I only have one fountain pen (right now, I sense an impending addiction however). It's a Mont Blanc Starwalker. Love it to death. I also write with a ball point, Mont Blanc Noblesse Oblige. Another nice little pen.

Already thinking about another one though, especially since I've been writing a lot more recently.

Today will be an OS Sheaffer Balance lf in Black w/M nib filled with my utility blue - an unscientific mix of vintage Osmiroid Blue and Scrip Peacock Blue. And a Parker "51" Aerometric, gf converging lines cap and forest green barrel w/M nib filled with Pelikan Brilliant Black.

Today is a pen I received in the mail yesterday... a wonderful writer, black Sheaffer standard Balance (1935-45) with smooth medium nib, filled with Skrip blue/black.

Nakaya Red Urushi with flex medium and English Grey P51 which writes a pretty wet medium. I know it's a strange combination but it seems to be working.

Sheaffer Valor Black/Gold Trim Medium nib with Parker Quink Washable Blue.

I've got too many pens inked, so I wrote out my Hero 616 (the green ink I had in there seemed more like green-black) and today I'm working on my Lamy ABC with Lamy Turq in the cart.

Today's pen for me is a Midnight Blue Parker 51 (USA) Aerometric F nib with a gold filled cap loaded up with Noodlers Baystate Blue, really nice combination.

]Does anyone know what this is? I actually knew about 6 months ago and no longer remember. I got it NOS without papers. The Nib is clear that it's a Pilot Namiki.

I would appreciate any help and I promise to write the name down someplace permanent.

Hi friends I am new to the forum and would like opinions as to a nice desk set fountain pen. I prefer a VERY broad nib; I've been accused of preferring to paint rather than write. This would be largely used as a signature pen. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I'm off to training today, so I selected two pens to take with me. My cadmium yellow Sheaffer Imperial with stub nib and my Conway Stewart #58. Both loaded with PR DC Electric Blue, diluted (one part water - the stuff just doesn't dry otherwise!).

I am using my c. 1944 Cordovan Brown USA Parker 51 with a gold filled cap with Quink Washable Blue in the pen.

For some reason this pen will only work with Quink Washable blue anything else, it writes dry.

Pelikan M625 red, F nib, Waterman Purple ink ^_^

Desk set? You mean as in pen and pencil together?

I just inked my Sheaffer Legacy in B nib for the first time since discovering the converter has a missing part (I used a cart, k? In Gold.). This thing writes like a garden hose! Maybe the pen for you?

Sailor,

NOt a fountain pen and pencil set; a desk set with a pen and pen holder. Like you I would like a flexible broad nib

A Sterling Silver Sheaffer Imperial with a jaw dropping wet LFOBB nib you wouldnt believe.

Today's pen is yet another 51 (slowly going through the 51 collection), this time an India Black single jewel with sterling silver cap from 1942 again inked up with Quink Washable Blue.

A beautiful M320 (jade green) which was sent as a present by a dear friend, to cheer me up after my recent cancer diagnosis! it is sooo tiny! But perfectly formed, and writes as well as its big brothers and sisters too.

As I am away from home for a couple of weeks, I decided to take two cartridge pens:
Parker 75 Lady, fine nib, Blue-black cartidge
Parker 45 , medium nib, royal blue

Regards, Rob

Carried a Cross ATX and Parker 21 Super.

I did ink my new 1942 Sheaffer Triumph Sentilel lever filler. It appears to be an F. A little scratchy unfortunately...

I wrote a foreword in a journal (plus pen) I'm giving away with my Sheaffer Legacy and Sheaffer Gold ink (is it King's Gold?), and a brown Pilot Petit 1.

Today I let my 6-year-old son use my Sheaffer Valor medium nib with Pelikan Brilliant Green ink inside. He is learning to write alphabets, numbers, and drawing some pictures.
He tried my Lamy Vista broad nib before, so I feel a little confident in him not to drop my Valor on the floor.

Visconti Romanica vermeil, Mudejar, and Renaiscimento in Art Deco pattern. 2 stubs and a B nib.

My pen today is not a 51 like what I have used for the past week. Today is a vintage Conway Stewart 58 loaded with Quink Blue Black.

My pen this weekend has been the red and black ebonite Menlo from Brian Gray's Edison Pen Company, with Noodler's Red Black ink.

Hi I am a citizen of India and there are really very cheap pens available here .
I use a Reynolds rs. 30 (less than 1$) grippy model which writes extremely smooth and a parker 2$ beta fountain

Today's pen is a grey 1946 USA Parker Vac Major with Nickel trim with a firm fine nib bordering x-fine.

Today's primary pen is a burgundy PFM II with an XF nib, filled with Private Reserve Midnight Blue.

I've gotten a Monteverde USA that has become my daily user. It is a very well made pen and feels exactly right in balance and the nib flows like a dream.

Anyone have any opinions about the Monteverde pen?
