As the seventh happiness, Onoto 6234 in red and black marbled celluloid, with No 5 nib. Ink is MB Corn Poppy. The soft nib demands the lightest touch on the paper else the tines spread so ink disappears backwards. Otherwise it is well behaved.

For a change, using 1970 MB 149 with broad nib.

The ink is Pelikan Royal Blue.

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

Still my new Pelikan M400 with Pelikan 4001 dark green. Pelikan has a pretty weird idea about the appropriate line width for an F nib, but apart from that, it's an excellent nib on an excellent pen, which also happens to be the prettiest writing utensil I have ever seen. I love that thing.

 

I considered having the nib swapped for an EF nib, but quite frankly I love the way that thing writes so much that I'd rather adjust my handwriting to fit the nib.

NOS Parker 51 Special (1957-1958) with octanium nib arrived via mail.

This one has extra fine nib that I wanted for markups.

 

It writes so well...I love it! I am going to use this for a long time :)

 

Thank you everyone who made suggestions for me for getting vintage pens!

This is just a beginning...this Parker 51 and Vacumatic I have are so amazing...I am sure I will be on a long journey for getting more of these. :)

      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
