The cap is blue and the pen body is green ? It is an interesting combination . :thumbup:

I love Fountain Pens, with hooded nib in the classic style, Parker 51/61 type .

Jinhao 992, inked with Diamine Macassar

You appear to be enjoying the 992 Eli, or are you just trying to find a matching ink? :lol:

With five pens presently inked, I have to assign a task to each one of them. They're decent writers, but build quality is disappointing: cracks, leaking converters, nibs sticking out, etc. I wish I bought a pair of Lorelei (well, I have one already) instead of a six-pack of 992's.

Ahhh, we live and learn.

I hadn't bought a 992 as I didn't really fancy them, although I had considered buying one as everyone else seemed to be jumping on them.

 

I defo won't be considering them now :D

Thanks Eli

Eli, I agree that the Lorelei is a far better quality pen. I do think the nib on the 992 is a decent nib, and using the nib in another pen.

This Hero 1202 - first of my recent acquisition splurge to arrive. I'm fairly sure I thought it was a piston filler - I think it was late at night when I ordered. Anyway, inked with the dreaded BayState Blue because... why not?

Its been put into use filling up my journal - pleasantly surprised at how nice it feels and writes. Happy days.

Writing with my newly aquired Jinhao Y3 with a brass/rosewood barrel.

Really an interesting pen, but it must be pretty new because I can't find any reviews of it online. Has a fine nib and writes really well. Currently inked with Diamine Blue Black.

This is the first time I've seen this pen too.

I really like it.

It comes in a few different guises I see.

Another one for the list.

 

Thanks Haun :D

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
