I used both the rose gold and ruthenium Montegrappa Cash Fortunas today. I cant tell if Im making $$ or losing it these days. Actually I can tell but Im in denial. Both are really fun pens though even if the nibs suck. Still need to work on these a little bit but theyre fun regardless. Im perpetually looking to add a Fortuna bang bang to my collection but they seem exceedingly rare for some reason.

Striated Blue M405, EF nib, with Edelstein Tanzanite, till it ran out of ink. Trying to decide whether to refill or flush.

Pink TWSBI 580-AL, B nib, with diluted Lamy Vibrant Pink.

 

Those are the ones so far, anyway....

My daughter just got back from a trip to Paris! Instead of a t-shirt she brought me a beautiful Waterman Perspective Blue Obsession! So it is inked up today and I am greatly enjoying it! Using the Waterman Blue cartridge that came with it.

Recently acquired a Lamy 2000 (F) and inked it with J. Herbin Perle Noir. Absolutely loving it so far, and cant wait to try other inks in it.

Also carrying a Pilot Metropolitan (M) with Noodlers Walnut.

Two new old pens showed starvation issues, so a sufficient disassembly, clean, and feed with new ink results in use today of a 1992 (parts may be older) MB 146 with GvFC Violet Blue, and a 1954 Pelikan 400 Schildplatt with GvFC Turquoise. The 146 in particular was setting down a pallid and fading line not at all like Violet Blue as I knew it. Now it is rich with colour from a wet nib.

It is a lovely pen and color except for the steel nib.

 

Mine was the Azure with CT and F nib until I loaned it for an indefinite period.

 

Are you hoping to get the nib tweaked? My F was smooth but nothing special.

      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
