That thread was getting to picture heavy and was too difficult to navigate, so I am continuing here with smaller images.

 

First for this thread is an Aurora 88 Demonstrator

You should try to host your images for free on imgur.com

Thanks flipper_gv,

 

It's a good idea, but I've been able to use the upload feature here on FPN to continue uploading my images. I guess this way we don't run in to the possibility of losing all the pictures, as has recently happened with another "free" image hosting site.

 

I also must thank you personally for your own thoughtful and comprehensive review of the Montegrappa Desiderio. Reading your review encouraged me to take the plunge, and I'm in love with the pen. Seriously amazing in almost every way.

 

The next pen here is another Italian - the Ancora Perla in green.

Aggoo, I'm happy that you enjoy the model as much as i do.

I have to admit I'm impressed it leaves you such an impression considering the level and breadth of your collection. All unique and great looking pens.

Waterman Carene in Coral

 

The regular Coral was my first 'significant' fountain pen. I still have and use it, with its stubbish medium nib. Whatever ink you used in this excellent review shows off the pen to perfection.

The ink for the Coral Carene is Iroshizuku fuyu-gaki. The best match I could find from my inks. Not a dreadful combo TBH.

 

The Desiderio surprised me with its beautiful wet and soft nib. Really wasn't expecting that, and it's also nice to see a resin pen done to similar standards as the celluloid pens. For the price, it's an excellent buy.

 

I'll put up a different Montegrappa here - The Eleganza in standard size.

Thank You

An American pen for today - the Cross Townsend in Lapis Lazuli

An unusual and perhaps unloved Montegrappa from the late 90s. It takes a while for the eyes to adjust, but once you take a deeper look, it's actually both complex and beautiful. Montegrappa Elmo in Bassano

Today's pen is another Parker Duofold. This time an International in Black Pearl

A different sort of Aurora 88 to compliment the demonstrator at the top of the page

Great little reviews! I think you have now found the magic formula in this topic#2, especially with the 4-photos-in-1 format. Keep it up!

On this page I particularly like the St Dupont Magic Wishes pen, and the beautiful nib on the Cross Townsend Lapis Lazuli - these 2 would have actually been a perfect match aesthetically speaking.
