My first Writers Edition, the Mark Twain.

Is the silver plated?

The trim isn't silver, but it is platinum plated.

Just acquired a L'Aubrac Special Edition. It's currently getting its nib swapped. I couldn't be more excited.

 

(note: this isn't my photo, as mine is getting a nib swap; this is a stock photo of the pen).

I just added a coral ReN that is going back to the boutique for a nib swap. It is a good thing the new WE is not coming out until later this year, it would be hard to justify buying 3 fp in less than a month.

I just picked this up last week. I thought that it was a very unique pen and I decided to add it to my collection.

Just got a birthday present from my whole family. Birthday was two weeks ago, but I have not seen them since then.

Altough it looks like a normal edition, it is not. Can anyone guess what edition this is?

Finally got a hold of Leo Tolstoy ink, and got another 146 wedding pen a resin one to go with the solitaire one :)

I went on a MB shopping spree in recent months. Pen-wise, I bought the M rollerball, and two 149s, both with O3B nibs (platinum and red gold).

 

Ink wise, I picked up the Leo Tolstoy, permanent grey, and blue hour. The blue hour is an interesting ink, definitely shows more character with the O3B nib (and I'd imagine most broad and wet nibs), it shows a sheen that's lacking in dryer nibs, which tend to lighten up to a faded teal when dry.

I'm interested to know that you found the blue hour ink to be effective in your platinum OBBB nib.

I happen to have blue hour ink, but heretofore hadn't considered it as a possible OBBB ink.

For several months I've been wondering which inks may work best in BB or OBBB nibs.

Your comment above is very helpful! Thank you.

      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
