Not the best pic, but here's a Tibaldi Trasparente with rhodium-plated trim and fitted with a Montegrappa OM nib:

Here's my Pelikan M215 M. The photo was recently used for an ABC feature on fountain pens.

Hey David, it might be because of the angle of the shot, but it sure looks like that Ancora nib has some awfully long tines. Is it flexy? Nice pen, by the way!

Hi, Ryan. It's an interesting nib. It's a #6, but (I believe) made by Ancora, rather than Bock. The tines are longer than those on a Bock, but the nib itself is actually pretty stiff, so no flex. It's a great writer, though; feels nothing like any Bock I've tried. Take care,

David

Oo! What's the darker one on top? Is that a Delta? Is that travelling with you to Pen Posse?

 

 

Grr... Internet! Here's the photo:

Ethernautrix, what is the pen with the Doric clip? Cute little thing, in any case.

Ahhhh the upper pen. That pen is your fault too.

 

That's a Delta Capri Marina Grande. I got that along with the Curtis and the CS Belgravia.

 

I will bring all three of those pens to the pen posse. It is after all your fault.

 

 

 

 

DAYoung- the lower pen is a Signum DDP in the Doric style. There are corresponding Ionic and Corinthian styles in different resins.

Thank you, AltecGreen.

 

I'm normally indifferent to pens with that finish, but the Doric detail is so wonderfully kitschy, I can't help myself.

Neo, is that the 2006 Bexley Owners Club in the top right corner, pointed to by the VP press button? It is stunning...

Great photo, Jimmy. A nice contrast of colours, textures, shades, forms (e.g. the linear pen with the rounded forms of the postcard).

[Jimmy]

Thanks Damon. I have some other pictures, They have been done too quickly, but it was funny to have in mind something of the 30's, travels, propeller airplanes, love story in Egypt or adventures in the Red sea :-), literature of the time... The english names of the first Doric colors are magical for me, Burma, Cathay, Kashmir...

 

This bue is greyer, deeper and darker in reality, I lightened it. This is one of the nicest colors ever seen.

Yes, it's an evocative pen: suggestive names, from a golden era of pens. And it is a beautiful blue, even in your retouched shot.

 

I don't usually like this sort of pen. But your photo caught my eye...
