Montblanc Irish Green

 

It's probably my favourite green. :D

Ho ho! I just yesterday received from the ever-gracious Mr. Propas a 101LE in jade! It is drop-dead gorgeous and, along with my LE in lapis, is going to get lots of <use>...photos will follow when I have a few minutes spare for taking some pictures...!

 

My Pelikans get far more use than anything else I have, I reckon. I have a few nice Omas; but they just are not often used -- for shame.

I finally got a Pelikan 400nn in the tortoise color I wanted--with bits of light green. Also a few R200 rollerballs and two modern Pels: M600 white tortoise, and R620 Grand place (not pictured). I'm embarrassed to write this out--so many pens!--but haven't posted in a while here, so I guess it's ok ;)

Hi lisantica, how did you contact Chris Burton? I'm trying since months to get hold of him because I want exactly this 'Blue Tiffany' binde for my Pelikan. So far all attempts sending him emails failed. Never got any reply :(

Café Crème with EF nib. Bought it used. It came inked with some turquoise ink. Once that's gone, I'll try it with a brown ink, perhaps MB toffee brown (?).

Incredible, you know I like it.

I bought it from a private party. I think this one I bought was made a few years back.

Used #800 with a 14C-585 fine nib.

I found it in a pawnshop accidentally.

The flex nib from the late 1980s is like a dream.

I'm so happy with my new-old Pelikan.

I just received my very first Pelikan, a Pelikan 400 made in 1952, to celebrate my birth year. EF 14K nib, and it writes beautifully. It has even been able to keep up with my fastest scribbling as I take notes during interviews.

Never argue with drunks or crazy people.

Here's my newest bird. He has a supportive blue friend. They both flew home with me today from the DC show.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
