Several today due to flushing 4 JIFs and an M300 - mostly Kana-cho Midnight, with traces of van Gogh Dark Green, KWZ Red #1 and Inspired Blue.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

The fingers were encased in gloves, so no trace of the 4 ink changes. :D

Pelikan 4001 Turquoise

Seeking a Parker Duofold Centennial cap top medallion/cover/decal.
My Mosaic Black Centennial MK2 lost it (used to have silver color decal).

Preferably MK2. MK3 or MK1 is also OK as long as it fits.  
Preferably EU.

A little GvFC Moss Green and Sailor Yonaga, from rinsing out the empty cartridges for future use.

Aurora Black - filled a converter and put it in a Baoer 388. When I had to use it all the ink was nicely deposited in the cap. Another converter solved the problem but did not clean my hands :D

Ellis Island. It crusted up inside my TWSBI 540, siezed the mechanism and stained the innards. Full pen dismantle, soak and flush with bleach was needed and the pen is now loaded with SailorDoyou to help it recover. What a shame. Watch out people. I adore its colour and will be a lot more cautious with its use.

Glad the 540 lives on. A thorough service saved the day. :D

Quink Black, just from being stubborn. I have a leaky 717i (from abusing it with weird chemicals) that I'm using as a guinea pig. I ground it to a 1.5mm stub with a diamond file, and I actually like to write with it But it always inks me. The nibs seem swappable so soon enough it might be my daily carry.

Today it's Diamine Ancient Copper. I have found I really like this ink. It's a great match to my Visconti Medici and I just now inked up my Pelikan Amber M200 with it. I think I should have gotten the larger bottle instead of the tiny 30ml of this one. I don't care much for the bottle.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
