M620 Berlin, with either the OB nib that's in it now, or swapped for the BB that's currently in my M600 dark blue transparent (which is quite good-looking too!).

Out of the ones I own: M800 Renaissance Brown.

 

But the M800 Tortoise has to be one of the most beautiful Pelikans to me. Would love to own one someday...

Bill, does your missus know you're two-timing her?

 

My favourite just might be my 101 in jade.

The M101n Brown Tortoise. Followed by the M400 brown tortoise.

 

Same here! My M400 is from the 80's, without gold trim rings on the section and knob, which I like.

:lol:

 

Pens and watches... yes, she knows. And I know about her quilting and fabric obsession too. In fact, since she has retired we've received far more deliveries of fabric than of pens and watches combined.

 

Ah, the jade. I imagine if I owned one I would also consider it my loveliest pen as well.

That's gorgeous. Love the light reflecting off the pen onto the right side of the notebook paper next to it.

Hard to choose between my M800 Brown Tortoise and my M400 White Tortoise. But I have to give the points to the White Tortoise. Next week, who knows?

Ah, what a beauty! That 910 Toledo is such a wonderful fountain pen. :)

What a pen! If I didn't have a maximum amount I'd be willing to pay, that would probably be a grail pen.

      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
