -- an "88" R, 802, that I received about 12 or 13 years ago as an award. I never used it, put it in my drawer where it has remained. Can anyone tell me anything about it? The box says, "precious gold plated version. Solid gold nib."

Is/was this a limited edition? Is it collectible and might anyone have an idea of what it might be worth???

Thx.

Mostly using my new copper colored $33 Danitrio from winedoc. Got it on Friday (thanks Kevin, sorry, should have let you know sooner) Inked it today at work. Nice smooth medium/fine nib, just like my other Danis except for the one I had Dillo turn into an F. Love it. Now I have to sell my black crosshatch pattern $33 pen I got from winedoc, which I don't care for because I don't like the pattern particularly, and my wife gives me that "What? Another pen?" look until I explain I am selling one to pay for it, because it is replacing the one I am selling. Anyone want a crosshatch $33 pen? I can take poor photos if you wish.

Donnie

Donnie, your post about $33 pen was 3333th post in this thread!

I just used Platinum Preppy with BSB today so far. Will be doing some writing tonight with NN Old Timer with Pilot Shou-ro, and NN stainless steel with FPN Van Gogh. Probably will use Ujuku pen with Fla Blue again, too.

World's longest thread?

Today, or rather this week, I'm using two Pilot Petit 1s---one brown, one azure, and I just opened up a Preppy in blue after the awful experience of my yellow Preppy. The blue is way much lots better. I'm also writing with one of those fi-dolla Stypens, with PR American Blue ink (really nice ink, must get other colors).

There's also a Pelikano that's just about written out, and, standing by, my Sailor callig model filled with a custom blue ink, and a deep evergreen Hero with ink to match.

I just picked up an Aikin Lambert BCHR and I've been using that all day. It's slightly flexi and took a little getting used to, but it's a very nice writer.

Today:
Pelikan 200 Translucent Blue with Noodlers Baystate Blue
Lamy Studio SS with xf nib and Parker Quink Blue-black
Lamy 2000 xf with FPN Tulipe Noire
Lau Lau pen with PR Chocolat
Parker 45 burgundy with Diamine Imperial Blue
Parker 45 flighter with Diamine Mediterranean Blue
Taccia Staccato Starry Night with FPN Starry Night Blue (black)
Reform Caligraphy 2.3mm with Noodlers Bulletproof black

Wow! What a pen! I am new to fountain pens, what is the model of this one? By the way, I originally from
Greenville, how far away are you? This is for southpaw, the orange pen.

I started a business trip in US. Loaded in my bag are:
- Aurora Optima w/Pelikan Royal Blue (ehi! the flow improved a lot!)
- Sailor 1911M w/Sailor Black... juicy
- Pilot Vortex w/Quink red. Disappointing! it leaked a lot during the flight...

Ciao,

Since I received my Black P51 Aero F nib (Blue Quink), I haven't used any other pen.
I've since bought a P51 M nib, but the F nib is sublime.

Stipula Etruria Nuda, 0.9 stub, Visconti Blue

4 in my briefcase today...

Big Red, Waterman Blue-Black
Omas Bologna, Waterman Florida Blue

Jane

Today I was using my Pelikan M215 with smooth 'binder' F nib.

Decision made to sell or trade this pen as its just too uncomfortable to write with (too short). Back to my Parker 51 tomorrow.

Eversharp Skyline with Parker Quink Blue/black
Taccia Staccato with FPN Starry Night Blue

Laban snake pen, I think it's got FPN starry starry blue in it.
Stipula Suprema Nuda, which has the next-to-darkest of the Pilot Iroshizuku inks in it.

Three pens in my roll for next week:

Parker 51 vac F nib, Waterman's blue-black
Parker Victory mk V, F nib, Herbin Rouge Opera
(newly resacked!) Stephen's Leverfill no 106 Italic flex nib, Waterman's violet


Regards,

Rob

Waterman's commando + quink black
Parker striped Duofold + Waterman blue/black

Hey I just noticed I don't have waterman ink in the waterman, but I do in the Parker. And Parker Quink in the Waterman. How'd that happen?

Well, that's just about as much excitement as I can have for one day...

My new Visconti Van Gogh Midi Sandal Red and my Reform 1745

The two pens I ALWAYS have on me are my tried and true Parker Jotter (been through 2 motorcycle accidents and three years of abuse) and my new Lamy Safari. I use the Safari and CUSTOMERS use the Jotter.
