I'd like to give a nice Bright Red Parker 45 with a smooth & crisp ground Italic nib.

 

I'd like to give it as a prize for penmanship or calligraphy or somethin' artsy. I'd like to suggest Psalm 45 verse 1 since this is a 45! Any translation/version you like.

 

So, if you think it would be fun, write something, add it to this post by midnight on Sunday June 8th and I will choose a winner on Monday and post it at noon, and ship the prize.

 

For some reason my uploads aren't working at this time, so you can see the prize on my last post in Market Watch.

 

enjoy ~

Here's my entry! I seem to be the first, so this will get the ball rolling.

 

This is also my first go scanning any writing. I don't have much Italic experience, so I used flex writing - the 45 is a pen I've always liked, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to kick off italic learning Italics on such a great looking pen!

 

I imagine this'll get pretty image-heavy, so this is a thumbnail (click for full size):

I look forward to seeing everyone else's entries too :thumbup:

 

Edit: The sample is written with my Esterbrook SJ 9128, which has some nice flex even though a lot of people find them quite stiff. The paper is Ryman's superior, and the ink is a mix of Pelikan's Red and Violet, which I've decided to dub "Tied Lover Purple" (an anagram of violet and red)

Cheers! I was going for simple and neat - I always thought Bible passages written with lots of ornamentation miss the point a bit.

 

PS: I added the words "verse 1" afterwards and they're a bit cramped. Yuck.

      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
