Two Penbbs 471 pocket pens, the Piggy and the Fireworks, both with M nibs. I presume these are to celebrate the Chinese New year.

 

Also one of the 323 aluminium pens, in silver, with a medium nib.

My aluminum 323 just arrived. Beautiful mocha brown. The material is almost but not quite slippery. It's also notably heftier than the acrylic 323s and the balance is in the exact middle of the body.

Good to hear about the 'feel' of the 323, TruthPil.

 

I was tempted by the Mocha. Maybe another time. ;)

Platinum #3776 Chartres Blue with SF nib - use to have the medium nib and didn't love it but I was really drawn to this one.

It helped that it was at a great price too...

It really looks nice, if you want a pen that looks like metallic hot chocolate haha. The anodizing is perfect and the pen has decent heft (31.4g with full converter). They aren't selling quickly, so I'm sure they will be available for a long time.

I've just seen that the RM option is down to three.

Waiting for:

 

Kaigelu 316 Amber

Kaco Edge

JinHao x750 - sparkling sands

Baoer 388 - silver / gold

Baoer 051 - black

 

Ordered the JinHao and the Baoer 388 on January 25, so fingers crossed.

Sailor King of Pen. SE. Gold trim. Broad nib.

 

I have it now. Id post a pic but Im still having difficulty trying to figure out the new way. I like this pen more than my 149.

Currently waiting on a once-inked Pelikan M1000, green-striped with a fine nib.

 

I hope it does not disappoint -- my foray into Sailors was an expensive mistake. Not one suits my hand.

Monteverde One Touch in copper. Since it'll be my first Monteverde, does that mean for me it's the full Monte? :D

 

I dunno. I don't think you look much like Robert Carlyle.... :rolleyes:

Here's my list:

 

I've yet to get a Montblanc for myself.

 

I was close to getting a Montblanc 146 and last minute turned towards the M805 Stresemann. Now the M1005 Stresemann is on my list.

 

Similarly, I was close to getting a Montblanc 149 and again got the Sailor KoP Ebonite instead.

 

I love TWSBIs and naturally the 580 Emerald is on my list.

 

Maybe a Pilot or Sailor with music nib.

      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
