Gee for a few seconds I thought I only had a late '30's Wyvern.

 

As I went to see how to spell that, I found a lot of green pens waiting sac's. Wearevers, from 1938-42.

 

Then looking at someone's 1000, I saw I had others, Pelikans 400NN, 140, 120, and some Reforms...but I'd thought them all black because of the caps...

 

..how odd perspective is.

 

There are a lot of very nice green pens shown here.

Makes me think I'm looking at a cityscape though some vertical blinds.

Very nice.

 

My Sea Green Carene puts me in a nice mood of green when I use it.

Hmm favorite green pen.

Well I have the MB Dickens and few Snorkels.

I will have to go with my Sheaffer Snorkel Fern Green.

It was down right the hardest pen for me to get and thus the one closest to my heart.

Respect to all

Favs (2)...hum.. tough one...Parker 51/1951 Demi Aero in Forest...and my bsn Ice Green VP LE ... shin-ryoku in the Parker, and Amazon in the VP for now. I'd have to DQ Pels that are green & black as they have plastic parts that aren't green. Metal caps on all green bodies seem to meet the criteria of green pen, as well as well as accompanying bright metal furniture types, sections in black skirt the issue,... duly noted... that many vintage pens only had black sections.....LOL.

Since the subject is on the color "green" of a fountain pen, more than likely the next one up for me that I'm contemplating on is the Sailor Professional Gear Demonstrator. Kinda sorta like a "toxic green"! B)

I'm a big fan of the Chronoswiss demonstrator by Pelikan. WorldLux has some nice pictures here.

bumping this as i'm in need of some inspiration for a green pen.

 

first green pen that caught my eye were sheaffer balances in marine green.

 

that emerald patrician on the first page looks awesome. i'm sure the price is awesome as well lol!

 

a old style omas paragon in saft green also caught my eye. i think i like them more in the shade of olive. it just gives me a more masculine vibe dunno.

 

i'll also be looking at modern watermans. i do remember them having a few nice green pens at affordable prices.

 

i know pelikan has always had a semi green pen. is there any other brand with green in their dna? waterman perhaps? now that i see the patrician.

 

also what inks do you use with your green pens? i pretty much stick to waterman blue black and don't think they would be terribly out of place with the pens i mentioned above. green ink may be harder for me to stomach though i remember seeing a bottle of green waterman somewhere.

While trying to decide if I should order the Aurora Ipsilon in Sea Green, I decided to first order a green Pilot 78G. If I like the Pilot, it will make it easier to choose another color for the Ipsilon.

not all are fp's as i picked the pics that showcased the green as much as possible.

 

i like the middle color but am attracted to the somewhat ergonomic shape of the exception. 2nd one is not bad at all actually.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
