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

)

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!

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!

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.

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

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.
