M200 brown marbled. I wasn't home when the mailman came by this morning or it would be in hand already. I am picking it up at the post office tomorrow morning.

No more new pens for a while... unless... one of *those* comes up, of course, then I might have to consider it... just consider mind... or, unless, possibly...

Wooooah. That nib is awesome! Okay, I need to think about getting something reground at some point. :wub:

So what's the ink you're using?

Wooops , sorry I didn't see your question till today - the ink is Diamine Sargasso Sea , much maligned but still a favourite of mine.

So the ink works well in that pen? I found that Sargasso Sea had problems with clogging and hard starts in nearly every pen I tried it in, and gave up on it in favor of Akkerman Shocking Blue.

Waiting on a Martemodena Freedom "To Love" in red marble with Rose gold trim (broad) and a Delta Techno ballpoint, I know, I know, but they came as a set.

 

Heading to the writing desk later for some Private Reserve Dc supershow Electric blue for it, and some other inks too.

 

I can't wait. :)

Just paid an eBay auction of a Sailor 1911 Large Rhodium (a new one).

 

From Japan to Brazil, I can’t wait to get it, almost my grail pen, my first gold nib pen and my most expensive yet to date.

Lamy 2k EF, Sailor Sapporo Blueberry F and Platinum 3776 century SF

Really cannot wait!!!!

The soft fine 3776 is a nice nib! Just depends on what your expectations of the nib are though. I kind of misread what I was getting into with mine.

Looks like Ive got an abalone Signature Pen Company George model coming in next month courtesy of massdrop. Ive got a thing for abalone pens but only have a Xezo Maestro in abalone in my collection so far. This incoming should be a nice pen to add!

Im waiting a TWSBI ECO-T, a 580AL Rose, an Ensso Piuma, some Ranga’s.

 

 

Just paid an eBay auction of a Sailor 1911 Large Rhodium (a new one).

 

From Japan to Brazil, I can’t wait to get it, almost my grail pen, my first gold nib pen and my most expensive yet to date.

 

 

Now Ive bought in eBay auctions a Sailor Life Time Rouge and a GEHA 600 School Fountain Pen (because the original company name was Gehabrüder, and my last name is Bruder, from brüder).

 

And only the ECO-T arrived today (while Im not home :-/), every other pen Ive bought is ‘floating’ around the world. :-/ :-\ :-(

I haven't purchased a pen for a while because I didn't know what to get next (well...actually there are so many of them I want lol). Also I needed to save up for LA pen show after spending a lot during holidays.

 

However, I came across this NOS 1956 Montblanc 262 on Gary's site and couldn't resist...ordered immediately when I saw...

 

So excited...

Dream, take one step at a time and achieve. :)

Is that just 'G' or 'G+' too?! They do a G+ in clear (demonstrator) now, too, you know. Not that I'm trying to enable anyone or anything... :)

      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
