Your Loveliest Bird?

For me it is an old Pelikan 400 with an EF nib from an even older 100N. The nib is flexible.

For me it’s a tossup between my white torty M400 and my blue striated M600. I don’t have one but the blue ocean sure looks sweet! For me the color blue, especially a deep blue, is so appealing, it’s the color of the sky and the water. It’s always been my favorite.

Oh, man. That's a hard one. There are so many. It might be one of these ...

The M620 Athens would certainly be in the running, but I gifted that one to my wonderful Greek DIL.

I love my M605 Marine Blue because blue is my favorite color AND it was the very first expensive pen I bought so it has special meaning to me.

That said, as much as I love the Marine Blue, my newest acquisition is definitely the prettiest of the three I have: M620 Grand Place. I first came across the M620 Grand Place and fell in love with it in 2016. I searched long and hard for one of my own for three years and finally acquired one a couple of months ago. It didn't come with the original nib, but the 14K MCI it has is absolutely lovely to write with so I don't really care.

      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
