I use the silver pen every day, and I just got the other. I have no clue what they are, but they are my favorites out of many.

Hi shalley,
They look like a Duke 'Mini Torpedo' (top pen) and a Uranus 309 'Silver Ribbon'
(photos and info at Hisnibs.com---no affiliation to seller). I have the 'Mini Torpedo' and it's a nice little writer (I wish it came in a larger size---that finish on the pen is really lovely smile.gif )

This Hero is very nice -- holds a ton of ink, and has a very fine, nicely smooth nib, almost perfect.

Conway Stewart Elements Limited Edition, Earth.

Pen just arrived yesterday and I thought for a while about with what ink to fill it. Seemed like either a brown or a green would work, and after some consideration I went with Pelikan green, which was my first thought.

Been on a training day today... one Rhodia A4 pad and my new-to-me Parker 45.

I say new-to-me as this is a vintage midnight blue Parker 45 with gold trim. It was put together by Richard Binder with a 0.6mm stub nib. Loaded with Binder recommended ink mix of 1:1 Waterman Florida Blue and Waterman Violet.

This pen is sweet !!! I did a lot of writing (two converter fills of ink) and got more and more used to the nibs sweet spot and characteristics.

A keeper beyond reproach!

I take my Sheaffer's Craftsman Touchdown to school every day filled with Noodler's bulletproof black ink! As a pencil I use my Sheaffer's ca. 1930 Balance pencil.

Hi there,
Being an expat Brit I am using (and use nearly all the time) an Onoto oversize (6.5" long) with 2 gold bands. I love the plunger filler with a shut off valve (1/4 turn of the blind cap) as it holds tons of ink. The other pens are Burnham pearl and black moderne (like the duofold) and lastly a summit in red mottled hard rubber. As you see I like vintage English pens!

Todays are an Eversharp Skyline in in Black with GF cap, and a freshly restored Dove Grey "51" vac with broad nib and lustraloy cap

Yay! I got my new Sheaffer's Imperial IV fine nib today! It writes very well!
Nibble
I'm using my green and chrome VP with a med nib and Noodler's Red/Black ink. It seems to be what I use most of all.

Also I have a Sailor 1911 Demonstrator. I bought it on eBay (quite cheaply) and I have always suspected it to be a fake. I don't know why. I like it very much. One day I will try and compare it with one which I know to be the real thing. I fill it with Noodler's Ottoman Rose. It is just such a cheerful colour.

And I always write in my Smythson's Appointment diary using a little (junior?) blue Parker Duofold with Visconti blue.

I'm NOT addicted to pens and ink. Honestly, I'm not. I NEED them.

Purple Pilot Varsity (italic) with PR burgundy mist.
Red Esterbrook J with PR Tanzanite.

I wasn't thinking when I picked the two, and now I can't help but find it funny to carrying a purple pen with red ink, and a red pen with purple ink. smile.gif
Taki
Pilot Capless orange with J. Herbin Ambre. Has 0.9mm cursiveitalic in this pen but it's too wide fo me to use for normal whriting. Just ordered an F nib from Richard smile.gif

Platinum Riviere pink F nib with Noodler's Highland Heather. The ink works well with narrow nibs.

Parker "51" Cocoa w/ Noodler's Blue. Very nice color ink but time to flush out and use another color.
